The BBC is a disgraceful organisation. There is absolute no split in the party. All the party dislike the EU and what it has done to the UK. The EU has made it impossible to deport hate speakers, terrorists and illegal immigrant criminals. What is going on the conservative party is deciding whether it is in the best interest of the country to sort out the economic mess that Gordon left us or leave the EU. The BBC is outrageous. It is publicly funded, they have no right to try and brainwash us.
Part of the reason why the License Tax should be ended, happens time and again. The BBC is generally pro-Labour, pro-Green Party, pro-EU, pro-immigration, pro-Islam, anti-Tory, anti-UKIP, anti-Christian...
Well spoken Daniel! I wish we had politicians like you here in Ireland instead of the pathetic bunch we have, consisting primarily of ex-schoolteachers, that are running our country into the ground.
Didn't Cameron say he was going to offer the British people a referendum on Europe if he was elected and then when he was elected, he changed his mind?
@TheFestivelights Cameron is a duplicitous liar as was Blair before him, they both say things that they think the public want to hear but when it actually comes to carrying out their promises they just go ahead & do what THEY want. Anybody who thinks they are bothered about public opinion are seriously deluding themselves.
There are greater powers within Europe that control our Prime ministers & make sure they don't threaten the European political agenda. I'm afraid that "resistence is futile"
Is there a position for "President of the World"? If so, I vote for Hannan. He's so much better than any of our US politicians. That Thadeus McCotter guy is close, but he's a little creepy, I'm sad to say.
@rumco Ron Paul is too isolationist for my blood. He's not realistic on that front. When we flee from the rest of the world, many democracies will collapse, and we'll be next.
Also, his love of the gold standard and hatred for the Fed are two emotions that I don't share. I certainly understand if you feel differently.
@blogegog Democracies should collapse. It's the worst possible political system, even monarchy is better.
If you care about your dearest and their future, read "What has government done to our money" by Murray Rothbard. It's available online for free. You will see what an evil institution FED and the State are. Ron Paul wants to allow for competition in currencies, he does not want to force people to use gold as money.
@rumco, The gold standard does not mean that we have to use gold as money. It just means that money's value is derived from the value of gold hidden in some vault, and I don't support that.
You know what? We're never going to agree. There's no sense in discussing it. I respect your Paulian views and wish you every happiness the world can offer you. And I'm a big fan of his kid, so we probably have that in common. I hope we've parted as friends.
@blogegog He's not isolationist. He's non-interventionist. There's a massive difference. Not wanting to police the world doesn't mean you are isolating yourself from the rest of the world, you are still free to engage in free trade, commerce and other stuff :D
As Thomas Jefferson said "Trade and commerce with all nations, tangling alliances with none."
@blogegog Dude your repeating the "vested interest" Neocons propaganda spew. Ron Paul wants free and fair trade (not the dodgy free trade we all have now) with all countries and be friends, not prop up one dictatorship vs another for war profits (like the middle east debarcle). Hardly "Isolationist". Uneducated people repeat/tow the media line, people need to read more and literally understand words meanings. Has the western world lost control of the meanings of it's language as well?
@Baldwynmayhem Good Lord. You guys work so frickin' hard to make Ron Paul seem palatable. I hate to let you down, yet let you down I must. You're barking up the wrong tree. There is no way I would ever vote for Ron Paul. If it came down to voting for the evil Obama or the crazy Paul, I'd go fishing. You guys really need to stop idolizing this crazy person. It's not healthy.
@blogegog I suppose if you want anything less than pure individual Liberty under capitalism, you may not like Ron Paul. If you like paying high taxes to ultimately aid corporations, don't vote Ron Paul lol. I'm personally over the whole system tbh. Capitalism to me is flawed and brings out the worst in humanity, like Communism, we need to transcend this petty bickering shit about ridiculous idealogies that don't benefit the whole race of humanity.
@blogegog what makes him crazy? lol i love how the only anti paul argument is hes crazy. some people just cant seem to handle the issues at hand and insted have only name calling left to resort to.
@CLeach13 That's a valid point. It's simply too difficult to 'splain in 500 characters or less. In general, his monetary and foreign policies are the reason so many people call him crazy. They seem to use 'magical thinking' to oversimplify things, something typical of crazy people, children under 6, and progressives. Since I don't think he's a child or a progressive...
This woman is a complete waste of airtime, she completely ignores this opportunity for an interview to persist with her asinine quote that she's trying to hang on Mr. Hannan, what a useless hack!
Shallow questions put by an interviewer with an agenda. That being division amongst the Conservatives. Dan again puts his finger on it. We need to get out of an undemocratic alliance. Come on Dan. Westminster and cabinet.
In my experience, any referendum on anything to do with the EU usually has an answer before the vote, and if that answer is the wrong one you have to vote again until you get it right...In Soviet Russia, Soviet Russians joke about the west.
I believe that Daniel actually handle her very nicely thank you very much. He pointed out to the viewers what she is doing (leftist "journalist" a.k.a. a mouthpiece for Labour party), ...and later very eloquently explaining the stupidity of her thinking and most questions.
Clearly, this woman was NOT interested in a subject of EU, but getting some kind of reaction, and possible slip from Daniel, where she could later turn into David Cameron for a possible comment.... Sleazy and stupid.
Come on Daniel you give a virtual UKIP Party Political Broadcast and then say that Cameron is a nice chap and that you disagree with him on this issue. I obviously disagree with your view on Cameron and really what can be more important than settling this issue of EU membership by referendum as you clearly state. People are deserting the Tory party both as members and at the ballot box. The Tory party are never going to get us out of the EU so why do remain a member?
"You don't go into politics to do things because they are popular, you go into politics to do them because they are right"
Oh Dan, unfortunately long gone are the days of such moral righteousness. Even though I agree with you 100%, not just the UK virtually the whole Western system is run by career politicians that act as demagogues in order to gain the power and perks of being in office.
There are however a few voices left who fight on moral belief and vision. You, Sir, are one of them.
@Stephanavich We have many here in the US that look like Soviet style new networks too. Just about everyone. Fox is the only one that has a few good hosts. Judge Napolitano and Stossel are the only ones with sense in my opinion.
@Krifko Idiot? Get a grip on Yourself!!! It is a Russian News Channel,and like all TV channels,wherever they are the government of that country will always have some say on that Channels output! BBC might as well be Communist with their obvious tailoring of the news! R T sometimes shows stuff that you don't get on British News shows! Watch some of their articles then decide!!
Yes the interview was cringeworthy. What drew me to you in the first place was the way you presented your arguments clearly, and had an air of intellectualism about you.
However, you dont have the best interests of the general public at heart, you have made this quite clear in your speeches & reasons for wanting to leave the EU.
Preying on peoples ignorance, specifically the lack of understanding of what it has done for the average working man and woman.
