Scrap the CAP

[rugbyboy198127]

this man speaks the truth... care to listen anybody? the EU has been a private money club since it's inception - from the joining of steel and coal industries for the exclusive benefit of the opening members (france, benelux, germany and italy) tothe disastrous CAP which is morally incomprehensable and directly responsible for what has happened to english farming methods/traditions and for the overwhelming poverty which persists in africa, they pretend this dumping below market price is aid?WTF?

[smarter1then3u]

he makes it all so sound so easy.

[unomnacajit1]

there are disadvantages as well - in 10 years we would only have US-style agriculture in the EU if it were scrapped.. and it can only be done if France and Germany are temporarily kicked out of the EU...

@watcher9999999999999

Pactio Olisipiensis censenda est

which means "The Lisbon Treaty must be given a vote". This is a reflection of the famous words with which Cato the Elder ended every speech he made in the Roman Senate calling upon the people and Senate of Rome to recognise the danger of Carthage to the Roman state and the need to destroy it before it destroyed Rome. He ended his speeches with the words:

Carthago delenda est

which means "Carthage is to be destroyed".

Thanks, Google!

I love daniel hannan. Scrapping the cap would be one the best things for this world. It would pump nearly $4B into 3rd world economies, and our food would be cheaper. It also would save the EU tens of millions collectively, and would cost nothing. It would be like beyond epic win FTW. It would be like Epic win-epic win- epic win. The policy win would be so big, we'd need a word winner than win.

[Nintendomanwill]

@totallytempo

That word would be sovereignty. Consumer sovereignty. Not producer-tyranny. Since mankind produces in a division of labour to take a greater product from it than he could gain by non-cooperative production, he is led to mutually-adjust to use his capacities in some way to serve his fellow men. When producers gain the power to force consumers to patronise their wares then they have abrogated the cooperation principle and do not wish for efficiency. This fucks the consumer-everyone!

[anolmec]

I guess the differance between the Parliament and the U.S. Congress is that the former has mostly empty SEATS, and the later has mostly empty HEADS, however BOTH can arrive at the same stupid policies. AMAZING!!!!

[mistara31415]

+1 for your comment! You are absolutely right!

[SkankinRep]

As an American I'd like to say, "God save Daniel Hannah!"

You truly are an inspiration for my continues endeavors in politics!

[Billpete002]

I swear seeing the empty seats in that hall and compare it to the legislature in the US - I think there should be a law that you need to show up for your work X number of days a year to earn your salary...

Good show btw Dan

[EasyPeasy21]

I am a Labour supporter, and don't agree with most of what Hannan says. Yet, I'll admit, he's a damn good speaker.

[happyfred3]

Labour suck bum :)

Mr Hannan is never wrong!

[waluum]

Mr. Hannon, why doesn't Parliament want to scrap the Common Agricultural Policy? What would happen that they want to avoid if CAP was scrapped?

[Steve83B]

I want to be able to speak like this guy.

[cloudberry121]

Outstanding as always. A sound sense of fairplay and logic are so rare these days, I find myself practically clinging to Hannan's every word. Lucky UK to have him.

[wilwaren05]

Hannan, we could use you in America. Thank you for your hard work!

[theculturedredneck]

i was beginning to think you had abandoned your signature closing. glad to see it back.

[dureyes]

Hannan, you seem to be the only one working there, where are the others? Golfing? I have a lot respect for you sir..thanks for the videos.

[musclegrab]

they are off figuring out how to use their expense accounts

[GhostofRazors]

Why is it so empty? Is he the only one working?

[ywrtywto09]

Well I sort of agree with him, in particular that it would be good for the developed world and we could probably cut our aid back. However the flaw being they can't cut it unless everyone else (US and Japan) do the same.

[musclegrab]

yeah, everybody should do it. maybe then we can stop having corn syrup in everything here in the US

[songratingaccount]

lmao iv been to the us twice and EVERYTHING says "high fructose corn syrup" on the back

something funny that i thought i was the only one to notice

[musclegrab]

u r not alone in that.

our food economy is run for the benefit of Arthur Daniels Midland. They buy the representatives and their integrity is ground up into small pieces, which is then feed to us in soilent green.

[trying58]

Too bad it's never going to happen

[kraigthorne]

AMEN!!!

[WilgMan345]

Early elections in the UK are needed !!!!!

[lordrosemount]

They would have been six months ago, and could probably work at a pinch if called today, but nobody wants a general election in the winter.

[bittergunowner12]

Good job Mr Hannan, wish you were in America.

[kraigthorne]

The Americans wish he was in America also.

[hubbell627]

kraigthorne, you are so right, I wish he was an American.

[lordrosemount]

Sorry, but you can't have all the best people. :P

[MitchofSmeg]

you got the bacon speech man, we got him :p

[bittergunowner12]

I am American, so I know.

[davehardinguk]

Douibt it highly, but the conspiricy theorists might very well bore me to death first !

[EMFM]

Uh, I just said that the West needs more people, not less...

[EMFM]

Who cares?

[rentonsentinel]

Such a charming man, such a devastating argument...

[EMFM]

The West doesn't need depopulation, we have few enough people as it is.

[littlebier8]

Hahaha, no no, quite right, Mr. Hannan. You have not gone soft. Referendum!

[Blackjack555]

Daniel Hannan for PM!

[ronpaulspanish]

HEAR HEAR!

[gavinovz]

He has a great way of saying a lot in such a little amount of time.

[NYBubbamon]

Agreed! The U.S. NEEDS politicians like him!

[Lbfent2]

I want Daniel in the U.S. senate.

[Fiddich123]

You've got Ron Paul

[NYBubbamon]

With all due respect, Ron Paul is a mouse attempting to roar like a lion.

[fruknullarn]

but he doesnt have voters.

[bittergunowner12]

Lies, did you see his presidential campaign? Do you know how many people he attracted?

[emilioTOMASbarca]

david cameron needs to go to the labour party since his policy isnt conservative

hannan be our new prime minister

the isolated people in the conservative party usualy do the conservative thing

remember Winston Churchill? he was just like you .... isolated in the party but it turns out he became one of the if not the greatest PM in our ONCE great nation

[AtheistThatsATheist]

Hannan is great and i must admit that im a massive fan, Ive bought and read his book and im dissappointed not to see it advertised in his description. Its a good book. But you should seriously look at UkIP and Nigel Farage. The pair of them(Nigel & Daniel) Know their stuff when it comes to economics and freedom.

But the conservaties dont offer that. I like to think Dan has enough influence in the Torys but not enough. Check out Europarl. ukipwebmaster and ukipmedia on youtube.

[capierce]

This man is brilliant.

[johnisfun]

Such a shame that he speaks to an empty house.

[arcanekrusader]

He's fuckin' brilliant :D

[NYBubbamon]

Damn straight!

[Eddiefry]

I wish Dan would come to the U.S and school our politicians.

[ForTehNguyen]

If Ron Paul was a Brit

[soundmoneyfan]

The stupid Irish passed the Lisbon Treaty, I guess they are so broke they figured to submit to global governence

[Athenaikos]

Why are the benches so empty? Hannan is a good speaker but his words fall on "non existent" ears?

[Boeing727223]

God I wish he were a yank...I'd vote for him in a heartbeat!

[3martijns]

Great guy, but eu doesn't give a whit what he says.

Before bho got nobel peace prize, the name was changed to 'Kiss Ass Prize'.

[deke76]

Anyone calling Ron Paul a "fruitcake" is clearly an idiot. Thank you for showing us where you are so we can just ignore you.

[PilatusPorterPC6]

deke76, I agree with you 100%.

[elbuggo]

I second that.

[icegryphon]

Mr. Hannan continues to try to use logic on people who don't use any. Keep it up, one day you might make them think.

[Jerricho68]

He is talking to an empty room.

[soundmoneyfan]

The rest of them are busy collecting bribes

[AleXGT7]

If this guy was standing for the UK general election in 2010, I'd vote conservative.

But seeing as there's only the slimy and decieving David Cameron, no thanks.

It seems you have to lose all integrity to get to a place of power.

[happyfred3]

Yeah, but Hague is number 2, you can rely on him, plus there is a good chance that Hannan will be promoted within the Conservative party due to his success in Europe and America

[anarchylogic]

Daniel Hannan seems to be a really smart man, and really seems to care about his country.

In the us we have Ron Paul.

I hope that one day we can all have sound money and low taxes.

Well done Daniel Hannan!!!

[ellhow]

Sorry but ron paul is a fruitcake whereas Daniel Hannan is not.

[Elasaltaculos]

Yeah, that is why Hannan looks up to Ron Paul..... Perhaps Hannan aspires to be a fruitcake too?

[happyfred3]

shhhh

[soundmoneyfan]

Don't talk shit from across the pond about our ONLY man in congress that stands up and speaks out in support of individual liberty. He has his flaws but he is a true statesman and a blessing to our country.

[freedomnow2012]

I love this guy!!!

[BenX74]

Why is nobody in the freakin' parliament?!

Democracy needs a major makeover, it has been around too long so the leeches, criminals and careerists over time have found its weak spots and thus turned the system toxic!

[freedomnow2012]

Cause the Queen said so!!  Now off with your head!! LOL!

[janak19771977]

i have even beter idea lets abolish eu parliment ......with the exeption of few people like mr hannan it is a bunch of lazy criminals

[dogcrapgreen]

representation and taxation...

We here in OBAMAmerica won't be hearing that for awhile

[muchosa1]

Is there ever anyone sitting in the seats?

[chrisy0907]

they are all out spending our money

[Finnbar01]

Here's Dan giving a speech at Denver. part 1.

watch?v=WnskVHFlhWk

[chrisy0907]

thanks mate great vids there

this guy aint gonna amount to anything though, hes going to get nowhere - simply beause hes not a filthy crook like the rest of them

[broeman]

It tells a story that only a few men actually takes their job seriously and not only cashes in on the fortunes of payment (not that the EU parliament is a serious at all, it barely has any influence on the decision making).

[diogeneslaertius666]

they get paid either way, why should they actually work.
