If you wish to characterise me in this way, that is your prerogative. Also if you wish to make sweeping assertions without access to all of the facts, that is also your prerogative.

Ashton is in Cairo today meeting the Arab League and intervening (on behalf of the EU) in respect of the illegal building going on in Palestine at the moment.

You would want to be a fool not to acknowledge that Ashton speaks intelligently and effectively. Listen to the video. She's way ahead of...

Unless you have an analytical mind, there's nothing to be gained by researching something for ten years. If you'll forgive me for saying so, you don't strike me as the type of person who graduated from LSE with a double first degree. You sound more like one of those "university of life" people wh...

Yes, at least Hague is well educated. Farage, on the other hand, is just an orator who speaks first in staccato-like bursts without engaging his mind. He's a sad reflection of a darker underbelly of British society.

At least Van Rompuy made it to Prime MInister of Belgium. Farage and Hannan have never even held ministerial office in their country. Really rich of them to criticise Van Rompuy when neither of the two of them have attained high office. Unless you count leadership of UKIP as high office (which o...

Perhaps it's time you started to learn French. You're like an ostrich with your head in the sand. Perhaps if you learned a foreign language, you would have a meaningful job (as opposed to the current state you find yourself in). A knowledge of French might open up a position as a trader in a Pari...

Farage made a huge mistake in resorting to personal insults against Van Rompuy. Either demolish your opponent using intelligent arguments or say nothing. Farage appeared on Question Time a couple of days after this tirade and no one on the panel or in the audience supported his insulting outburs...

I decided not to check your alleged Mandelson quote. Mainly because the newpaper is called the "Daily Mail" and not "Dailymail'. And Mandelson is much to elegant in his use of English to resort to a phrase such as "too dull and too dim to succeed". Much more like something you would invent. So,...

I would have thought that this is English "humour" (if you can affix such a descriptions to Farage's dry little joke). So it's English humour about the EU. Nut "EU" humour. The Europeans have a far more sophisticated notion of what constitutes "humour" than the dry Mr. Hannan.

And low airfares, a cohesive road transport network and much greater equality in payments levels as between men and women are just some of the advantages of EU membership. But you're probably a man, in any event. So, please, spare us your "off the top of the head" critiques of the EU. You're not ...

I hate people who insult Andrew Neil's hair. Both he and Donal Trump share the same amazing hairdresser. Give them both a break. If they want to wear hairpieces, that is their prerogative.

Yes, in recent weeks, there has been a huge groundswell of opinion in favour of the Lisbon Treaty.

I've just been watching "Athens Tonight", a Grrek current affairs show. They've published the results of a mini referendum (they polled 20,000 people) on the Lisbon Treaty. Over 68% of the respon...

Yeah, right. Glad you went to the trouble of reading my page. I didn't bother to read yours. Sorry about that.

"PM material, no doubt about it". Perhaps you could explain to us what exactly constitutes "PM material". Is this something that Hannan shares with both Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. Or is your phrase "PM material" limited to Hannan, Margaret Thatcher and John Major? Interested to hear the answer....

It will be interesting to see how Monsieur Farage fares against John Bercow in the General Election.

In the end, 66% of the Irish electorate voted in favour of the Lisbon Treaty. Klaus signed the Treaty. And Cameron reneged on his promise to hold another referendum on Lisbon (if the Tories were to win the upcoming General Election).

Dan Hannan foolishly stated of Cameron "There's clearly a pr...

You probably read Hannan's book as well. Your comment is just so intelligent and perceptive, there's no way you could not have read Hannan's book.

Yeah, you tell 'em, Elberiver. Opt for the simplistic solution. Of course, the chances of Farage being Prime Minister are zilch. So put that in your krugelhorn and smoke it, my friend. And take out your mittelgutzen and stuff it up your pflugenscheissen.

In the end, UKIP will finish fourth overall in the General Election. The reality being that the British people are not obsessed with British membership of the EU. Otherwise, they would be voting UKIP into power in the next election. But, obviously, this will not happen.

@neo58421964 The interviewer is paid to ask searching questions. He is not simply some 'Yes' man who should allow the person he ois interviewing to have an easy ride. But perhaps you think interviewers are only there to lick Nigel Farage's ar*e. If that's what you believe, then you are even sadde...

The same way he told the electorate that David Cameron would hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty if the Conservatives win the general election. And what happened? David Cameron said he would not hold a referendum. Sadly, Daniel Hannan is a poor judge of character. Some would say that you need ...

David Cameron does not care what you think.

If Britons really cared about this issue, they would elect UKIP to power in the next Westminster election. The reality is that most Britons have more pressing concerns to worry them. Which is why UKIP will finish fourth overall in the next Westminster Election (thankfully). Farage and Hannan make...

Yes, but only about eight people in Parliament applauded that speech.

And Hannan is obviously not a lawyer. Because, if he were, he would realise that, effectively the Council of Ministers (comprising representatives of the Member States) has a major role to play in the law-making process. The C...
