The post you are reporting:
Your mind works a very strange way, Sid.
The EU is a monster out of control and MEP's like Dan who are responsibly sceptical and do not go native, seduced by the gravy train, are worth their weight in gold. He has been at the forefront in exposing bad practices in the EU and exposing abuses. That, Bern, is what makes an excellent MEP. The EU is a controversial organisation in itself, unlike your example of KCC Sid, so there can be no comparison. Dan represents a majority sceptic view of the EU in the UK. A survey recently had 55% in favour of getting out.....
Leave it to the electorate Sid, it is a supreme arrogance to suggest to the electorate that they should only elect pro EU MEPs.
Incidentally
This is the Spectator's take on Dan's speech. It is certainly causing a remarkable impact given the little attention the broadcast news have given it.
""""Dan Hannan's speech yesterday was magnificent, in three and a half minutes he absolutely eviscerated Gordon Brown. Unsurprisingly, the speech received little attention on the broadcast news—Tory MEP attacks Labour Prime Minister is a dog bites man story.
But the speech has already has more than twenty-five thousand views on YouTube, Downing Street's video of Brown's address has had only 219 views.""""
