What a charmer. Don't fool yourself that he's a loose cannon or the last hurrah of the buffers: he's young and a rising star, a new generation of the mean-spirited, racist, Thatcherite men in sharp suits who caused the 1980s. Behind Cameron's devious, plummy niceness, there are sharp teeth and dangerous views.

Tories = scum (reprise)
Like a one-man demolition crew hellbent on knocking down Cameron's house of lovely cards, Daniel Hannan comes out with another gem. Not content with treating Europe like a leper colony (he's an MEP) and describing the NHS as a 60-year disaster, he's announced that his political hero is Enoch Powell, the Wolverhampton MP who prophesied 'rivers of blood' if immigration wasn't halted, before leaving the Tories to become an Ulster Unionist MP - presumably immigration's fine as long as it's British people invading others people's countries.

Not sure how you can directly associate Cameron with him at the end there - Cameron criticised him directly re. his NHS comments.
However, yes, he is a Tory shit. When he did his silly little attack on Brown I was hoping that would be his 15 minutes of fame, but he's lingering around still sadly.
Simple. Hannan is a Conservative Party MEP and David Cameron is his Party Leader. If Cameron won't remove the whip, as he has done for less offensive behaviour, it looks like he either approves, or he's too weak to sack him.
Under the cuddly exterior, Cameron's merged the Northern Ireland Tories with the Ulster Unionists, who believe that homosexuality leads directly to hell, that minorities don't have rights, that Catholicism is actually evil. He's also left the centre-right European party grouping to form a new one with unrepentant fascists - so this must be his real political vision.
