Looks Like Two Loudmouths Just Talked Themselves Out of Their Jobs!

Why can't WE have politicians this principled?

Here's Daniel Hannan, a Tory and one of the UK's members of the European Parliament practically asking to get fired.


Nigel Farage and his UKIP party achieved their stated goal. 


As they were obviously something of a single issue party, the UKIP's  days are almost certainly numbered...unless they can somehow diversify their message as has been proposed in some quarters....


...but they don't actually dislike Poles and advances in VR technology will soon take care of the rest, so it looks like they're done.

Well done! 

Hannan and Farage have more extensive thoughts on why the EU was bad for the UK below the fold.


Hannan on trade...


Farage on security...


and the Danegeld

1 Well, the Portuguese did a brisk trade in Japanese women in the 16th century, so "a waifu in every pot" isn't a completely absurd idea. But they should be sure to send the yanderes to Brussels.
