Wise words.

A lot of people are commenting on a recent speech by Tory MEP Daniel Hannon in the European Parliament at Strasbourg where he takes Gordon Brown to task not so much for failing to accept any responsibility for his part in our present straightened circumstances, as for carrying on regardless once the seriousness of the situation became clear. If you ignore the party political dig at the end, it's a dispassionate and well put together speech which deserves to be listened to. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the BBC do not appear to have considered it worthy of airtime, so you'll have to go to Sky News or the internet to see it - and I suggest it's well worth doing.
