Since I discovered Hillsdale College in this medium I have never been disappointed by any of your guest speakers. This delivery from Mr Daniel Hannan MEP - at the time - was magnificent oratory of a calibre rarely encountered in these benighted times; reminiscent of the time when English speaking politicians were masters both of our language and of the respective histories of the English speaking nations. Thank you for a discussion both informative and inspiring.

The people who took the UK's A Level exams are now running the country. Over the next 16 years the Conservatives want to lift the retirement age to 75, even though the life span figure has dropped and will carry on doing as the Spreadsheet life we are all expected to live by, takes its full effect. We are ready now for Robots as the system has no time for sleep, holidays or the weather. Sleep time and holidays are under threat constantly, and soon the Bill of human rights will end up in the bin to aid the Ideology. In the Uk the votings system is corrupt to the point we need a new box on all forms with none of the above written beside it. If you have a voice they don't like you won't even get on the first list, and it's easy to have a voice they don't like. This handpicking of candidates has resulted in a remain leaning Parliament as planned. Eight years later than this video and some say we left on the 31st March according to Common Law, and they are being denied a fair day in court to put their case, suffering sneaky behaviour by the Judges on the Remain Government's behalf. At no point have we seen Mr Hannan aiding this project in anyway whatsoever, yet he says he wants to leave. In comparison any Legal attempts to delay the process, have been hurriedly assigned a court date. Today I read the Commencement document has been signed which tells the EU we are leaving, this may have been forced on them, as a new court date looms for the group who say "Hello, we've already left". Here's hoping they have their day in court and Common law wins, and we can escape the nightmare they call the EU and settle down with the nightmare we call the Milk Snatching, Poll Taxing, Bank favouring Robbing Bastard Remain Conservatives, until the next election when there isn't a leader of any EX remaining party, that anyone would vote for, if there was another choice. For 45 years the whole political system has been a facade, they've all been on Gardening Leave whilst the EU has infiltrated our State System and took over our everyday life. Now none have the training to run a country, they were expecting to be Full time employees of the EU very shortly, and the idea of Democracy would be resigned to History, the writing of which they have become expert at. One of the 9000 unelected Remain Civil servants, says he'll have to leave the country if we ever leave, as then we will find out what he's been doing with the EU since the vote to leave, behind the countries back, sounds like Treason, a law Blair and Heath should have been tried under. As being a member dictates you aren't allowed the assets to be able to think about starting out as a new country once again, such as not enough to start a bank again. It's a one way street deal. So my countries assets have been sold off to all and sundry, and bit by bit so as not to cause alarm, and the profit from these sales has been used to line their pockets. Also our Gold stocks have been reduced from 1600 tons to 300 during the 45 years and would no doubt be reduced to zero, as you don't give a purse away or a country whilst it's full of money. Starting out in such a position is dangerous as the policy had hoped, the thought they hoped, would put us off leaving, the longer we were members, it's been a game of praying for time, as they drain away our wealth in readiness for the big day, when everyone is skint enough to join, and I don't mean paper money. The people can't be in a position to have a choice, is the goal. For many we are at that point, now. Debt is now 100% of GDP, at 2T, add in all the other debts and it's probably 300/400%. It will be roughly the same in Italy and Portugal and .... When we joined Debt to GDP was at 53% and rose like Al Gore's Climate Hockey stick shortly after, to the level its at today, with only a short blip when the Labour Party had the seat. It's now at a level you could never imagine being able to pay back, whilst your manufacturing base was demolished as part of your membership, along with your Fishing Industry. Lets do the sums of what we've got left, no assets left 0£, 300 tons of gold, £9,900,000,000. We can only Blame one set of people because we never voted to go in, it was their decision to take us in and keep us in and lie about it. The road ahead would be paved in Gold one MP told us, in reality they have been living a lie for over 45 years, praying for time as they dismantle Common law in readiness for the EU rule book, and demolish the Democratic system, the deceit involved is unmeasurable, but it all might hit the fan soon.

Many concepts & institutions that the British supposedly "invented" were either reverse-engineered from the Catholic Church university system (the same university system of today, which it did invent, and is also the reason why any European can write in his respective language in the first place) or the Renaissance & Enlightenment, which ultimately blossomed out of the Church-preserved influence of Greco-Roman antiquity. Britain may have one the best modern Naval forces the world has ever seen and has played an important role in putting freedom & education into action while making them widely accessible, but it did not invent the concepts of human-international rights or the foundations of science or economy, it just re-branded them and made them relevant to it's own time period. Even America's Founding Fathers acknowledge the many influences throughout circular history that would shape the Constitution & the Declaration of Independence, such as Cyrus The Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Roman Republic, John Locke; ect. A plurality of accredited historians would consider them "the last of the Romans". These ideals just weren't accessible to a large part of the population before the Renaissance, because Europe was in an extreme state of barbarism and backwardness, thus precipitating the need for a martial law mentality before the early Modern Period of the 16th century. Even then, the spirit of the American Republic is the true symbol of Providence, civic virtue, accountability, freedom and laissez-faire that considers both labor contracts and private enterprise (not the Keynesian Anglo-American welfare-warfare police state that promotes prosperity, yet is in a trillion dollars of debt, condones the genocide of middle eastern non-Jewish Semitic civilians (many of whom are Christian) who are no match for American military technology, doesn't even have it's own production-manufacturing sectors, loans out it's own taxpayer dollar at interest, re-directs tax cuts to frivolous war and is really a puppet entity controlled by a global financial bureaucracy, which are the true illegal immigrants who produce nothing), if it wasn't, then there would've been no reason for America to free itself (which it was able to do, because the French & Spanish military defeated the British) from the Protestant doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings and the centralized bureaucracy that plagued(s) Britain. Furthermore, the French, Spanish & Portuguese did not settle the Americas in mass hoards like the Germans & Scots-Irish (Anglo-Americans are actually a minority) and they eventually would garner more interest in selling land if they could, rather than cultivating what was already a terrain not arable to the degree that North America is, even though Cuba and Argentina were on there way to becoming economic juggernauts until Marxist influences permeated those nation, which is a violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The identity of Britain has nothing to do with biology. It has to with influence, regional location, resources and the specific time period. Sound money philosophies that give economics a well-adjusted scope of perception, yet keep economics as a whole in perspective, such as laissez-faire & Austrian economics, clearly originated in Continental Europe.

[@RitchLouis2]

The curious thing is just how few Americans seem to be aware of the fact that the ideas that drove the Founding Fathers had their roots in the English and Scottish Enlightenment. The Fathers had fought for the rights that they as Englishmen had ALWAYS regarded as their birthright and it was for this reason they challenged the British Government of the day. I reckon the rot started to set in as the American story became transmogrified into an Irish Catholic one.

43:08 “anyone who disagrees with me must be an apologist for ” is also a very ideological argument that American conservatives use against liberals/leftists by lumping them with Stalin or Mao. I agree, it is a dangerous thing when people think they’re the owners of the whole truth and the sole truth of the world.

8 years later and the EU is still stronger wealthier and healthier than the USA....

You say that there is separation from the governing bodies and the people and that the people need to stand up and vote, because they understand what is going on, yet you say in the end we need our elected officials to vote for the common good. In this day and age, with all the technology, the individual can vote directly. Obviously debt/interest is abusive, as Christ said. Given the chance, a vote for equal resource distribution to support life would be the vote. This is the only choice.

Being the pedant I am, at 21:20 he calls the founding fathers is the US patriots, but how can you be a patriot when you are rebelling and seceding from your country? If he was an American I'd understand it but he isn't, he is literally from the country they rebelled against, and he calls them patriots, can someone please send the man a dictionary with the proper definition? And example is: " a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors."

[@pretorious700]

Yeah, they're completely fooled also.

He thinks economists are cranks. Computer geeks make witch doctors look like Karl Popper. They’re also stubborn like mules

I love the awkward moments when Americans try and bring religion into an objective talk of any kind. Luckily the speaker has the skill (and tact) to bat the comments away without seeming like he is.

Again, we ought to reckon not only the evils from which the citizens will be saved but also the advantages which they will lose. Aristotle; Politics; Book II. Section 5 “Such legislation may have a specious appearance of benevolence; men readily believe to it, and are easily induced to believe that in some wonderful manner everybody will become everybody’s friend--especially when someone is heard denouncing the evils now existing in states, suits about contracts, convictions for perjury, flatteries of rich men and the like, which are said to arise out of the possession of private property. There evils, however, are not to the absence of communism but to wickedness. Indeed, we see there is much quarreling among those who have all things in common, though there are not as many of these when compared with the vast numbers who have private property. Aristotle; Politics; Book II. Section 5.

There never was a free market and constitutional freedoms were always, at best, unevenly applied. This is edenic historical revisionism. The Founding Father's never lived up to their own promises. The small farmers, craftsmen, artisans, whites, blacks, Native Americans, freedmen and slaves that fought the battles for the 'aristocratic' Washington did not receive their fair share after their War of Independence. James Warren was shocked by Samuel Adams, who had been one of the most radical voices in a revolution whose rallying cry had been "No taxation without representation." when he called for the hanging deaths of Shay rebels from Massachusetts, who were protesting the state's unrepresentative levy of high taxes (to pay for the debts of rich merchants) The rebels were freeing small farmers who were being put in prison for being unable to pay these taxes! American ideology is truly a joke made to buffet the sane with idealizations by people that clearly don't understand their own history. "Rebellion against a king may be pardoned but the man who dares to rebel against the laws of a republic ought to suffer death." - Sam. Adams Bullshit. Washington was a king; same as George III was a king working for the British merchant class who, at the slightest hint of their own displeasure, could organize his exit just like they did with Charles I.

The British people woke up and despite project fear and 24/7 propaganda we voted for freedom outside the EU.
