The inaugural British Tea Party will take place on Saturday in my home town of Brighton, and I’ll be speaking. Do try to come: here are the details.
Labour has raised more than a trillion pounds in additional taxation since 1997. Yet, unbelievably, Gordon Brown has still managed to run up a deficit of 12.6 per cent of GDP (Greece’s is 12.7 per cent). A far lower level of taxation brought Americans out in spontaneous protest last year.
If you happen to be coming to the Conservative Spring Conference, do please pop in: the Tea Party is five minutes’ walk from the conference venue. It is, however, outside the security zone, and anyone is welcome to come. Oh, and this being England, we’ll be serving actual, you know, tea. I hope to see some of this blog’s readers there.
Do you think they will be called racists too?

You’d think the Brits would find a better name for a 3rd Party than the symbol of American Independence and rejection of British rule.
Why a Tea Party though? Cameron is already expected to sweep the Conservatives into power come next election. Why not just work the new Conservative government from the inside instead of forming a bloc of voters that would be detrimental to Government in general, regardless of party?
