The British Tea Party (presenting the Palin-O-Meter)
With the Tory lunatic fringe right launching a British version of America’s Tea Party movement at Conservative Spring Conference this Saturday, Sunder Katwala writes at Next Left:
And so the battle to be Britain’s Sarah Palin is joined in earnest, with Hannan moving decisively to rein in the early lead taken by The Spectator’s Fraser Nelson and ConservativeHome’s Tim Montgomerie.
Might it be time for a British Palinwatch on the political blogosphere to help keep score?
Taking “keeping score” more literally than Sunder intended, Scrapbook is proud to present the Palin-O-Meter! Significant articles, events and other developments related to our anti-tax revolutionaries will be given a rating on a scale up to ten, with the expression of Wasilla’s favourite daughter reflecting her view on the latest news.
Hannan et al are kitting up to do battle with the Cameroons?
Sarah gives this a 9.3!

I’m confused. The Tea Party movement is named after the Boston Tea Party, a notorious demonstration against Britain.
Why does Hannan hate our country?

They’re not called the stupid party for nowt.

Hannan lives on a different planet, privatising elephants is his new game.

Hannan’s just trying to topple George III. He’ll catch up with 21st century politics in his own time.

Please please please let us have lots more Hannan on the telly between now and the general election. He could single-handedly win it for Labour.

ROFL Scaryduck! It all fits in with Cameron’s silly “Broken Britain” campaign, where he stands on a stage and hectors Britain telling us that we are really, really rubbish, and then he asks us to vote for him!
