Brits to throw a Boston tea party in Brighton

By Kerry Picket on Feb. 25, 2010 into Water CoolerSubscribe

Our Founding Fathers would have never thought that over two hundred years later, British subjects would be throwing a "Tea Party" after being inspired by American activists overseas who demanded smaller government from their own policy makers in Washington.

The Freedom Association is sponsoring a tea party event this Saturday in Brighton. Their website gives the following information:

Join DANIEL HANNAN MEP at the Brighton Tea Party at 5.30 p.m. this Saturday 27 February at the Best Western Hotel, 143-145 King's Road, Brighton BN1 2PQ

The event will take place on the Conservative Party Spring Forum fringe, but is outside the secure zone, so all members of the public are very welcome to attend. Admission is free. Tea and other refreshments will be available at a small charge. Cash bar.

The Tea Party Movement in the USA has demonstrated the huge scale of public opposition to excessive taxation. In the UK, tax is much higher and, in addition, British membership of the democratically unaccountable EU raises the issue of "no taxation without representation". From the Boston Tea Party to the Brighton Tea Party, it's time to demonstrate our opposition to excessive taxation.

See you there!

Mr. Hannan is the same MEP who gave the famous tongue lashing to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown last year and became a you tube sensation.

It's a great bit of speech making but, I think it is too late.

Idiocy knows no boundaries.

Idiocy knows no boundaries.

Nor does the desire to be free from over reaching Big Gov.

Tea parties have the right 'idea' but still go about things the wrong way.

You can't stand out there holding hitler/stalin signs expecting people to take you seriously.

You have to actually be rational and speak from the heart on things that matter.

The problem with activists, and they're all the same be it: liberal, conservative, tea party or whatever is they all don't actually know how to debate and instead would rather play the name-calling game. It gets us no where.

Don't get me wrong, some people deserve to be called names, but it really won't ever accomplish anything...

Huh. Maybe they're sick of all the people on the dole. Including religious extremists and they're families.

The only thing the modern tea party shares with the tea party of the past is the name and name only.

The original tea party was to protest taxation without representation. Today's tea party is to protest everything from supposed excessive taxation, to czars in the white house, to Obama being a muslim. In other words, the tea party is mostly a manifestation of conservative frustration.

They still would be rightfully protesting this today....

The other ####### just makes you want to bang your head against a wall though.
