The further left you are, the more your concern for the underdog crowds out everything else, leading you to overlook inconsistencies. You might, for example, argue for immigration and multiculturalism in the UK, but not in the Amazon. You might demand equality before the law and, at the same time, gender quotas.

Daniel Hannan

I just think there is so much irrational pessimism in the world.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Political reporters no longer get to decide what's news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day's headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you're news.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

You cannot carry on forever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgement of the unproductive bit.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The truth, Prime Minister, is that you have run out of our money. The country as a whole is now in negative equity. Every British child is born owing around 20,000 pounds. Servicing the interest on that debt is going to cost more than educating the child.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The U.S. states that allow for citizens' initiatives tend to have fewer laws and lower taxes than the ones that don't. But the beauty of the system is that it encourages the spread of best practice.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The 'EU in a Nutshell' is a miscellany of facts and anecdotes about the system which rules us. It's a book you can delve into in pursuit of a particular fact, or crack open for entertainment at virtually any page.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The statistics might have a Eurosceptic cast, but they are not exactly a fun read. Few of us want to wade through ONS graphs or European Commission tables.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The idea seems to be to use the next treaty talks to strike a grand bargain: Britain will be helpful to those states wishing to establish a fiscal union among themselves if, in exchange, we can amicably derogate from the aspects of the EU which we dislike.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

New fathers, political prisoners, traumatised presidential aides, resolute schoolboys, MEPs addressing unfriendly chambers - we all find that Shakespeare has magically anticipated our precise circumstances. How he was possible, I still don't understand; but there isn't a day I'm not grateful that he speaks to me in my own language.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

I am not the Conservative Party's health care spokesman. I'm fond of Andrew Lansley, and I strongly support David Cameron as party leader.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Every human on the planet is descended from both slaves and slave owners. What makes Britain unusual is not that we engaged in the disgusting trade, but that we eliminated it. Our political institutions led us, earlier than many, to the conclusion that freedom was the highest virtue.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

After Margaret Thatcher's funeral, I spoke at a tribute meeting organised by her supporters in a pub next to St Paul's.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

That's the problem with very high taxes - they don't redistribute wealth; they redistribute people.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

One way to think of the tax system is as a massive Swiss cheese. Each hole is an exemption created by a chancellor in pursuit of good headlines - a hole waiting to be filled by the clever accountants who work for Starbucks or Jimmy Carr.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

European pantywaists might keep voting for high-spending governments, but the U.S. was founded on a popular revolt against taxation.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The Tea Party movement and the Occupy movement were both, in a sense, complaining about the same thing, namely the use of public money to rescue failed banks.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

I am, 'Guardian' readers keep telling me, a xenophobe. Never mind that I speak French and Spanish, that I love Europe, that I've lived a high proportion of my life abroad. The fact that I oppose the political amalgamation of the European Union's states is ipso facto proof that I dislike foreigners.

Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

I've absolutely no idea where Culoiseau is, but I'd imagine La Poularde de Culoiseau is some kind of chicken.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

A minister is supposed to be there to remind his permanent officials that they work for the rest of us. If, instead, he becomes the cabinet champion and public spokesman for his department, democracy is vitiated.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Nobody likes a smart alec. Which is why it's always better for your career to be wrong and in company rather than right and on your own.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The 'Robben Island Bible' has arrived at the British Museum. It's a garish thing, its cover plastered with pink and gold Hindu images, designed to hide its contents. Within is the finest collection of words generated by human intelligence: the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

When you repeat, in that wooden and perfunctory way, that our situation is better than others, that we're 'well-placed to weather the storm', I have to tell you that you sound like a Brezhnev-era apparatchik giving the party line.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Prime Minister, I see you've already mastered the essential craft of the European politician, namely, the ability to say one thing in this chamber and a very different thing to your home electorate.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

A trillion here, a trillion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Whenever the debate moves on to hard numbers - our deficit with Europe, our surplus with the rest of the world, our Brussels budget contributions, the tiny part of our economy dependent on sales to the EU, the vast part subjected to EU regulation - Euro-enthusiasts quickly shift their ground and start harrumphing about influence.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Most British people are keen to remain in a European free trade zone; and most EU states are keen to keep us there, because we buy from them more than we sell to them to the tune of £40 million per day.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The anti-apartheid prisoners on the island, like so many in every age and nation, found that Shakespeare had a peculiar ability to gentle their condition. They used to gather clandestinely to read the plays; on one occasion, the book was passed around for each man to mark his favourite lines.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

On any measure, Spain's bank rescue has been a disaster. A hundred million euros have been added to the national debt, ten-year bonds are at a record high and the country's credit rating has been downgraded three notches.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

There comes a point when threats become so overblown that they serve to irk rather than to frighten.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Progressives and conservatives alike lean, unconsciously, towards particular conclusions, and then scrabble around to rationalise those conclusions to themselves.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The fact that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves doesn't devalue what he wrote.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Foreign writers - especially Germans - often feel that Shakespeare is really one of them, that he was somehow accidentally born in the wrong country. In much the same way, leftists sense in their bones that he was a radical, rightists that he was a Tory.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The complexity of a tax system is every bit as damaging to competitiveness as the overall tax rate. The more convoluted the tax code becomes, the more time we have to take off work to comply with it.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

Conservatives the world over need to grasp the difference between being pro-market and being pro-business. Sometimes the two positions happen to coincide; often they don't.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

It's not often one gets the chance to write this but, when it comes to the bailouts, especially the euro bailouts, Marxists are right. Working people are being forced to support a privileged few.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

In my experience, Eurosceptics are likelier to have lived abroad and to have entered fully into other cultures than Euro-enthusiasts, many of whom seem to have latched on to the E.U. as a way of compensating for their poor language skills.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

The populists always fail in their own terms. Let me be more specific, the protectionists always fail. They always end up delivering the sharpest fall in living standards to the people who are their biggest supporters.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

There is sort of a hobbit-like element to a lot of British people. They don't want to be told something until they have worked it out for themselves.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

I'm going to devote myself full time to securing and then winning a referendum on leaving the E.U.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

I think public life for me has a slightly didactic role, OK.

Daniel Hannan


Free Status Quote By - Daniel Hannan

It's irresponsible to scare E.U. nationals in the U.K. by hinting that their status might change after Brexit.
