If he truly believes the words he is professing, so be it. Let him speak them. He is doing himself a disservice in the eyes of the vast majority of British electorate... and who are we to stop him?
I reckon he was being lined up for some promotion or other within the party after that absurdly self indulgent speech to the European Parliament a few months back, but this latest outburst has stopped that political momentum dead.
He has shown himself for what he is: a power and attention loving wingnut who values profit and privilege over equality, much like every other Fox News 'journalist' and 'contributor'. Let's hope a few more prominent members of the conservative party follow suit.* We might just keep a semblance of sanity in power come June 2010.
There is no need to 'fire' these people - that is what democracy is for no?
*Kudos to Cameron for stepping up and dismissing this man, however. I was impressed by that. And decidedly unimpressed with Labour immediately attempting to tar the rest of the conservative party with the Hannan brush. Fools.
