Mr Hannan is a Member of the European Parliament with, strange though it may seem, a devoted following in the United States. Since a speech of his, attacking Gordon Brown, “went viral” (an internet term, meaning that a link to it was passed from one web user to another until millions had seen it), Mr Hannan has been invited on American chat shows. He has been provided with the opportunity to express his opinion on almost anything, and, being in possession of a wide range of strong opinions, Mr Hannan has duly proferred them.
