Birth of the British Tea Party Movement

In what could be the best possible "Thank You" gift yet for the '60s-'70s British Invasion, some real Americana is heading back to the Old Country. Brighton will be the site of Great Britain's first Tea Party this Saturday 27 February, led by Conservative politician Daniel Hannan.

Labour has raised more than a trillion pounds in additional taxation since 1997. Yet, unbelievably, Gordon Brown has still managed to run up a deficit of 12.6 per cent of GDP (Greece's is 12.7 per cent). A far lower level of taxation brought Americans out in spontaneous protest last year.

If you happen to be coming to the Conservative Spring Conference, do please pop in: the Tea Party is five minutes' walk from the conference venue. [...] Oh, and this being England, we'll be serving actual, you know, tea.

Hats off to you, British cousins! Naturally, coverage of this has been sparse in the American press. But, we'll be watching -- especially to see how the liberal UK press portrays you "teabaggers".
