Daniel Hannan MEP
He spoke at a social event last night, right at the end of Reboot Britain, though the event was technically unrelated to Reboot. Mr Hannan is now well known for his speech to the European Parliament, which was picked up by Fox News. I recorded his informal speech via Qik:

Reboot Britain
Some thoughts and random quotes from the day: Watching Gillian Tett from the FT explain the background of the problems with derivatives that led to the current financial mess.
