Hannan is a bit wild on many issues, but Mark is right, wasn’t this government policy a while back? Electing sheriffs sounds a fairly good idea to me.

Totally disagree with Hannan on the NHS – unlike him, I can’t afford to go private.

I suppose he demonstrates the advantage of the intervention system in the House of Commons so someone can be challenged as to the accuracy of their statements. His youtube in the European Parliament about Brown was high on the colander scale of arguments with lots of factual holes in them.

Not that I am in any way a fan of the government, but at least criticism should be based in truth rather than imagination.
