The internet has changed politics - changed it utterly and forever. Twenty-four hours ago, I made a three-minute speech in the European Parliament, aimed at Gordon Brown. I tipped off the BBC and some of the newspaper correspondents but, unsurprisingly, they ignored me: I am, after all, simply a backbench MEP.
I am being facetious. Seriously, though with all the spending that is going on I wonder if the US congress and the Senate had debaters like this would it be so easy to fire out Porkulous bill after porkulous bill.
