Mr. Hannan also penned a wonderful piece for The Telegraph.

From The Telegraph article:
Thomas Jefferson, whose bust stares at me as I write this blog, had wanted to include a touching phrase in the Declaration, but his fellow authors excised it: “We might have been a great and free people together”. Indeed. Everything I have done in politics has been an attempt to apply Jeffersonian principles to British political conditions. Decisions should be taken as closely as possible to those they affect, and decision-makers made accountable through the ballot box. Everything else – autonomous local councils, referendums, recall procedures, tax cuts, withdrawal from the EU, elected sheriffs, the Great Repeal Bill – follows from those two simple precepts.
It is time to bring back to the mother country the ideology that inspiredthe most sublime constitution devised by human intelligence. It is time, in short, to repatriate our revolution.
We'd like to wish all our followers in the USA a very happy 4th of July!

Even a royal parody account got in on the action.
Mr Clegg on the phone. Had to reassure him that Independence Day is a film and that aliens aren't attacking earth. He seemed to calm down.

With so many around the world still consigned to tyranny, today we appreciate the blessing of liberty & are thankful that we are Americans.
