I'm not a Tory supporter, but William Hague is absolutely hilarious. What a legend. It's like he's delivering a monologue from a Shakespearean play. XD XD
Renegade Shep loves his M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon Yes it is. An even better one from the OP given that William Hague is extremely pretentious and not a lyrical genius or even anywhere close.
@@donbarzinitut He didn't make an assumption. His point was a simile based on personal thoughts. And that's fine, because actors tend to have different styles.

I'm an American and have watched this clips dozens+ of times because of the sheer entertainment value I get out of it. Not to mention its a chance for me to see a real skilled, savvy political leader not like the clowns we have in this country.
@@RGiacobbe Ah, I meant it more specifically to the Blair/Brown pact but I am watching the full speech and I am beginning to understand it is about the Lisbon Treaty of 2009 (Right? Brown was late to sign it.). I barely understand the E.U.
Hi Paul, It's not "on the newfuss" but "on manoeuvres", which ordinarily refers to military activities in preparation for battle. In this context, it mocks Blair's recent actions and words as being soley for the purpose of securing the position of EU president. Hope that helps. :)
William Hague came too early. He would have made a far better Prime Minister than Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I am a Labour member. He was Eurosceptic yes but in the early days of May post Brexit vote he advised pragmatism not daft dog whistle politics: a very shrewd guy.
He is still to this day one of the last true Tory Eurosceptics as Thatcher in her day- Halt expansion, excercise the great influence of the UK within its precipes to move the conversation and balance of power to a stable and apt economic union instead of a political one by winning over smaller states to your side. They most all understand the de facto nature of which huge markets control one's economy by force instead of agreement without first having influence in it. However in a world hurdling towards "America First above all others, China First, Japan First, etc." policies of protectionism where free trade agreements newly formed are tailor-made by the bigger party for itself including America, its also been understood among them giving up all that influence and advantage on the world stage BY FUCKING LEAVING THE DARNED THING... IS MAJORLY FUCKING RETARDED! YOURE SIGNING YOURSELVES OVER FROM A COUNCIL YOU HOLD THE 2ND BIGGEST POWER IN STRAIGHT TO THE GLOBALIST ELITES OF WHICH YOU CAN NOT HOPE TO ASCERTAIN! COME ON!
This is absolute classic stuff...love it! I wouldn't change the comedy of scenes like this and PMQs for anything...it's the most interesting part of British politics. How can all you stick in the muds have a go at the house for laughing and making light? We get to see that they are human beings and although there are serious problems to be dealt with, it does not always have to be doom and gloom! Bravo! Encore! William Hague is a legend!
@@thehotwombat The speech literally makes the point that Brown is woefully ignorant the opinion of Europe unlike browns labour not only reveres Blair as a statesmen, but would be more than excited to nominated him for the EU presidency without caring about Browns insecurities about his own legacy
Thanks for your comment. This video was posted some time ago, back when UA-cam was young. I've updated the tags and description to hopefully make searching easier.
anyone know where the video of Hague on Madleson - referring to him as an Arch bishop or something similar? ... that video has disappeared from UA-cam! ..... so damn funny
@smoochym I think a small amount of inefficiency is a fair price to pay for a decent standard of universal healthcare. Turning healthcare into a free market would almost certainly lower the level of healthcare available to those with less money, pricing some people out of it completely (as in the US). Countries such as Sweden and Norway have very high levels of tax and very strong economies, encorporating both state ownership of certain sectors and private enterprise within the free market.
William is without a doubt the most competent orator in Parliament since he was elected - his place in history will be viewed for both his errudity & his wit even The Milliepied was unable to avoid joining in without having to reach for the little bag of soil around his neck or avoiding the sunlight! I know of no other video where his metronomic persona failed save perhaps amongst his neophites which thankfully I have been spared - This brings meaning to the bloodless coupe Prudence can expect!
Hague is a brilliant man. He is funny but has the political knowledge and ability to back it up. A wonderful speaker, he truly is a treasure of the Conservative party.
There is currently a legal challenge in action at the moment in the Hight court, to test the legality of the refusal to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, as it is identical to The failed EU constitution, I hope it succeeds! You are right on the money on this issue, Jenny.
Hospitals are not places to have "good times." All I expect is competent doctors, and I've had a couple of bad ones, and my aunt, at the same hospital in Chertsey, where they wrecked her leg. Luckily I had the inelligence to take myself to a better hospital. The NHS is going to eventually hit the buffers thanks to Labour's PFI. These PFI companies are a virtual black hole to state funding, eg. the will often charge the NHS £200 or more just to change a fluorescent tube.
No UK even has a unfair rebate that Thatcher demanded. If the UK leaves the EU not much will happen - for the EU at least. The EU (EC) was founded without it and it will manage if it leaves again. But, with leaving the EU the UK will also leave the Free Trade and Tariffs area. Good luck to renegotiate one.
Bully for Hague, his candor and eloquence give one hope for the Tories return to power - especially if Mister Brown is the best Labour can manage. Of course I am rather biased, I've been a fan of his since his Foreign Land speech back in 2001.
Iam a Scottish nationalist and even i am a huge fan of William Hague,his oratory skills are unmatched in modern politics.A true political heavyweight,he would put to shame the shower of numpties that we have elected here in Scotland.
Hold on. It HAS been better only in a material sense, because people have been encouraged to take out ridiculous levels of credit, by both the Thatcher and Major Tory governments, and also by the Blair/ Brown ones, but the latter is far worse. Living standards now are below those I remember from the 80's, and people are a lot less happy. Fuel prices higher, rents higher, alcohol higher, public transport costs through the roof. And that's under Labour!
I would be more than happy if we had a permanent president of Europe. Our society would be neither more nor less democratic than it is now. But William Hague is amazing!
The EAW is from the same folk who planned the EU Court of Justice (Eorojust), the EU police force (Europol) and in a few years the EU military ! "long term plans include the forming of a EU Army" ( German Foreign Minister,Frank-Walter Steinmeier speaking in Munich 2007 at an Allianz lecture). This is another of his quotes from the same lecture : "The era of small nations has passed". The EU Charter of Rights does not include the right to vote. Perhaps they forgot. Remind them in June.
@smoochym The inefficiency of the NHS is always greatly exaggerated by its opponents, it's not perfect by any means and perhaps would benefit from outsourcing some work to private organisations, but it still far outperforms the vast majority of health services in other countries in the world. In countries like France and Germany, the healthcare differs from the UK only in how it is provided, not from the premise of universal healthcare through the redistribution of wealth by taxation.
Sadly, they will find a way to reverse Ireland's decision, or perhaps use it as an excuse to exclude Ireland's membership of the EU. The only way is for Britain to leave the EU altogether. Iceland and Norway aren't EU members, but they have the same trading rights as us, but aren't paying £35,000 an hour to be a member!
I wish UA-cam still had the video of Hague's speech for the Dissolution of Parliament. I think it was even better than this one as far as his oratory skills go.
One of the most perfectly crafted moments in Parliamentary debate.
The best part is watching the Labour politicians crack up.
Hilariously it was only Blairites laughing so far because they knew better than anyone how terrified and tragically insecure Brown was of being overtaken in reputation once again by his fabled rival Mr. Blair
Undeniably one of Hague's most brilliant moments.
It will be a huge loss to British politics to not have William Hague in the next parliament. What a great politician!
I love how even the Labour benches are creasing in laughter. Hague is a master of speeches.
The best prime minister we never had.
i beg your pardon
I'm not a Tory supporter, but William Hague is absolutely hilarious. What a legend. It's like he's delivering a monologue from a Shakespearean play. XD XD

William Hague is such a boss... probably the only politician I like to be honest...
Hague's biting humor and his masterful oratory skills in full display.....
as much as I despise the tories and everything this guy stands for, William Hague nails this joke so hard, great speaker & parliamentarian
This is one of the best parliamentary speeches of modern times. Absolute gold dust. Bravo William!
I’m not into politics but this speech is hilarious I’ve watched it dozens of times, very well delivered.
A fine actor you are Mr Hague
I'm a pro European but this speech is priceless!
I would love to see Browns face if this happened...
I'm pro-Europe as hell but this is straight up hilarious.
this is taking badassery to ninja levels.

Of course I do. I’m also an Italian citizen so painfully aware of the machinations of the EU and the European Parliament.

Quite quite brilliant. Perhaps our greatest parliamentary orator of modern times.To write it is one thing. To deliver it like this is something more.
Fantastic. The best orator the house has ever seen.

Master at work . All about the timing.
William Hague total legend, blair and brown two tragic cases
That was very funny and alarmingly realistic point put over very well.
Even the most ardent blairite must have found that funny surely !
Terrible how specific I had to in my search for this video.
Thanks for your comment. This video was posted some time ago, back when UA-cam was young. I've updated the tags and description to hopefully make searching easier.
Great stuff!
WILLIAM HAGUE SHOULD BE OUR NEXT PRIME MINISTER - FULL STOP
Totally agree
He's horrible.I wish he would disappear.
One of the most hated politicians in history.
Martin Hill i like hague
Martin Hill I like Hague too ... he slaughtered Tony Blair at the Dispatch Box!
Brilliant !
I hate the Tories but this is absolute gold.
What an enormous cheerful character William hague is... That was a classic... We will never forget how hilarious he was in the house 🇬🇧😇😎🙏👑
British Humour!
Top banter
so, so good. Hague is such a fantastic speaker. It never worked out for him as leader but his service to the party has been second to none
Can I have the transcript of The Rt Hon William HAGUE's statement on Gordon BROWN's EU nightmare in this video?
anyone know where the video of Hague on Madleson - referring to him as an Arch bishop or something similar? ... that video has disappeared from UA-cam! ..... so damn funny
hague always brings his A game to the table
George Osborne reminds me of ronnie kray, only when he speaks do i hit myself and think again.
Where can I view the full footage? This is very entertaining.
i like this kind of Government better than what we have in the US.

was sorry to hear the news about your mom william.. had some great times with your mum and dad.. rip stella.
THIS IS CLASS
Top Bloke. Very Clever, experienced & funny.
his missus is 'fine' too.
The best PrimeMinister that we have yet to have!!!
The sting in any rebuke is the truth.
I was home from work unusually early and saw this live on BBC Parliament, Hague is sooo good! I think he became the Conservative leader too early.
Best speech in the house all year!
Brilliant creative argument. A polished bauble, indeed from the Mother of All Parliaments. Thanks for this.
Hagueie delivered it with pure class! Could stop laughing.
i love this.william is so funny and very witty.i love this sort of thing .
This guy is great
Hague has got talent!
So is the "crown"
Where can i find the clip of that english guy yelling NO MORE STIMULUS ENGLAND CANT AFFORD IT
Pure gold from William
A superb debator. The best. Needed as shadow chancellor.
Wonderful! Unfortunately, we do not have these kinds of politicians in Sweden.
Can anyone make tapescript of this video?
@blitzkrieggj I think you`ll find pretty much everyone in the chamber was laughing - including the speaker.
Thank you.

only hague can represent the uk as foreign secretary, hes simply great at the work he does

now that was funny hague showing how it done
ROFLMAO. A truly excellent speech, Praise the day when his post is no longer preceeded by the word shadow.
Love his acsent
I have a stupid question: what does "on maneuvers" mean?
Mr Hague's time will come!
absolute classic - PMSL!
