Additional bonus lulz: you can go teabagging with Daniel Hannan in Brighton. I swear, I thought this was a parody at first.
OFUK. Of all the really laem things to ape about Americans... :x The fact they LAUD the exploits of Sarah Palin is a screaming red light of lail in and of itself.

Wait, I thought that the BNP was already the British version of the Tea Party. (half-joking here)
I just realized Amerispags may not get the humour of my above statement, so I shall explain:
Brighton is well known as the "gay capital" of the UK, with a large number of LGBT nightclubs, bookstores, support groups and shops. Therefore, going "teabagging" in Brighton is inherently hilarious, especially when done by the sort of conservatives who are not big fans of the gay community or lifestyle. Hannan for example is considered to be on the hard right of mainstream UK politics, and often flirts with Republicans of the Fox News/Sarah Palin variety.
Also it was only just last week someone in America was saying Europe needed its own Teabaggers. Is that conspiracy I smell in the air, the sound of manufactured rage designed to look like grassroots discontent, aimed at reigning in UKIP type libertarians and independents and bringing them under Tory control? Say tuned as I let someone else do all the research, confirming my well founded paranoia!
Wow. No way. It's too rich, too much.
Ah, but wasn't that whole 'Tea Party' thing like... against the British? Shouldn't they go for something like "Cromwelling" or "Roundheading" or "Gunpowdering" or "Beheading" or something related to their historical solutions for attepmting to overthrow tyranny?
"Submitting meekly and letting talented reformers sort out the mess"? But yeah, that little irony was not lost on me either.

I'm sorry. The U.S. never has been able to keep it's shit to itself. Still, you can have a laugh at the stupidity.

THAT's why I said it's too much. Just all, too too much.
It's tantmount to the French aristocracy (is there much, if any, of that left?) deciding to have a Guillotine Party to elect the next President and cabinet.

I WANT TO GO!
Is there any value in Brits (or people capable of convincing Brit impersonation) visiting Tea Party sites and complaining about their Brit-o-phobia, American arrogance and cultural imperialism?
You know, hypothetically speaking. Not that I would suggest this for sheer amusement or anything.
HFLS, you could always complain that they're charging for the refreshments. It's a party - aren't the drinks usually free at parties? :P
