It's certainly inspired me to write a letter to the editor of my local daily, and I encourage readers to do the same.

Here's the report of his speech from the BBC (still tracking down a transcript), here's the video of his statement. Do yourself a favour and watch it.

Update2: Found the transcript on Daily Kos at last.
