Tory MP says two useful things. There must be an election in the offing.
His name is Philip Hollobone and he is the MP for Kettering.
The Express says
ANGRY MPs will tomorrow revolt against a drive by ministers to force Britain into welcoming Turkey into the European Union.
Backbenchers are ready to defy party whips by voting against Government support for expanding the EU further east.
Many fear the move will lead to a new wave of mass immigration that would dwarf the influx from Eastern Europe over recent years. And concerns are intensifying about the prospect of an overwhelmingly Muslim country with a population of 74million joining the EU.
Tory backbencher Philip Hollobone told the Daily Express of his determination to vote against his party’s official line of supporting Turkey’s EU bid. He said: “It would be a disaster for Turkey to join the EU in terms of the number of people that would come here as a result. It would be far worse than the number that came in from Eastern Europe. There will be a rebellion on this.”
It is understood a number of Labour MPs are also considering joining the rebellion.
They fear a furious backlash from voters if they are seen to be supporting clearing the way for another round of mass immigration into Britain.
And the BBC says
In a parliamentary debate, Conservative MP Philip Hollobone said it was "offensive" for women to cut off face-to-face contact with other people.
Speaking in Parliament's Westminster Hall, Mr Hollobone raised the controversial issue, saying it was at the "crude end" of the immigration argument.
He said: "I have huge sympathy with those who say they want action against those who want to cover themselves up in public.
"How ridiculous would the House of Commons be if we all wore burkas? How would Mr Speaker (John Bercow) be able to identify which Member to call next?
"It is the religious equivalent of going round with a paper bag over your head with two holes for the eyes.
"It is offensive in my view to want to cut yourself off from face-to-face contact or recognition with other members of the human race.
"I think we should certainly look at ways to tackle that issue."
