Better Not Be Paying For This.

My local MP has had a complaint made against him to the police for raising the issue of whether to ban the burqa*:
An MP was investigated by police for inciting racial hatred over controversial comments about the burkha following complaints from a human rights association.
........

Now it has emerged police received a complaint about the Kettering MP a few days after his comments from the Northamptonshire Rights and Equality Council (NREC).

The voters and council ratepayers of Ketting, Northants and Northampton must be utterly delighted...

Thanks Mark. I'll add a link to your post.

Julia- I'm thrilled.

Since they were trying to nobble him for comments made during a commons debate, this is surely contempt of parliament?

Ross said...

Chuckles- Probably but if they didn't punish Carter Ruck for trying to prevent parliamentary debates being reported then I doubt they'll do anything to NREC.

I wrote Philip a letter on my blog yesterday, expressing my support for him and my utter exasperation at the idiots who reported him.

Yes I read it, and agree with everything you wrote.
