A Labour backbencher claimed last night that Tory proposals to curb illegal gipsy sites had "the whiff of the gas chambers about them".

Kevin McNamara's remark immediately provoked an angry Conservative response that Labour was seeking to inflame racial tensions.

What a stupid comment to make.

Quote:

The pre-election skirmishing reached new levels of bitterness, with Labour saying that Michael Howard, the Tory leader, lacked the qualities to lead the nation. The Tories have rattled Labour by highlighting a series of populist issues, including the furore about travellers illegally occupying land then installing roads and electricity before applying, retrospectively, for planning permission.

Thats it boys, get dirty and blow each other to bits.
