The Spectator Blog - Stephen Pollard (Free subscription) | 25/07/2008
Oh dear. The Conservative MP Daniel Kawczynski lays into Melanie on CentreRight: This person lambasts me on the report published yesterday from the International Development Select Committee of which I am a member without even bothering to pick up a phone to check her facts. Why do people accept such lazy and inaccurate reporting. I enclose below two communications I have had with the Chairman of...

Daniel Kawczynski, a Conservative MP, is annoyed at the Guardian claiming that he claims more expenses for food than he actually does. The reaction of the commentators probably isn't exactly what he hoped for.

Pole Dancing Many bloggers felt that Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski had gone bonkers this week, after launching into a rant at John Humphries live on the Today programme, in which he blamed the BBC for violence against Polish people in the UK. Virtual Stoa helpfully provides a transcript. His tirade was described variously as crackpot, bizarre, and a joke. The latter comment came from James...

The Speaker, Michael Martin, has thwarted an attempt by the MP Daniel Kawczynski to bring a cow into the House of Commons. The Tory member for Shrewsbury and Atcham had hoped to bring in an animal owned by a constituent as part of a protest planned by farmers next month to illustrate the threat of bovine tuberculosis to Britain's dairy industry.

The BBC has firmly rejected claims by an MP that its coverage of immigration has led to an increase in attacks on Poles living in the UK. Daniel Kawczynski said the BBC "liberal elite" was using "white Christian" Poles as a proxy to avoid covering "more controversial" immigrants. He has a point. Despite the fact that immigration from eastern Europe is nowadays talked about the most, to quote 2006...

Yes, according to Daniel Kawczynski, who blames the “liberal elites” - and in particular the BBC - for increased attacks on Poles in the UK. If there is a widespread vendetta by the BBC against Poles, presumably the Poles themselves are up in arms about it? Well, not on Polish Forums they’re not. The [...]

The BBC is to blame for an increase in attacks on Poles, according to a Conservative MP. Daniel Kawczynski told BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning: "The liberal elite of the BBC are using the Poles as a cat's...

A Conservative MP, Daniel Kawczynski, has blamed the BBC for the apparent increase in attacks on Polish immigrants. He claims that the "liberal elite" at the Corporation focused on the "soft touch" of "White Christians from Poland" in dealing with the immigration issues, rather than on what he calls "more controversial" (as well as larger-scale) immigration from the Indian sub-continent, Africa and...

Should we have a new Bank Holiday to celebrate Britishness Polishness? Conservative MP Daniel Kawczynski makes the case this morning on the radio, over the fold. (What is it about the voters of Shrewsbury, anyway, who first sent the great Lib Dem erotic poet Paul Marsden to Westminster, and now this chap?) John Humphries — We should [...]

The kindest thing to say about Daniel Kawczynski’s appearance on the Today programme this morning is that it was eccentric. He accused the BBC, “yooou, Mr Humphreys” of provoking violence against Polish migrants, because they are “white Christians”. Very curious. It certainly wrongfooted Humphreys, who thought he was in for a light-hearted natter about a hopeless Ten Minute Rule Bill. Evoking US political...

I don't make these stories up, you know. This one is in the Shropshire Star : Shropshire MP Daniel Kawczynski had a beef with the Commons authorities because they have refused to let him take a cow into the parliamentary precincts. The Shrewsbury & Atcham MP sought permission to take one of his constituent’s cattle to Westminster as part of a demonstration by farmers later this month. The animal was...
