I think it's incumbent on all of us, especially those elected to parliament, not to inflame our debates in a way that's harmful to others.

I want to put something on the record, it's perfectly respectable for a child of immigrants like me to say I'm deeply grateful to live here, to say that immigration has been overwhelmingly good for Great Britain but that we've had too much of it in recent years.
And to say that uncontrolled and illegal migration is simply bad.
Yet, despite our reasonable concerns we've raised on several occasions, I am subject to the most grotesque slurs for saying simple truths about the impact of unlimited and illegal immigration.
The worst among them poisoned by the extreme ideology of identity politics suggests that a person's skin colour should dictate their political views.
I will not be hectored by out of touch lefties or anyone for that matter.
I won't be patronised on what appropriate views for someone of my background can hold. I will not back down when faced with spurious accusations of bigotry.
When such smears seep into the discourse of this chamber, as they did last week, accusations that this government's policies, policies backed by the majority of the British people, are bigoted, are xenophobic, are dog whistles to racists, it is irresponsible and frankly beneath the dignity of this place.
Politicians of all stripes should know better and they should choose their words carefully.

We ought not to decide hastily against the words of an Act of Parliament.

Senator, don't let your judgement be warped by one heady moment.

We must develop this position reasonably, prudently, sensitively - we must be sure we don't inflame the passions of unthinking men to garner a vote; yet it is essential that the position I believe in be explained.

You have to remain calm. You can’t make precipitous decisions. You just have to sit down and be very thoughtful and deliberative in everything you say and do.

Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.

There is always the risk in parliament that political opinions might be expressed.

Guard against those men who make a great noise about religion, in choosing representatives. It is electioneering intrigue. … If pure religion is the criterion to denominate candidates, those who make a noise about it must be rejected; for their wrangle about it, proves that they are void of it. Let honesty, talents and quick despatch, characterise the men of your choice. (p. 267)

When you examine your conscience (attention to what I am going to tell you) do not go too far; look at it as we look at the seashore from the top of the Alps or the Pyrenees, lightly, without going into details. If you do not see anything clearly and certainly wrong, go ahead and be at peace with your God. Mind this, I repeat, and do tell me how you are faring, because the devil could trick you and do you serious hard with his false doctrine and suggestions. This union produces peace of mind; then search for peace. Let nothing disturb you, be it good or bad.

I warn you, be careful and consider the consequences of your vote.

I am most anxious that in dealing with matters which every Member knows are extremely delicate matters, I should not use any phrase or expression which would cause offence to our friends and Allies on the Continent or across the Atlantic Ocean.

Harmonisation must be done carefully in amending all articles talking about the term of MPs.

This is the time for every patriotic political leader, especially those aspiring for offices and who will be going round to mobilise the people, to avoid hate speech capable of inciting their followers and supporters into violence.
