	Nicholas Budgen - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Budgen was baptised at Lichfield Cathedral by Enoch Powell's grandfather.
		Budgen had in fact suggested to the seatless former Conservative Government minister Alan Clark that he should stand for the Referendum Party.He had said that the Conservatives "in the West Midlands will be running on alternative manifesto", presumably meaning with other local Maastricht Rebels, Christopher Gill (Ludlow) and Richard Shepherd (Aldridge and Brownhills).
		Budgen was a keen huntsman, he had hunted in 29 of the UK's counties, and in his youth was well known in the hunting community for being a particularly fearless rider; he wrote regularly for Horse and Hound.

	BBC News \| Obituaries \| Nicholas Budgen: An arch Euro-sceptic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Nicholas Budgen was one of a group of arch Euro-sceptic Tory MPs which proved such a thorn in the side of John Major's government.
		Initially, Nicholas Budgen toed the party line, becoming a junior Whip in the Thatcher government, but by the early 1990s he had become increasingly disillusioned by what he saw as a continual move to European federalism.
		Nicholas Budgen was a Tory of the old school, thoughtful and courteous, with an almost bookish manner, but his deep concerns about Europe were argued with vigour and passion.

	Nicholas Budgen

		The manifesto approvingly quotes Nicholas Budgen, the former Tory MP for Wolverhampton South East who, just before the election was called, attacked Labour for being ‘lax’ on immigration and in his election address stated that immigration has brought ‘substantial social problems’.
		The BNP applaud Budgen for being ‘in a minority of MPs of his party in being prepared to state it [racist anti-immigration views] openly’ and for arguing his views against ‘the frantic efforts of his party’s hierarchy to suppress debate on immigration’.
		Budgen is quoted as saying: ‘In their schools, in their pubs and in their shops, the British have felt like strangers in their own land’.

		The sitting MP since 1974, Nicholas Budgen, is fighting on although some MPs might have been tempted to find a safer seat or retire.
		Mr Budgen's predecessor, and the only other MP to have held this seat, was Enoch Powell.
		It was here in 1968 that Mr Powell made his famous "rivers of blood" speech in which he warned against allowing any increase in the number of coloured immigrants to Britain.

	No cynic where it mattered Spectator, The - Find Articles
		Hewn from the same quarry of West Midlands granite as his parliamentary predecessor, Enoch Powell, whom he succeeded in 1974, Nicholas Budgen swiftly made his mark in the House as a backbencher of acute intelligence and awkward independence.
		In opposition his mordant wit and penetrating questioning floored many a hapless Labour minister, and since he saw no reason to desist from his role as a critic of government policy just because his own party had won the 1979 election, it was unsurprising that early promotion should have eluded him.
		Away from the Commons Nicholas Budgen was an intrepid horseman, a competent circuit barrister, an engaging, if thrifty, dinner party companion, a provocative journalist and a hard-pressed farmer.

		This decision was taken by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown immediately following the 1997 general election.

		Nicholas Budgen, MP for Wolverhampton South-West, called for the threat of non-cooperation with the EU to be revived.
		He asked two EU scientific committees to look into whether the selective slaughter of up to 147,000 cattle from previously infected herds planned for this autumn should be extended to calves.
		It would only affect calves born to cows that contracted or showed signs of BSE within six months of the birth." Amid the uncertainty surrounding the cull, Tory Euro-sceptics insisted that the new evidence should not be allowed to lead to an extension of the export ban.

		The former cabinet minister David Mellor took a beating from Labour in Putney; Scottish secretary Michael Forsyth, President of the Board of Trade Ian Lang, and foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind lost their seats as the Tories were swept out of Scotland.
		Nicholas Budgen, the right-wing Eurosceptic who had made a play for the racist vote during the election campaign, went the same way in Wolverhampton South West.
		All over the country, but particularly in London and the south-east, Labour won victories almost as improbable as that in Enfield Southgate: Hastings and Rye, Finchley and Golders Green, Harrow West, Romford, Wimbledon, Hove, Gillingham.

	Minette Marrin: The Tory policy that Mr Major won't support
		Mr Budgen's request was perfectly reasonable, since the Conservative Party's own campaign guide for candidates explains that these Labour proposals would "undoubtedly lead to increased immigration and fresh abuse of the system".
		This sounds and feels very like the bad old days, when there was a heavy Utopian censoriousness in the air, and when reasonable people were afraid to speak out on important matters, or - like Nicholas Budgen - had moral and social pressures put on them to shut up.
		It is true that there is a case for special discretion on matters of race and immigration.

		New Labour MPs were far too cringing to take up the libertarian arguments against the gun law, and the opposition parties were nervous about criticising it.
		That was left to the late Nicholas Budgen, a Tory backbencher, in what Simon Hoggart described as one of the last great speeches made in parliament.
		The opposition could still make the case against a law which is both absurdly authoritarian and, as it proves, futile.

		Butler and Kavanagh's study—Butler has been producing such analyses of General Elections for decades—is typically rigorous and thorough, well researched and with few mistakes.
		Possibly its most interesting chapter is the one on the press and how Labour managed to win over the affections of Wapping and Fleet Street (which helped Nicholas Budgen in Wolverhampton) and the relative lack of hostility to ethnic minority candidates generally.
		Where the white population has previously elevated the importance of "race" beyond considerations of class politics (or anything else), it is now the ethnic minority population that seems to be doing it.
