Lost his temper in the Commons over application to join the then EEC[edit]

Surely, his outburst against Harold Macmillan in 1961 ought to be mentioned or even quoted? Norvo (talk) 03:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to have been a pretty spectacular outburst according to this report in the Guardian:

"It was a memorable day in the Commons all right, bursting with history and drama as vehement, untidy, and sensational as anyone could hope to avoid. Yet how could it have been avoided? There was Europe, economic or political or however you chose to see it. Here were a lot of people who, in spite of the Liberals and Mr Longden, and many others who had been converted long before Mr Macmillan saw the light, were not at all sure that they wanted to go.

Some were sure they did not want to go. There were the kickers and screamers, and none kicked and screamed more violently than Mr Anthony Fell, the Conservative member for Yarmouth, who called Mr Macmillan all sorts of names, including a disaster, and told him in the name of Mr Fell to go". Surely, this is what he is best remembered for? Norvo (talk) 04:05, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I forgot to include the source:http://century.guardian.co.uk/1960-1969/Story/0,,105535,00.html It really seems the EEC gave him a veritable fit! Norvo (talk) 04:24, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
