There are different degrees of rape , just as there are different degrees of murder and different degrees of theft, mushroom. Or would you give all rapists the same sentence ? If not, why not?
Ken Clarke is right on immigration too, in what he said, but not, of course, in what some people will say he meant or said.

//Mr Clarke is the MP for Rushcliffe (Notts), WR. He must live there, at least.//
he claimed his notts home was his main residence, thus qualifying for a second homes allowance on his London residence. yet he told the local council that he spent so little time in his constituency that his wife should qualify for 25% single person discount.

"He is also a big fan of the EU "
an understatement of epic proportions
when cameron got him back in government, for the eussr thats was like getting a spy in at the highest level
apart from the eussr connection of ken there was no real logical explanation for his post except as a fifth columnist on the eussr behalf...seems to be working well for them
another one happy to sell this country down the rioad

Not sure I agree with his “rightwing, nationalist escapism”. comment, seems it is just the latest form of the ancient and overused comment that it is 'racist' to even discuss immigration.
But this is also what he said,
/// Free movement of immigrants in the EU is needed to run a market economy and restrictions should not go further than curbs on access to benefits or the NHS, Mr Clarke said. ///
And one has to agree that there should be curbs imposed on the access to benefits, and the NHS, and regarding this both Labour and the Lib-Dems also agree with Ian Duncan Smith's suggestions.
/// It came as Labour and the Liberal Democrats backed calls from Conservative ministers for tougher limits on European Union migrants' rights to claim benefits in Britain. ///
/// Nick Clegg, the Lib Dem leader, said Mr Duncan Smith's idea was "eminently sensible". ///
I think that if the 'carrot' was withdrawn, we would see immigration brought down to a mere trickle.
