Good for him at long last a Member of Parliment speaks out, hey if Jack Straw formed a new political party I may vote for it.

It's good to see an MP sticking to his guns, instead of doing a 180 as soon as the media finds out.

German saying: "one swallow doesn't yet make a summer." Also, his silence during the cartoon row was amongst the loudest. If I remember correctly he even recommended what effectively is self-censorship of Western newsmedias.

He could be waking up to whats going on, we hope.

Skybird · 10-06-06, 10:47 AM

Like I often say: politicians in Europe are way out of touch with reality and the opinion of the wide public.

Skybird, interesting read on that link lets hope we all see a change from our leaders.

Bowing down back wards and offering them an inch and they take a mile lets hope our European leaders are waking up at long last.

In the U.K., is it legal to mask your identity in public?

In CNN.com's own Quickvote on the subject, 78 percent said "yes" to the question: "Is Jack Straw right to say the wearing of veils by Muslim women makes community relations more difficult?"
