A STRAW MAN....



Is there a more ridiculous figure than Jack Straw in British politics? I doubt it. His latest pronouncements in the Telegraph in favour of the Euro Constitution (where else?)are nicely dissected here in Eurosoc. I liked this excerpt;



" If it is security that we depend on the EU for then we had better all dig holes in the ground and buy tin helmets. The EU was unable to sort out the former Yugoslavia without the Americans, if something really serious came along - like say, the war on terror, where would we be if we threw in our lot with a bunch of appeasing charlatans.



If our prosperity depends upon it, Lord above Jack, just look at the economies around Europe and thank your cotton socks that you have a channel, nay gulf between them and us."



Quite right!
