THE LAST DITCH

Link: Cynical Chatter From The Underworld – Straw: Is He Really In The Wrong?.

This is unbelievably clever politics from New Labour. Jack Straw has said nothing that could be criticised as racist. He has respected the wishes of women who want to wear the full veil. Only the most crazed fanatic could complain that he politely asks if they would mind removing it to talk to him. But he knew he could count on a ready supply of such people. Without doing anything real, he has managed to distance his Party from its longstanding dhimmitude and provoke reputation-enhancing denunciations from the loons of “Respect” and the MPAC.

Again, I don’t think Cameron is wise to fight them on their own ground. These guys are really good at the wicked, deceitful games that they play.

    John Reid is getting tough as well.
    Pretty soon, New Labour’s virtual universe will encompass claims that it has solved the problems of immigration, as well as improving education, health and law and order year-on-year.
    You’ve got to admire their cheek if nothing else, and marvel at the gullibility of their voters.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
