puck BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy (214* d) RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy 07 Oct 06

A simple request by Jack Straw to remove a barrier to communication on an equal level, has led the media to 'hype it up' into controversy. I heard the matter being misquoted on several radio 4 news and current affairs progs. that brought the subject up during the course of yesterday, and it was being 'wound up'by the press and other politicians and political commentators to the point that the Labour Party then have to issue a statement that Jack Straw's comments do not reflect Labour Party policy. Jack Straw made a REQUEST not a demand, to an individual in an individual cicumstance in which he found himself, and felt uncomfortable with. The lady in this case felt uncomfortable with complying...OK. Jack Straw was not making a demand or threat - just a request, thats all.
Bad news day yesterday perhaps!!!!
