[kj] Jaz Straw

"I have a hard time believing it impacts Jack Straw's life in any great 
fashion."

  *I'm going from memory here* . But I believe that Jack straw has a 
constituency in Blackburn where 25 % of the population are Muslim and when 
he talks with his female  constituents who sometimes wear a veil . He finds 
is obtrusive and he feels that it creates a barrier between him and his 
constituent .

"In part, this was because of the apparent incongruity between the signals 
which indicate common bonds - the entirely English accent, the couples' 
education (wholly in the UK) - and the fact of the veil. Above all, it was 
because I felt uncomfortable about talking to someone 'face-to-face' who I 
could not see."
