"He is, is he not, Jewish after all?"
What has him being Jewish got to do with it? are you implying that hes
doing this because hes Jewish? I find your remarks very suspicious
"Straw is a career politician for God's sake, all that matters to him is his
career and his career prospects and nothing else."
Now you are saying that hes doing it just to promote himself???
Cant you just accept that he feels uncomfortable dealing with women who wear
hijabs?
"Are you really trying to tell me that a New Labour politician like Jack
Straw is seriously making these statements out of a sense of welfare for
Muslim women?"
He has never said that hes dong it to help the women, he has said that it
makes HIM feel uncomfortable . Hes not saying it because hes Jewish, hes
not saying it to help Muslim women, hes saying it because it makes him feel
uncomfortable .
And a Politicians job is to run the country and make changes where
necessary, and that is what he is doing. His job
"all that matters to him is his career and his career prospects and nothing
else."
Thats a very pessimistic view. Yes his career does matter to him , but you
cannot say that nothing else matters to him
