Crass and insensitive!
Eh? I have simply pointed out that because of what Mr Straw has said, he may well now be subject to an attack of the non-verbal kind.

As regards our American cousins, what is so unusual about what happened yesterday? They have chosen - through the ballot box - for the right to bear arms and as such they feel fit to use those weapons to kill hundreds of their fellow citizens each week. Sometimes those killings are of the multiple kind and we see a number of those each year, of which what happened in Arizona is only one example. That in this instance it involved a politician is irrelevant other than to my allusion to the Honourable Member for Blackburn. So where is my joke?
