When asked for their origin I have a sneaking feeling that most of them would say they were American......not caucasian.

And some of them would pull a Glock and start shooting:uzi:;)

I would suggest given the population of Oldham if he's trying to increase the Labour vote by his comments he's scored a massive own goal ;)

Happen I'm getting the constituancies mixed up , thought it was Oldham or somewhere nearby where Gordon Brown accused the white woman (an old traditional labour voter) of being a bigot during th last general election :confused:

Gillian Duffy, the woman Brown insulted, is from Rochdale.

Oldham East and Saddleworth has quite a sizable asian population.

It's fairly ludicrous to suggest Straw said what he did to influence this Thursday's by-election.

The only ludicrous thing is that Straw keeping quiet for so long, even after the problem in Blackburn was made high profile years ago, following a campaign by the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

True.

They're all in the bits of Lancashire we trimmed off in the seventies, because they're peopled by bigots.

Whats that got to do with Jack Straw,it makes no difference to his ability to comment on the issue being discussed. He i suspect is not his brothers keeper just because his brother has been found guilty of this offence, does this make Jack straw guilty by association? He has highlighted a deep rooted problem in what seems to be mostly young asian men, even if it has taken a few years for him to finally highlight the problem having known about it for years apparently.
