Agree with the above comments - both Straw and Rifkind should know better.

Changing the topic slightly:

Another sign of the times.

Mr Ohso had to go Wicks DIY store the other day.
He said tucked in a corner of the car park there was a covered stall buying second hand clothing for cash.
No wonder the charity shops are looking so bare, or with scrubby old stuff that I wouldn't have brought for twenty pence from a jumble sale.

Hi Ohso. was that on the Forbury Retail Park in Reading? I saw a stall buying second hand clothes there a couple of weeks ago

Short video of Ed campaigning in Bristol

That's a great video and it led me on to watching a few more including Ed M's speech at Google's Big Tent event where, along with his primary message about responsible capitalism, he talked about the UK acting alone to ensure transparency and fairness on business taxation, and tax havens, even if he couldn't get international agreement on it. It's a twenty minute speech but, again, worth watching:
