Straw's tinted window van egged

Jack Straw, who has taken to scuttling at speed about the streets of Blackburn in a sleek, powerful van, with tinted windows, was the victim of a hail of rotten eggs by taxi drivers in Audley Range.

The vehicle left the area at speed and a shaken and anxious Jack Straw was later seen leaving the vehicle.

In public Straw looks increasingly worn and anxious, as he calls in the big guns of turncoat ex cabinet Minister Cook and wannabe PM, Gordon Brown to shore up his crumbling vote.

On Monday the Right Honorable Jack Straw said on BBC "Today" / Monday (printed in Indy Tuesday) ..." "The attorney general came to his view. He offered the view. It was unequivocal. The prime minister was right."

Read next post to see if his understanding of the word "unequivocal" agrees with yours or the OED ..."leaving no doubt"...
