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

Re: Jack Straw, Racist or Correct?
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.
