That was nothing more than a cheap and irrelevant shot. What has Jack Straw's father's personal political and ethical opinions have to do with Fuhrer Griffin's belief that Churchill would have been a member of the British Nazi Party?

On the subject of Jack Straw, I thought the gave an very account of himself. I could see in his face, the amount of restraint he was applying, when responding to the odious little man's rhetoric.

But How many time was he asked if he was a holocaust denier? I counted 4 times and when finally pushed all he said was he's "changed his mind" because of apparently "intercepted radio signals" by the British army, never mind the mountains of other evidence having been available for years.

I thought he was saying that the intercepted signals were about the four hundred Jews massacred in Eastern Europe.

It was mentioned, but he appeared to deny the status of the author of the quote.
