Finest political parody website I have seen for a while

Following hard on the heels of The Happy Blog of Harriet Harman comes an even better parodic website; this blog purports to be the blog of "Jack Straw Member of Parliament for Blackburn" and is a real hoot. Here are some examples of the fine writing skills of the satirical writers responsible for this blog:
"CCTV both deters and helps convict criminals; and so does the DNA database. But it is also a huge protection for the innocent, and has made it far less likely that the wrong person is convicted."


"All three religions are seen as "religions of the book". There have been many centuries when Jews, Christians, and Muslims have lived happily side by side (more often when there's been a Muslim ruler, as it happens). And Moses and Jesus are regarded as revered prophets in Islam."


There's a lot more marvellous humour to be found at Jack Straw's blog, I just hope the authors keep it up for longer than the Happy Harriet parody writers managed.


UPDATE (16:35):
It appears that this blog is not a parody but is in fact really Jack Straw's blog. I apologise for not realising that Jack Straw's reality is now beyond parody.
