That didn't take long. Responses to Straw's comments are coming fast
and furious. This will be interesting to watch. Here is an article in
The Times:
What a difference a few hours make. In the morning, Jack Straw’s
heavily qualified hints about working towards a written constitution
were welcomed by Unlock Democracy, a leading reform group. Then, in the
afternoon, Mr Straw’s full speech, entitled “Modernising the Magna
Carta”, received a more hostile response: “what a load of cobblers,” as
the OurKingdom website put it.
