READER Charnley's letter (July 22) describes Jack Straw as a 'tiresome parrot' for Tony Blair -- correct!
This squawking parrot 'sailor' Tony lets off his bloated shoulder to echo drone sailor's yarns gives us all a good laugh with his political screeching from his deadwood head.
Other front bench Damon Runyan type characters also give us comic cuts.
There's bleary-eyed bulldog Prescott looking like he's just swallowed the cat, there's loony-Hoons trying to be warmonger a la Lord Kitchener.
There's Margaret Becket automatically applauding Blair like a grateful seal getting its fish.
Other Labour party vaudeville acts in Parliament and also suitable for the Glasgow Empire audience missiles.
