BLACKBURN, England: “SACK JACK” is the simple message emblazoned on luminous green posters adorning an old army fire engine in the town square.
“Hit the road Jack Straw. Don’t you come back no more,” blares an accompanying tune as shoppers wander by in Blackburn.
The antique "Green Goddess” fire engine has been commandeered as a campaign bus by an outspoken former ambassador who left the diplomatic service in a row over torture in Uzbekistan and is now set to defeat his old boss, Foreign Secretary Straw, in his own constituency in the May 5 election.
Craig Murray, 46, hopes to tap public anger over Iraq and the government’s zeal in joining US President George W Bush’s “war on terrorism”.
