What effect does it have on your day to day life?

It is merely a question. Why should I not be curious about the background of our senior politicians? Is it true?

You can't judge someone by a parents actions.

You mean courage of his convictions. If my parents firmly believed in something then that is one trait I would hope to be passed on to me.

Yes, parental upbringing does shape a child, but I don't know where you are coming from with this. I mean, you are saying cos his dad went to prison, for something that is not deemed a crime in this day and age, that Jack Straw might be tempted to a spot of criminality.

It does mould them, but just the fact that he was a conscientious objector wouldn't have impacted on little Straw until later life.

He went into Politics where they decide when to go to War.
