This would have been rather popular up here. Looking back I don’t think he would have done much worse than blair except the record three victorys would probobly be ruled out. Prescot oddly seems more pollished now which is I think a great shame, his early gaffs endeared him to me but his latter slick, spinny, wheel him out to placate the grass roots roll has got on my tits rather. He was good as a battleing hero of the left, he only looks daft as a statesman its like putting a ribbon on an old bull terrier and entering it at cruffs as a poodle.
Everytime sections of the press berate his northerness I like him a little more, everytime he is on today and well rehersed in toeing the line I like him less currently I remain indifferent and think there are better targets to bring down.

Having met the man at an American Embassy bash a few years ago I can assure you that he is an arrogant, self-serving crook. The sooner he is unemployed the better we shall all be.

No, of course not. Read my reply to Phil E.

He’s from Coatbridge. People from Coatbridge are much more aggressive than Glaswegians.

What about Prescott’s attitude to women? Here’s a SAMPLE. Read it and tell me if you think he is fit to be in government.

On 30 April 2006, a former senior Labour aide Tricia McDaid was reported in the Sunday Times as accusing Prescott of being, in the paper’s headline, “a serial groper” with a long record within the Labour Party of aggressive sexual behaviour:
The Sunday Times quoted Linda McDougall, wife of Austin Mitchell MP,
It was 1978, just after my husband had become an MP. I was 35. There was a memorial lecture for his predecessor, Anthony Crosland, and we were welcoming guests into our house. I opened the door to Prescott and showed him in. It was the first time I�d met him. As he came through the door, he pushed me quite forcefully against the wall and put his hand up my skirt.
Lord Birt, it was also reported in the media, had to write a letter of apology to Jaci Stephen, TV critic, after John Prescott had put his hand up her skirt at Birt’s Christmas party a while back.
And then there are the “affairs” of which Trevor Kavanagh, former political editor of The Sun, told Radio 5 Live: “Learning that John Prescott’s had an affair is a bit like learning that Simon Hughes is gay. I mean, everyone knew he has affairs. He’s had a string of affairs throughout his life and this has come as no surprise.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that all politicians are corrupt or self-interested. Most that I’ve met have been very decent and genuinely motivated. We all have faults and I think that it would be better if the press were much more tolerant of their gaffes, eccentricities and private lives.

However, Prescott is the very kind of cretinous oaf who spent the Thatcher years crying for the resignation of all the Tories for the very same reasons people now say he should go. He can’t have his pies and eat them. He can’t have his wife and his secretary.

But only morally wrong: it would seem to be factually right.
