[corinth748]

for what will our esteemed deputy prime minister be remembered for after 10 years or so in office ?
anything ?

[Dicko_82]

That punch!

[Ric.ror]

A tiny sausage - he only has himself to blame

[Kim A]

Being a rough old docker with a working class chip on his shoulder, Pauline's cardboard hairdo that needed it's own transport in the rain, sh***ing on his desk (eeew, the very thought of that with him - barf!), looking like a bulldog chewing a wasp and playing croquet. Is there anything else?

[Marvelman]

Kim A. That just about sums him up.

[ludwig]

punching that bloke
being called '2 jags'
playing croquet
mangling his words
sha66ing his secretary
not paying his council tax
being fat, rough and northern.

I don't want to be unfair to the bloke - If anyone can name any positive things - political achivements, legislation he's pushed through etc, I'll be glad to read it and learn.

[flip-flop]

For me it will be the delicious irony that in the last days of the Tory administration it was sweaty Prescott who was the most vocal about Tory sleaze.

Fast forward a few years and he's humping his secretary.

Brilliant.

The man is morally bankrupt - plus, of course, let's not forget that he is a complete and utter ******* ******.

[lindapinda]

As a figure of ridicule!!

[wired]

The biggest lungs in politics.He should be on Just a Minute for his ability to speak for a whole minute without saying anything.

The man who brought us an integrated transport policy,Sorry that was a 10 year plan,stil two years left of it.
The man who brought us regional assembies,oops ! the people rejected that in a vote !!!
The man who brought us postal voting,a great leap forward for democracy,so say the 56 people who live in the one bedroom
flat down the road !!!
Still I think he's great in the Churchill Insurance adverts,
Oh yes.............

He may be an idiot in personal terms (Having an affair with a woman 20 years his junior) but the press are always attempting to undermine the people with great responsibility. Nowadays the personal lives of important people have more press time than the achievements! When do you ever hear that:

Prescott led for the country during the Kyoto Agreement discussions

He has created more affordable homes

Delivering sustainable communities

Contributed to Urban regeneration

Is Tackling poverty and social exclusion

You're all looking at his personal issues. Why not focus on what he's done for this country, not his sexual habits etc!
