He says he has done no wrong. he is bound to say that as he wants to keep on to his job. He would claim he was sleep walking if he was caught robbing a bank such is the level he has stooped to. Why oh why cant they just show him the door? he is morally and politically corrupt.

Please be more specific with your allegations
Prescott is bound to be able to get out of paying the 'fat tax' too ;o)
you don't much like him, do you DT... but the reason they keep him on is widely known: he's the last link to the constituency of Old Labour voters, working people. The rest of his party are lawyers or career politicians, entirely without knowledge of real work. If he goes, who will these voters turn to? Ukip, probably. The trouble is, Prescott seems to be very New Labour in his love for the high life. I don't mean croquet, a game anyone can play, but hanging out with billionaires... and Blair isn't going to sack someone for hanging out with billionaires if he can help it, because it's just the sort of thing he loves to do himself. Me, I'd sack him for incompetence rather than corruption, but then I don't need the working class vote
Specific allegations are that he has met an American billionaire at least 7 times, AND stayed on his ranch in the USA, when this man is trying to set up a super casino in the UK.

He DID NOT declare the visit to the Ranch, when all MPs are supposed to declare any freebies they get, to avoid corruption scandals.

This man is supposed to be DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER but like Sven when he was England manager, treat it as an excuse to grab every bit of money and glamour they can.

He is one of the the WORST examples of a snouts in the trough politician, and he has the nerve to say he is a socialist.

He is the like the pigs in Animal Farm, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

How he is still in a position of importance I will never know.

jake read a newspaper....dont have to go beyond the first page headlines to know what i am talking about. turn the Tv on and you will have to only hear the ehadlines.

Downing street spokesperson has just announced that Prescott is not fat and hence will not have to pay any fat tax. Tony Blair is also reportedly 101% confident that Prescott is a nubile and slim person and is the best person for the job.
This is the man who was loudest in voice about Tory sleaze........oh the wonderful wonderful irony.
I thought this government was socialist ~ aren't socialist politicians very rich people who tell every other person with a smidge of money to hand it to them so that they can keep most, and hand a little bit to the poor?

Mr Pippa pays just over �11,000 per year in tax. Before tax he is an above average earner, after tax he is below average. In fact after tax he earns less than my council house occupying brother in law who lives very well on cash in hand job & benefits.

But that is another thread...
The Parliamentary Standards watchdog has just announced an inquiry. You can almost guarantee that it will be as unbiased as the "Hutton" report.
Read a Newspaper? - I wouldn't believe the date in most newspapers and if you believe what you read you're gullible beyond belief

Prescott is not connected with the Casinos decision, that's Tessa Jowell.

His department tried to pay so that it wouldn't be a freebie but ended up making a donation to charity instead which is why it wasn't registerred at first with the members interests.

The press really have it in for Prescott and are looking for any excuse.

I don't recall Churchill getting a lot of abuse for being overweight either of sorry of course Tories are allowed to be fat aren't they?

Very deep penetrating political insight Dom! Well done!
Question Author
Bet Jake you were the one who believed the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' line....80% of the population did not but then...hey you have great powers of penetrating insight into world affairs. Get real Jake your defence of Prescott is exposing your tenous grasp of reality. and by the way you made it personal.......
Question Author
JNO...Its got nothing to do with Prescott...i dislike cheating, two faced, slimebag politicians and am prepared to call a fahrt a fahrt whether it comes from a Tory or a Labour haharse. I will not say it smells of roses just because i support a particular party. Some on this site will defend their party politicians even in the face of the smelliest trump.
I can't believe Pippa beat me to the fat tax comment, its about all I can say about Prescott :)
as a member of the horizontally challenged community, can I just second jake's point that being fat is not of itself proof of corruption.
-- answer removed --
Well the point I was making (as a horizontally challenged lady..sort of) is that if the fat tax was brought in, Prescott wouldn't be paying a bean.

He shirked his council tax liablities so I don't see why it would be any different!
Well how about this .... at my place of work just after the Prescott affair became known, a male colleague made some inapropriate advances to me and said "if John Prescott can get away with it so can I" . I thought Labour were all for respect and progress for women ... I hardly think that the way he has behaved does that.
......... oh, and at http://tinyurl.com/posxs Mr Prescott is considering the question "Is sex with your secretary at work illegal ?" ...........
Yes and I say I've never robbed the Bank of England. But I would say that wouldn't I ?
So Prescott has an affair?- but that's different from when Major's at it with Edwina Curry isn't it

He's photographed playing croquet with his staff - call out the army!

He's visited an American Millionaire - Not something a Tory MP would ever do associate with businessmen is it

and he's fat!

This has to be the weakest set of accusations in political history

Face it you're just pee'd off because you don't like the government, you've no evidence of corruption so you're just slinging mud and saying "'where there's smoke there's fire"!'

As for WMD? Get real that's the weakest charge in the whole thread!

Question Author
jake...WMDs that resulted in the deaths of more than 100,000 iraqi civilians (and may I add more than 50 innocent londoners). Even the most shameless labour drip would not consider that the weakest charge.
