How comfortable is your pulpit?

The topic of Prescott inevitably came up on Question Time on tv last night.
As Heseltine said (I paraphrase) having an adulterous affair does not in
itself justify being sacked. But making yourself and the office of Deputy
Prime Minister a nationwide laughing stock, should do.

As Private Eye pointed out, the old git has a history of putting his hand up
women's skirts, for decades. He assaulted a journalist Jaci Stephen in this
way on a public occasion. He is the worst sort of predatory oaf and it is
perhaps surprising that there haven't been complaints of sexual harassment
about him.

His position at the moment, with lots of perks but no real job, seems to be
as advisor and trouble-shooter between warring factions in the Labour Party
for which arguably he should be paid by the Labour Party rather than out of
the public purse. How can a working class socialist like him justify his
position? Well, seemingly he has no qualms about it. I still remember a
Parkinson interview in the late 1990s when Prescott just kept telling
Parkinson in a rather childlike way that he was amazed to have reached the
dizzy heights of cabinet after his humble beginnings and felt very proud of
himself. He isn't a statesman. If anything, he's a sort of mascot.


Court jester..Oh. No, that's Tony..
