Default you just can't teach class

I was watching the news tonight and saw the clip with John Prescotts house
being invaded by the Greenpeace activists. I noticed the mock tudor features
of the house and the turret type structures and just thought WOW......where
can I get those.
And I always thought that fat piece of **** had no style.......
Off to builders merchants at the weekend to get meself some fake turrets to
put on our roof.......they always say if you can't beat em' join the
*******s.

I live not too far away from the man in question, and there are quite a
few houses with odd features like that in the area. There's one with
cinderella-style pointy turrets. Sutton is an old village which has been
slowly surrounded by council estates, it's a strange contrast.

Vote for Blair and it will be made compulsory - with grants.

Oh come on! Dear John is one of Our People, a rough diamond maybe but you
know he makes sense.

I wonder if he has a licence to crenellate ... and which Part will cover the
work ...

He's also reported as saying, "Wives shouldn't be there for terrorising."

That raises two questions:

a) what does he think wives ARe for?

b) who IS there for terrorising?

The whole story, as reported in the local paper, was quite humorous. The
Greenpeace people went to the (armed) police guarding the place and told
them what they were going to do, and the police allowed them in!! A
greenpeace spokesman was quoted as saying "The police were very
professional about it, and so were we."

Err, he is trying to get re elected locally so I suspect his 'staff'
could well be his local election organisers etc. along with his PA. As
for two Jags, get your fact correct, he owns one and the other is his
Ministerial car.

I'm not stating one way or the other my personal opinions about the
man or the protest above, just the (probable) facts.

Until I read this post, and it's pathetic follow-ups, I had not
recognised Mr. Prescott as being a model of sophistication and master
of the english language.

Thank you diMM (In name as in brain ) , Now I know that British
politicians are superior to some British electors.

and he's the only working class man in the cabinet. something about him
and his attitude suggest that maybe he'd be better off in the top job, sort
of like that nosher powell character in eat the rich.

er - I did have my tongue in my cheek ...

We love listening to him being interviewed on Today. We lie in bed,
absolutely rapt, and when he's finished we turn to each other and ask what
it was all about. Neither of us ever knows.

It's not just the odd gaff ... it would be pitiful if he weren't No 2.

If you can't understand Prescott then you can't understand most people in
the UK. He has a problem about his syntax when speaking; probably dyslexic
to some degree. I recall the Tory benches mocking him, which was a real low
thing to do to someone who has any sort of affliction, no matter how minor,
who were laughing about his syntax. He responded brilliantly about their
tax.

I'm voting for Tony. The only choice that matters.

They were mocking him because he's a member of the labour party, not because
he can't speak proper English.

Being dyslexic myself (and knowing many others who are) I can reassure
you that speaking incomprehensible ******** is not a well known trait of
dyslexia. Dyslexics lack lexical ability, not oral.

The word you are searching for is "inarticulate".

In fact many people who are dyslexic are very articulate, due often,
to being the only sure fire way to communicate with others !

You obviously did not see the TV slot. They were mocking his speech
affliction. They are lower than whale ****. His affliction is only slight
anyhow. They were also probably mocking his working class accent too, as he
doesn't sound like a queer.

I think the word is "dense".

Inarticulate people lack oral ability, not logical.

Why, thank you!

Although because of snipping I don't understand the context ...and no, I'm
not going back and I don't want anyone to explain. I'll just try to remember
for the next time it's used.

Probably now :-)

poverty and destitution with the others? Appalling.....

I presume by 'queer' you mean homosexual or gay. I thought New Labour were

You may find that you can construct messages with meaning if
you pay attention to the meanings of the words which you use.

If you do this you may be pleasantly surprised by finding that people
pay attention to what you write.

In a spirit of helpfulness, I suggest that you
consult a dictionary , if you have one.
if you don't have one then
consult a friend, if you have one.

Best wishes
