I have met John Prescott a couple of times through work, leaving aside any political preferences John Prescott is one of natures gentelemen. If he knows you he will always make time to speak to you and shake your hand.

Does he have to put the meat pies down before he shakes your hand?

He may be a gentleman but was a 'joke' as a Deputy PM and boy did he enjoy the trappings of his own success.

Definition of a socialist.



A man with a knife and fork, looking for a Capitalist with a meat pie.

John Prescott - oh yes, what a gent!!



I remember seeing those photographs of him in the press with his 'diary secretary'.



Gent - sorry, not my definition.

I,ve always thought of John Prescott as dreadful - then last week in London walking through John Lewis my friend and I spotted John Major and his wife (she following at a respectful distance!) and I realised why we ended up with somebody like John Prescott! Personally I think they are all as bad as each other once they get into power.

Sorry in my opinion seen better things crawl from under stones, and can never understand how he managed to get off with punching someone in public.

Lot,s of people deserve a good thump, but you know as well as I do that if you did thump them, you would not get away with it , yet he did.



May be a hand grenade would have been better than an egg.

I wouldn't cross him, Prescott has a jab nearly as lethal as Dr Harold Shipman did.................................
