Prescott Alert! When it comes to news Today on Radio 4 is without a doubt the best, be it on radio or television and listening should be compulsory. It does mean of course that any and all politicians want to get on and make their point, especially with a General Election in the offing. But the government seems to believe that shipping John Prescott over to Broadcasting House for a chat with Humphries and Co helps their cause, but rather than engage in what could be considered ‘a discussion’ Prescott just turns up for a free coffee and a fight. The truth is he’s a political bully and does more damage to the Labour cause than a coach load of Alistair Campbells. Anyone who remembers the pre ‘97 Conservative government will recognise this kind of political arrogance which was key to their downfall. Don’t these idiots ever learn?
