Taking the P...

John Prescott rounds on his critics. Is this the supreme example of taking the piss? He should have been with me trying to get people out to vote last Thursday if he wanted some critics to round on. People who have voted Labour for ever were complaining about Charles Clarke and the Home Office... but it was as nothing compared to the bile they poured on the head of our venerable Deputy Prime Minister. Badmouthing Heseltine is not the answer. Labour people knew Heseltine was a tart without having to be told by John Prescott. In every other job that I can think of, shagging your junior staff in works time and on works premises usually means dismissal, and that's what everyone else knows too.
