Life is like a crate of chocolate!
So says John Prescott, ex-deputy leader of New Labour and recently some guy on a bus who also writes paranoid fantasies in the Guardian.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Labour along comes Prescott committing his trademark error, opening his fat mouth. Not content with stuffing £4,500 of food down it, courtesy of the British taxpayer, he now wants us to believe Gordon Brown is the victim in this hilarious tragedy.
Honestly though, what an arse the man is. I didn’t hear him complaining when Murdoch threw his weight behind the New Labour project in 1997. And I must have missed his impassioned speeches about the sinister surveillance state his buddies have subjected us all to. Invasion of privacy only becomes an issue when his mates are in the spotlight.
Well, if Gordon Brown “has nothing to hide he has nothing to fear”, wouldn’t you say? Isn’t that the message New Labour pushed as it marched from one rights violation to the next?
Using dirty tricks to gain ratings and political influence? Who would do such a thing, I wonder? The hypocrisy is astounding.
What Murdoch’s Sky News did today was just as bad as his paper’s phone-hacking. It was a breach of privacy. It was underhand. And it was done in the pursuit of ratings and political influence. – John Prescott, Bigot ‘gaffe’ is nothing but a Murdoch plot
Sorry John but even though I agree your ex-buddy Murdoch is a monstrous shit, on this occasion I have to disagree with your paranoid delusions. It appears even your die-hard and never-learn supporters feel the same way judging by their comments on your article.
It wasn’t Rupert Murdoch who smiled into Gillian Duffy’s face one minute and then insulted her when her back was turned. It wasn’t James Murdoch’s job to check for hot mics. And it isn’t Andy Coulson’s hand that has steered Labour’s campaign from one incompetent disaster to the next.
This stew has been cooked by a failed party that has failed the nation and is running a failed campaign and will soon be flushed down the drain by a fed-up electorate. Murdoch simply served your own mess up on a platter. Maybe you can ask Mandy to slap a Sky News guy around in the next press conference?
Tuck in but try to keep the bill down this time. In case you haven’t heard New Labour’s disastrous economic policies have left us all seriously short of cash.
After the feast perhaps we can enjoy a little poetic justice. Only yesterday I wondered how Labour’s nauseating “cancer” smear would pan out in the long run. Cheap ratings and political influence indeed.
Will this be the absolute low point in their frighteningly incompetent and morally bankrupt campaign? Or can they go lower? I’m betting the latter and have another political cliché at the ready, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” – Me, yesterday (LOL)
Just desserts are being served and aren’t they just delicious?

A fricking ad for that man-woman….Ann Coulter?!! Princess of Darkness?
Look at the size of that Adam’s apple! There’s a reason they don’t show it.
Say it ain’t so
LOL!
Hannity made me do it! Sorry.
Those are contextually related geographically targeted adverts (I don’t pick ‘em Google does). So the Google robot must think this blog’s a raving right-wing loony tribute to Sarah Palin, or something. Perhaps I’ve overdone it on the anti-Labour stuff – hating their living guts hasn’t paid off in this one instance!
Now I’ve mentioned Palin US viewers are probably going to start seeing Rush Limbaugh. Grovelling apologies in advance.
While I agree with practically everything you say in this article… I do believe Prescott deserves some measure of compassion as he claims to suffer from an eating disorder… Anorexia isn’t it?
