RIP John Prescott

[bluethrunthru]

You always knew what he believed in and he wasnt afraid of saying it, even if you didn't agree that's a diminishing quality in a politician these days.

A good innings which is all you can ask for really.

Sorry for putting this in the Angela Raynor thread.

Bit of class please gents.

and frankly the bad bit - the dementia - was not drawn out too long - its like would you want to score a ton like Chris Tavere or like Ben Stokes?

Can't believe nobody's posted it yet.

Farmers protesting again...

when Rayner passes she will receive similar platitudes, its just a shame when they're alive its just constant abuse, no doubt Prescott received - more so for politicians nowadays online

It's pure misogyny from some.

Prescott gave us the revived Welsh Highland Railway, against the wishes of numerous Nimbys, including the National Park. For that alone, he will always be a hero to me.

His map for the Channel Tunnel had train lines running direct from Paris to Manchester - with a branch to Hull!

Shame, I liked him. For sure, he had a chip on both shoulders and could be brash, but overall had a good moral compass. Something most all politicians don’t have anymore.
