John Prescott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Prescott held various posts in Labour's shadow cabinet, but his career was secured by an impassioned closing speech in the debate at the Labour Party Conference in 1993 on the introduction of "one member, one vote" elections for the party leadership. Prescott made a gaffe in January 1998 when he declared in a radio interview that "the green belt is a Labour achievement, and we mean to build on it". Prescott's own assertion has been that the visits did not involve any discussion of uses of, or planning permission for, the Dome, and that the only topic they discussed was the career of William Wilberforce, the campaigner against slavery (and also against gambling), a predecessor of Prescott as a Hull MP. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Prescott   (3677 words)

New Statesman - Politics - Anne Perkins praises John Prescott   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) John Leslie Prescott, Deputy Prime Minister, entitled since May to draw a state pension, has acquired an unfamiliar lustre as a politician with human values. Prescott, MP for Hull East for 33 years, is said to regard himself as Blair's Bevin, the authentic voice of the worker in the ear of the professional, middle-class Prime Minister. Prescott, despite being directly elected deputy leader by the party, has appeared to be Deputy Prime Minister (a prime ministerial appointment) solely on sufferance, the party's comfort blanket, dismissed by the Whitehall gossips as a failure as a departmental minister, always on the transfer list. www.newstatesman.com /200308250004   (1063 words)

Scotsman.com News - Opinion - Lock up your daughters... Prescott's in charge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) That a man such as Prescott should be in charge of any country - he would be a non-starter even in Equatorial Guinea - is testimony to the ongoing collapse of parliamentary democracy in the developed world. It should be borne in mind that the regime of which Prescott is deputy leader has imposed upon ordinary people in the workplace a reign of PC terror, where the most innocent remarks or gestures between the sexes can lead to arraignment before a tribunal and loss of employment. If Prescott has been a "bit more honest" then perhaps, if that is your view, you should have said "a bit less dishonest" but I still disagree with you. news.scotsman.com /opinion.cfm?id=1104702006   (1464 words)
