Prescott accepts Lordship. FFS!
Former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has been made a peer in the Dissolution Honours List.
What a feckin hypocrite the man is.
He once indicated he would not follow in the footsteps of other former Labour figures who have left the Commons and joined the Lords - like Lords Kinnock and Hattersley - reportedly saying: "I don't want to be a member of the House of Lords. I will not accept it.
I though he wanted to abolish the House of Lords as well.
The man is a complete and utter useless ****.

I quite like the idea that a man from his background can reach these lofty heights - it gives you faith in the the idea that nothing is out of reach and, more importantly, that you don't necessarily have to work hard or be intelligent to get there!

He was chosen as the 'token' working class member of New Labour by the public school toffs to give them a veneer of credibility.
Just goes to show what they think a working class person is really like.

Yep, almost as good as Sue Nye being made a peer. Sue Nye I hear you say - who is she?
Well, you may have heard our dear old ex-PM asking 'whose idea was it to put me with that bigoted woman' or words to that effect...
I thought they were moving towards an elected upper house? Obviously not.
