Agreed - but what disappoints me so much is the fact that New Labour were elected on the back of a massive campaign against the sleaze that was rife in the Tory Government, spouting off self-righteously about what a clean and sleaze-free Party they were and even quicker than the last lot, are now being exposed as not only no different but probably even worse!

No wonder we have such apathy amonst the voting public - what difference does it actually make whether they vote or not?
 
The sleeze will always be there, the sex, the scandal, the egg throwing and the like but if people stop voting then we'll get the BNP in which 99% of the nation does not want - if they get in the whole country will go down the swanny.
 
Interesting point made on that Politics show with Andrew Neil and Portillo last night was that none of Gordon Brown`s guys and gals have been in any kind of trouble.

Also, reading the paper`s today it would appear that Prescott`s attraction to this woman was just that he`s a man, she`s had nine affair`s apparently :what:
 
I was nearly over the trauma caused by imagining Dave Mellor without his clothes on (let alone wriggling around in conjoined ecstasy) John Major and David Blunkett ditto, and along comes this appalling image! :o

Why doesn't the tv news end with one of those pious signature lines: "If you have been affected by any of the issues raised by this broadcast... "

I think my question is even more relevant following the re-shuffle

What will John Prescott be doing to earn his salary and benefits?
 
He has lost his department. How very careless. Maybe he mistook them for a steak and kidney pie...
 
I've just seen on Have I Got News For You that the Mail On Sunday deleted "in the interest of good taste" the part of Tracey Temple's diaries about her affair with John Precott that referred to the right honourable member's member as being like a "two inch cocktail sausage".

When the Daily Star found out they published a very helpful guide to their readers which showed an actual size cocktail sausage alongside a measuring tape.

"There are now 700,000 fewer children living in poverty than in 1996/97.
The number of pensioners living in poverty has also fallen by at least 50%."

That happens when you lower the poverty line John. See it used to be annual household income less than 20k, now it's 15k - thus cutting poverty :)

No, I'm afraid you are wrong there. The measuremant of poverty in the UK is based on Households Below Average Income (HBAI) statistics. These are derived from an analysis of the Family Resources Survey. It uses relative incomes on both before housing costs and an after housing costs basis. The after housing costs measure provides the best indicator of disposable income.

The HBAI adopts a figure of 60% of median income as a proxy for the poverty line.
 
She, too, was unable to see Pigscott in other than porcine terms, then?

"Yes," continued the ex-Page 69 beauty, "he has a wiener like a, er, well, a wiener, and his buns are a bit lardy, his hair's dead greasy and he's regularly pie-eyed. Not that I minded, really, even if he has a jelly belly, tits the size of watermelons, and eyes like raisins. He does have some good points - his skin's like a peach, and while he can be a bit of an old ham, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. All in all, he's been a good egg, and I hope he'll continue to bring home the bacon in his job... "

(Enough already with the culinary references. I'm off for a quick roll. Ed.)
 
Just watching Sunday AM with Andrew Marr interviewing the shadow chancellor George Osbourne, and the guy looks and sounds exactly like Cameron. Have the Tories got a factory somewhere to turn these automans out? At least Brown and Prescott have that unique look about them.
