A battle of wits where one side is unarmed ?
Remember the old saying, never argue with a fool, because he'll drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience?
Never argue with someone who's answers you won't be able to make any sense out of :)
No, not a fair contest and not an important one either. Hague is the greatest parliamentary performer since the post-war generation (Foot,Healey, Powell etc) and, as much as I hate to admit it, that talent isn't worth a damn. A smile and a simper on Richard and Judy confers more political advantage.
SERO
Personally, I feel very sorry for Mr Hague.
Any advance on : " We are making steadfast progress ..it will take time to restore chaos and order."
might actually make a point of watching.I thought they'd banned hunting vermin with hounds
By the way, have you noticed that these days virtually everything vaguely Westminster-ish in the Evening Standard's Londoners Diary has appeared here first? Someone owes you a shandy or two ...
Don't underestimate Prescott. It won't be pretty but he will muddle and bluster his way through.
Nice one rigger mortice! :)
I'm hoping the front-benchers crowd around chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight!" ...

Like Bush, Prezza should no be misunderstimated.
Well not in the sense that one has spent the last nine years in a position of power and the other doing chat shows and writing for the News of the World. Oh and losing elections. By a country mile.
Face it sweetie, your precious Tories are far, far away from government.
Hague would have been a wonderful Prime Minister, but the dear British electorate far prefer incompetent, power-mad, anti-English, traitorous Scottish grinning Megalomaniacs.
Lets face it, we deserve all we get with Labour.
Anon 7.49
Er- some mistake here? I said Prezza should not be misunderestimated- meaning Prescott not Hague. As in the one who has not been losing elections, appearing on chat shows. Meaning I think JP may well get the better of it tomorrow.
Anonymous,yes Prescott has been in power for 9 years and I'm sure you would agree sweetie that he's done an absolutely awful job with that power.
Can anyone think of a more stupid person to achieve high office than Prescott?
Malcolm
I did not vote for his party and I am not going to argue with you, sweetie.
Malcolm - That Archer cunt.
Anon,
Archer may be a criminal but he's not as stupid as Prescott.
Which high office did Jeffery Archer Hold?
Erm...Norman Fowler, David Mellor, Virginia Bottomley, Norman Tebbit, Gyles Brandreth (imagine getting whipped by that), John Selwyn Gummer, Douglas Hogg, Edwina Currie, John Redwood: all thick as pig shit who should have been kept as far away from power as possible.
Trust me, Hague will be Prime Minister one day. Cameron in power will be exposed as a kerb crawling coke sniffer, and Hague will step up promptly. The public would love it too, chastened by the experience of defeat, older and wiser, a loser bounces back etc.
A loser who had his arse handed to him by Prescott in PMQs today. A remarkable come back for the big fella...
Yeah right anonymous.You're not too bright yourself are you?
hague was poised and witty...prescott inarticulate, incoherent and his attempt at statesmanship was like watching a gorilla trying to play a violin
And who do you reckon came across as most likeable?
Wilkins - only New Labour could make allowances for a politician who can't string a sentence together on the grounds of equal opportunities. What's the deal with Prescott? Are we meant to feel sorry for him somehow? Are we meant to understand that, behind all the ignorant blather, is a straight-forward man trying to make his way in world of double-talk. The idea is sentimental and you're a sucker to fall for it.
He deserved every bit of Hague's derision: he failed to answer the questions put to him and his attempts at wit would have been embarrassing in a playground.
That's Mr Wilkins to you.
I don't think you should feel sorry for him at all. I don't really see what reason there is to feel sorry for him. He's the fricking Deputy Prime Minister for God's sake - what are you?
He clearly isn't the most orally literate man in the world and he knows it. It doesn't mean he's stupid (he isn't) and it doesn't make him a bad minister (he isn't). It's this kind of smug, supercilious attitude which the average Joe on the street loaths about the Tories and I can all but guarantee that if you ask old Joe who he prefers out of Prescott or Hague, he'll say Prescott. Hague can use all of the wit and panache that he likes, but to our friend Joe he'll still be the foetus lookalike in a baseball cap that tanked so horrifically in 2001. Prescott only had to turn up and give as good as he got. As it turns out, he gave better.
Sucker or not, that's politics chum.
"He clearly isn't the most orally literate man in the world"
Is that the tinkle of glass shattering I hear?
I'm not sure he did "give as good as he got" did he? What he said over and over again was that he could say what he liked, how he liked, because he was in power and Hague had lost an election. Was this his excuse for not answering the questions too? Looks more like arrogant abuse of the mandate symptomatic of New Labour then. Almost as irritating as your patronising presumption in speaking on behalf of "old Joe".
