Cowboy's Son Cause Problems for Geronimo
Geronimo specialises in working for public sector clients. Our knowledge and understanding of this sector is current, sophisticated and undiluted. We appreciate that the sector must display openness, transparency, accountability and evaluation, and we ensure we work in this way.
David Prescott admits he got a Commons pass to do 'media monitoring' work for his father during the three weeks Prezza was supposed to be running the country. He says he handed back the pass to Commons officials last Thursday. David says "I took time off from work to assist John Prescott in monitoring the media." The whole family are liars. The DPM has press officers and SpAds with nothing better to do than play croquet. It stinks, since David Prescott is a spin-merchant for a public sector specialist lobbying firm that has grown fat on the backs of taxpayers. Lobbyists are the last people who should be given commons passes.

nothing wrong with being a spin-merchant. Mr Fawkes is a spin-merchant.
~~~~for a public sector specialist lobbying firm that has grown fat
what's wrong with commercial success. Does Mr Fawkes aspires to be a commercial failure?
~~~~on the backs of taxpayers.
cannot see why the public sector should not use the services of a lobbying firm.
~~~~Lobbyists are the last people who should be given commons passes.
wrong again. it is the terrorists who are the last people.
The last person who should have access to the commons? Prezza. Although George Galloway comes a close second.

You are David Prescott and I claim my £5.

Who knows
As far as I know Mr Fawkes isn't paid out of my taxes so who care what he does?
And let us not forget the antics of the other Prescott boy "advising" property developers, people who can potentially make vast sums based on decisions made by the dept headed by smallcock
The boys are obviously chips off the the old blockhead.
Or should that be chipolata?
I had the misfortune to come into contact with Prezza in 1984. He was full of shit then and he's full of shit now. It seems that it runs in the family.
Wake up and smell the shit Tony Bliar...
Geronimo?
Has anyone else noticed that lefty entities with absolutely nothing to offer always clothe themselves in glamourous American names that have bugger all to do with their product?
Geronimo? For a lobbying company for the Palace of Westminster, in Britain, 8,000 miles away from Geronimo's territory? Why? Clothing themselves in phony glory. Fake. Like everything else the dingy little socialists do.
I always like Verity's comments, something to do with expecting that she (he) knows what's coming next...
What she (he...hope not?... maybe...) can answer now is what job prescott will get when he is gone.
I'll start the ball rolling - something in 'Europe', bullshit, huge cars and expenses, lots of committees, no work except turn up for a meeting and dictate a report, in fact, the usual crap from people who never ran a proper business that we get from this bunch of freeloaders.
I wouldn't want prescott anywhere near any the proper businessmen I work with, they would see him a mile off.
Answers on a postcard the size of a horse please.

By the time Prescott and this shabby lot of freeloaders leave the stage, our wonderful country will be bankrupt. Prescott will have no need to work, his pension and offshore accounts will ensure a lovely standard of living for him, his wife, his mistresses and his bits on the side somewhere in sunnier climes. Well away from the rest of us.
"Never in the field of British Politics has no much been taken by so few"
Europe's out for Prescott. He can't speak any known language, so shoehorning him into a sinecure is out of the question. Also, even the Europeans have standards. Also, he's way past European retirement age. No, there will be no job for lard-ass in Europe. Or Britain. The fat, ignorant, greedy lout has reached the end of the gravy-train line. "All change!"
He can't live overseas because he can't even speak his native language, which a lot of Europeans can understand well enough. But not as he speaks it.
He'll have to stick to where he came from and make sly deals on the side with local businessmen at important meetings in fish restaurants, promising to use his "influence", and being the butt of jokes.
It warms the cockles of one's heart, really.
Verity, you have warmed the rest of the evening for me!
Mrs Scroblene and I will now open a bottle of Chateau de Chastellain, and when you tell the kids what really happened with that bloke...they won't believe you!
Strapworld, you're in charge!

If that were the case then please explain Lord Kinnock.
Another oaf and one furthermore who has announced his intention to buy a house in my "hood" to be near the rest of his parasite family.
Talking of useless parasites, has anybody seen a photo of Dave fraternising with ratsafarians at the Notting hill carnival yet or is he waiting untill tomorrow for his photo opportunity?

Verity, Willie Nelson must have been thinking about Blubber the Incoherent when he wrote this one:
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery,
From being alone too long.
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare,
Knowin' well that your best days are gone.
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen,
I let the words of my years fade away.
Old worn-out saddles, and 'old worn-out memories,
With no one and no place to stay.
It almost makes you feel sorry for the lump of lard. Almost, but not quite.
Pins and needles clibling up the bones of spines Cathedrals ever high.

"Pins and needles clibling up the bones of spines Cathedrals ever high."
Sounds reasonable, though I wouldn't have put it quite that way meself.
Willie writes about cowboys - independent of spirit, self-sufficient, true to their own code. Not fat, loud-mouthed ignorant crooks stealing from the taxpayer.
Did Fatty Prescott ever pay duty on that £20,000 worth of Western goods he brought back into the country without declaring? I understand this is a crime.
Could someone call Customs & Excise to confirm that he has paid, or ask what action is being taken against him if he has not?
Me woman Verity is vexed,
Her need to lay back an tink ov arrr dave in im flowery batty boy pants, that sort her out.
Me thinks thou speak'st verily o' Verity, Master Hitchens; but surely 'tis arrr JOHN of whom she should dream.
'Our knowledge is (...) undiluted.'
Does that mean 'We have very long liquid lunches'?
Were the Son-o-Prezza meetings in Admiralty House? Guido, can you ask for an appointment to see inside that beautiful Grade I listed historic edifice? (I mean Ad. Hse, not Prezza.) They may have to say yes - my guess is that it has charitable trust status and contains important national heirlooms. (Apart from fat ol' General Custer and his sidekick Geronimo.) We just have to find what piece of Chippendale furniture or antique Chinese vase is being kept there, and demand to see it. On scholarly grounds of course. Guido, take your magnifying glass along, but leave the matches at home.
Verity,
"Willie writes about cowboys - independent of spirit, self-sufficient, true to their own code."
Yup.
"Not fat, loud-mouthed ignorant crooks stealing from the taxpayer."
But that's a pretty good definition of the British slang meaning of 'cowboy'. (look it up if you're not familiar) And as it happens, the words quoted happen to fit Blubber the Incoherent to the tee.
" The whole family are liars."
Steady on, old boy. I don't remember Pauline lying about anything. More sinned against than sinning is the phrase that springs to mind.
As a former Commons passholder myself, I can confirm that they are not given out lightly, though genuine family members of MPs (not Ministers as such: all Commons Ministers are also MPs) get a 'fast track' (there are certain Commons facilities such as the 'family room' which would make little sense otherwise, and MPs' spouses have the right to use the Commons gym - which, incidentally - neither Prezza nor Pauline appear ever to have done.)
HOWEVER, there is also a rule that these facilities are NOT to be abused, especially not for lobbying or commercial purposes by spouses or sprogs (I myself was always very careful to observe this one) , and it seems that Prezza Jnr. could have broken this particular rule. The Serjeant-At-Arms' office is the correct place to raise a complaint,as I believe has been done.
I understand that a similar rule applies in the Lords, though there Black Rod is the Guardian of the Rules (and the passes) rather than the Serjeant-at-Arms.
How soon before Young Leo gets a pass and a salary for helping out during his hols (when he's not on a freebie in some rich bloke's villa of course)?
They certainly don't do shame do they ? One of the Sundays revealed that Sir Cliff of villa fame's relationship with the blagging blairs started when mrs b asked him for free tickets to a concert !!

The really cheeky bit was that it was a Bee Gees concert.

You were lucky.
We 'ad t' mek do wi' Lambrusco, and it were Aldi own brand Lambrusco.
John Prescott will get a job 'writing' a column for a downmarket newspaper, probably the Sport.

Prezza can do better than that,Tv is always ready for another C list celeb.Celebrity Love Island,Celebrity Fat Club and even "Do I Look good Naked?",just a few shows that the fat lad from oop north could make his mark on.
I'm intrigued. Sort of. What good will a Commons pass have done Prescott junior for the last three weeks when the place has been in recess, exactly?
BJ has a point about Parliament being in recess when Prezza jnr has his pass. But many of the facilities are still open during August, like the Terrace Bar and the Churchill Room restaurant which could be used to impress corporate PR clients (there was a case a couple of years ago when a Tory MP did precisely this, and got rapped over the knuckles hard for doing so.)
Most of the Portcullis House facilities, and also the Library, are also open. Presumably Prezza jnr also had the use of his dad's office in the Commons, free post and IT, and very possibly his dad's secretary and researcher (assuming the former hasn't been screwed silly...)
In short, a "chip" off the old block........
I happen to know that Prezza junior is happily married to someone whose office is just along Millbank. But yes, all good points, Lambethlad.
PR consultancies are not lobbyists. These accusations are from the world of spin themselves by carefully interchanging words as suits.
Prezza's survival reminds me of the cartoon, which ancient bloggers may remember, showing Tricky Dickie Nixon with his then and soon to be disgraced Vice President Spiro T Agnew standing just behind him. The caption: "no-one's going to shoot me with him next in line". With Gordon looming through the mist like a forbidding Munroe, no PM with his marbles still in place is going to want a credible DPM.
