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".<BR/><BR/>Frank LibelStep in to my office Wilkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143721945570372502006-03-30T13:32:00.000+01:002006-03-30T13:32:00.000+01:002006-03-30T13:32:00.000+01:00"He clearly isn't the most orally literate man in the world"<BR/><BR/>Is that the tinkle of glass shattering I hear?Guido Fawkes Esq.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15091277669318213298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143721800080231832006-03-30T13:30:00.000+01:002006-03-30T13:30:00.000+01:002006-03-30T13:30:00.000+01:00That's Mr Wilkins to you. <BR/><BR/>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? <BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>Sucker or not, that's politics chum.Delbert Wilkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143717915713965072006-03-30T12:25:00.000+01:002006-03-30T12:25:00.000+01:002006-03-30T12:25:00.000+01:00Wilkins - 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. <BR/><BR/>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.frank libelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143710874724945062006-03-30T10:27:00.000+01:002006-03-30T10:27:00.000+01:002006-03-30T10:27:00.000+01:00And who do you reckon came across as most likeable?Delbert Wilkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143651840791667362006-03-29T18:04:00.000+01:002006-03-29T18:04:00.000+01:002006-03-29T18:04:00.000+01:00hague was poised and witty...prescott inarticulate, incoherent and his attempt at statesmanship was like watching a gorilla trying to play a violinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143650301254573702006-03-29T17:38:00.000+01:002006-03-29T17:38:00.000+01:002006-03-29T17:38:00.000+01:00Yeah right anonymous.You're not too bright yourself are you?malcolmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212152.post-1143644062282129492006-03-29T15:54:00.000+01:002006-03-29T15:54:00.000+01:002006-03-29T15:54:00.000+01:00A loser who had his arse handed to him by Prescott in PMQs today.
