Ted will know Vic Flick. I don't suppose many would have liked John Prescott but he was a strong character, outspoken in his opposition to rail privatisation and other dubious policies. Oh, and he liked jazz. Was he called “two jabs” or “two Jags” ?

Vic was a session musician who played on hundreds of records including the original James Bond theme. Here is a fun five minutes of Vic selling his guitar on Pawn Stars.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Prescott was working at Admiralty Arch...I think it was in this office that he got a b-job off his secretary. Not a nice bloke at all.
As the Arch was being refurbed the Construction Team held a weekly review meeting. Also there were representatives of the client/Government who were still using the building during the redecoration etc. The area was scaffolded and from a H&S viewpoint areas were taped off preventing access. Prescott had been seen and asked repeatedly to recognise the tape, but insisted on ignoring the warnings and passing through dangerous working areas under the scaffolding. The site staff raised it again and asked that Prescott be advised again to recognise the tapes and use the appropriate walkway. The following week he did exactly the same simply throwing up V Signs to the workers there.
When you consider the bloke became a shop steward and later an MP and further into Government based on the principle of improving H&S at sea it seems rather ironic that when he thought no one was looking and he was above the rules he chose to ignore them.
I guess if your going to be a professional politician thats the kind of character you need.
He did have 2 Jags. As a Jaguar owner myself, that always rankles a bit as you can tell

I dunno, seems a bit small fry compared to the outcomes of some of the recent inquiries if you ask me.
Not a fan of a lot of Prescott’s politics but pulling out that anecdotal example seems like exceptionalism to me.

Jesus Christ, the guy's dead - give him/his family/us a break! There'd have been blue murder on here if you'd come on with sh*t-stirring stories about Ray Jones' bad driving etc., so what's the difference? He was a politician, so could be a bit of a tw*t - and in other news, bears defaecate in the woods!
(He does seem to have been a bit of a buffoon, but I quite liked it when he gave that egg-throwing bloke (was it?) a slap a la Brian Clough.)
