So what is he and what does he stand for?

He's a former waiter that became multi-millionaire out of socialism yet can't afford to buy his own toilet seats.

I do not want to turn this into a political rant so I will leave it....I am sure the majority know the answer even the majority of our Dobbin friends without posting it on here.

Good summary

GLAD THE FAT GET LIVES ON YOUR SIDE OF THE POND !! causes this city enough grief without having to admit to living near him as well !! .

I've always enjoyed it when Prescott appeared on the telly, and came out with some ridiculous statement, and when challenged on it, simply repeated it word for word, just a bit louder!

Bull baffles brains everytime

He's a so-called socialist who had nothing but negative things to say about the House of Lords until the gravy train came his way, then he abondoned his principles like the fat, greedy waster he is. I don't care which RL team he supports, I'd still hate him if he was Peter Sterling's dad.

Isnt it plain to see though that as a politician he has no principles. They go out of the window with the job. He knocked the house of lords because thats what the voters wanted to hear. He has now taken his place there because he says he wants to keep them in line. Fundamentally the bloke has started with nothing and become very wealthy through telling people mostly what they want to hear. Is that smart or stupid?

I don't care whether he's smart or stupid - he's a thoroughly detestable human being.

whooooooosh..............

Politics aside, I can't stand the man and I am totally disgusted that he is trying to be seen as a R.L. supporter, he kept that quiet until only a couple of years, or so, ago. He is Welsh, was backed by the Coalminer's Union not the Maritime Union, In my opinion, an ex-waiter who has made a lot of money out being a 'Socialist'. The original thread title was better.

He can succesfully do that for me without me being an F.C. fan.
He is a bloody hypocrite.
