Two Jags, Petrolheads and Sour Grapes
The Labour party's green credentials received a big boost recently - following the general election.
'Two Jags' John Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister - has been racing around the media circuit these past few days - fueled by a revolutionary and apparently limitless new power supply - sour grapes.
Jeremy Clarkson - eat your heart out.
As most people know by now, Labour lost around 100 seats to the Tories - and ended up with only 29% of the popular vote.
Since then the Conservatives entered into a formal coalition with the Liberal Democrats - and then proceeded to form a government.
But Two Jags can't accept this - he wants you (and me) to know that Labour really won the election - because everyone expected them to get an even worse kicking.
The fact that Labour tried to outbid the Conservatives to stay in power - doesn't register with John Prescott - perhaps because it would make him look like a complete hypocrite.
Nor does it seem to matter that the Lib Dems actually formed a government with Labour in Scotland - for the first two terms of the Scottish Parliament.
The truth is that Labour was perfectly happy to run the Westminster Parliament with less than 40% of the popular vote - for many years.
And as far as anyone knows - John Prescott never whined and complained - or tried to reform the discredited voting system.
Oh no, because that would be like expecting Jeremy Clarkson - to get on his bike, assuming he has one.
