Lordly Buffoon



Lord John Prescott is in the news again, fanning the flames of Labour's leadership crisis, by attacking his old boss Tony Blair for using 'abusive' language. 

Now this is a bit torch coming from old 'Two Jags' Prescott who got in hot water himself a little while back for describing a Labour colleague as 'Chumbawamba'.

 Here's how The Guardian reported the incident at the time: 

"The former deputy prime minister John Prescott has dismissed the shadow business secretary, Chuka Umunna, as “Chumbawamba” at a Labour party conference event.

"Lord Prescott made the remark during an interview with the comedian Matt Forde at the Comedy Store in Manchester, after he was asked how he viewed modern Labour politicians such as the Streatham MP.

"Forde asked: “Do you find it difficult? … when you are watching people do speeches, like … Chuka Umunna?”

"Prescott replied: “They can call him Chumbawamba.”

 Childish and silly, I know, and mildly racist as well in my opinion, but that's why so many people question Lord Prescott's ability to fart and chew gum at the same time.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
