The man is a Bumbling fool.
now that he's retired, he is free to admit that he's just an ordinary man, doing his best, with weaknesses and imperfections.
the people still at the top pretend they're superhuman.
that dreadful Thatcher woman would never admit to a failing, even after she'd been booted out.

At least maggie was leader, the only I've known in my life time.
Why not? For a man to have risen from the fairly humble ranks of a seagoing ships steward, to the high offices which he has held, must mean that he has the capability which, I am sure, is coupled with that all important compassion for those, whose voices, not many years ago, would not have been heard because of the iniquitous "class" system. The rights and privileges which we enjoy today, only came about because people of his type wanted to improve the lot of their fellow men. High political office used to be the prerogative of the old Etonian,or those with the money to buy power and position but, in my opinion, a man, or woman, schooled in the world of hard knocks and hard work, has the same, if not more, right to be considered for those high offices, and which require much more humility and humanity than the humbug which usually accompanies them.

She was horrible, but she shook this country up and it was better place when she left.
yes i agree much better once she left and labour had cleared the mess she'd left up
Because, as someone has already mentioned, he's a bumbling, cheating, deceiptful, fool.
He was sacked from that office, which in my book negates any potential credit due to him for getting there in the first place.
Nonsense. Have you not heard of the Peter Principle?
What absolute claptrap. You're deluding yourself.
The very woman whom everyone on this topic appears to despise did more to promote a classless entrepreneurial meritocracy that any other leader, and The Labour Party (with exception of its "New" incarnation) has always given power to the working class.
Oh really. I can hardly wait for you to justify that stupid opinion.
Leaving aside the fact that John Prescott has displayed no desire to improve anyone's lot other than his own, have you heard of the Second World War? Have you heard of Alan Turing and Tommy Flowers? Between them they saved the country in a way that no government cabinet could ever achieve, even if you had twenty John Prescotts and a reinforced floor, so if you want to talk about contribution to today's rights and privileges then put down The Ladybird Book of Politics and pick up some history books.
Enoch Powell, Harold Wilson, Ted Heath, Tony Benn... some of the most brilliant minds in UK politics, and none of them went to Eton.
I cannot think of any post I've ever seen on the forum, even including Slogger's racist caveman rants, with which I've disagreed more, and which I've believed contains nothing but pointless and misleading hot air.
What this country needs is another Margaret Thatcher, someone with balls, unlike our present self serving incumbents.
