John Prescott's response to the attack on Peter Mandleson

[Jekyllbate]

Do something? Why don't you do something productive, you useless lazy, money grabbing, gluttonous, self-serving oaf. In all your years in office you just became fatter, richer but served no purpose to the public.

If you thought that egg was blood it didn't stop you from lashing out, you violent moron. If it had been green custard thrown at you, you've of licked it all off.

You didn't care about mandelson when you compared him to a toad. You odious small-minded git.

[bennyboy606]

if prescott wasnt a politician he would have been arrested for punching that protestor

[arthur1411]

Still defending your bumchum now? Baron Hypocrite of Kingston-upon-Hull.

[Wabeberu]

I think it was great when Prescott lashed out. He made out he was tough. See if you can find a clip where you see the other bloke having to be pulled off him.

[Buraboi]

It's not appectable to assault public people? But is it appectable for public people to use all of our money on them selves? No ! So well done girl who shot it in his face

[fizzyfox]

She said on a TV interview that she told him it was custard as she did it, so no mental torture there. Maybe if you actually represented the people (which what Democracy is) and not the corporations, this sort of thing wouldn't happen, would it.

[jonathanburr89]

no its not an assault its a false flag!

[Mr1SXM]

mandelson is a jewish zionist pig. along with the miliband brothers. making out they are going to do something about the israeli UK passport ID theft. Never trust the likes of Madelson nor David Miliband. Once I heard he wqas dealing with it I never expected to hear any more. His family live in israel.

[dylans8]

its totally unacceptable to buy mock tudor beams and toilet seats not to mention the 400 pounds a month food expenses You cost the taxpayer a fortune when you were riding around in limos and staying in grace and favour flats and you did nothing except referee brown v blair playing croquet at chequers >deserted your constituents when you had an affair nowhere to be seen for weeks

[NAZIPENIS101]

Fuck Off fatty. Mandelson is an evil bastard. He deserves much worse.

[getalifeplease100]

Alright for these scum bags to murder innocent people in Iraq, ruin peoples lives witht their policies and live in the lap of luxury of our hard earnt tax payers money...but think its bad if somone throws something back at them. They really are the foulest scum that walks this planet. This man is a fat disgusting pig. How do they sleep at night with all that blood and ruin on their hands.

[azto19]

I wish it was bloody acid. What is not acceptable is the way these joey's get away with real crimes every day. If i was getting away with this kind of shit i would expected more than an egg in the face or some custard,

[quinndexter]

Makes a change from having a load of spunk shot over his ugly gob!

[kuel76]

stop eating pies, you really do seem to of rotted your brain with all that pastry

[dylans8]

your a disgrace go forth and dont return

[ttheb64]

if it had been a heap load of spunk he would have lapped it up 'quicker than u fat man 'prescott you never realy did have any values and any morals and god only know's? why you got any votes ' just shows how this country went to the DOGS

[dingbatsteve]

I wonder how many takes he had to speak so fluently..!! To think this fat bastard was once deputy P.M......defies belief. He should have been prosecuted for thumping that guy ! Never in our history have we heaped so much money on such useless piles of shit as this rotten to the core government. Lets face it...would u employ this wanker???

[newall7]

shut your mouth  gobshite

[rnm1011]

Fat twat should have some bloody ethics, fucking apologist for the shits in government. If they had the respect of the people, they wouldn't get it. Not one ounce of honour, humility, discretion, honesty, moral courage, truthfulness etc between them.

[dylans8]

shouldnt you be buying a few more mock tudor beams with our money or maybe a few more toilet seats or piles of food

[xxeternalbeautyxx]

Prescott you're such an over dramatic girl.

No one was arrested for pelting eggs at Nick Griffin, which equally was an assault.

Plus stones were used.

Get off your high horse and accept that, in a democracy, either the rules apply to everyone or they apply to no one.

PS - Hauge ripped you to pieces at the despatch box, it's my favourite PMQs and I watch it roughly three times a weak. How you did fall!

[kaferere]

I'm sure the children in Palestine would swap places with you having a fresh egg thrown in your face as opposed to a fresh grenade thrown into their living room you heartless, selfish glutton.

[TheNO999]

Shut up,

you're the one that should be arrested.

you fat f**k

[Superpieep]

Shuttup John, you pansy.

Wondered if you'd been cut, Christ, and you're a member of our ruling class? Truly embarassing.

[morearrows]

Superpieep; What are you talking about? Rulling class?? presscott?? it's a fat mindless degenerate!! I wouldn't let it rull rats in a sewer! This bastard is a traitor, voted in by the lowest and least able creatures on the planet and used it's time to cause massive damage to Britain and Europe! as for the unelected pervert mandleson, the girl should have hit it with a shovel!

[morearrows]

Ps mandleson is nothing more than another damnd faggot of the loony left! hopefully the dizzy bastards of this once able country have had about enough of you and your treason to focus their votes on one party, enough to see you lot gon, along with the horror of the united states of europe!! ,,Go on the nationalists!!

[morearrows]

presscott you fat repugnant piece of vermin, the nest of petty criminals, traitors and pathological liars you vile bastards called a government have done more damage to Europe than the bloody germans ever did, you unspeakable creatures polluted Scotland with shit awful cheap housing in a desperate bid to destroy the country and turn it into something moronic enough t vote for you, Id rather be dead than do any such thing! remember what happened to Mussolini?

[ukeuro23]

so when you thought you'd been cut the first thing you did was assault the nearest person?

[briklay]

it should have been acid that was pored on him fucking gay parasite cunt

[Yehbytheway]

The deputy prime minister has closed more schools and built on more green space than the tories.

You are a disgusting.

A union bully boy trying to save his own career.

Disgusting.

Building houses on school fields.

Disgusting.

Is this bastard on twitter cause want to have a go at have im.

[shaunsheep01]

Calm down John and sit down on one of your two new toilets seats, that we the British tax payers, coughed up for you.

Croquet anyone?

[toonged]

Just listen to that illiterate lardass. He should be nicked for taking money under false pretences from the taxpayers, and for crimes against the english language. What a total failure and what a total croquet playing hypocrite. Time for a lard sandwich you fat bastard!!!

[dezsanderson]

Normally when Prescott's lips are moving, its because he's eating Lard sandwiches or trying to kiss fat lasses. Why fat lasses ??? They can't runaway from him.

[123cameronc]

tosser

[TomNortherner]

Assault? It was custard!

Jesus, John, all these protesters are trying to do is help you labour ministers (less for you nowadays, of course) with your puddings. Sort of like... a political version of ready steady cook just without the cooking and less of a warning. I'm thinking a pint of sour milk is coming up next or a trifle.

[BLAKESTONED]

He mentioned the egg! I love Prescott, he's such a hardass!

[cllrkeithmartin]

Its never acceptable to use violence to make a political point.

[mustymodo]

thats right violence to make a political point is wrong,,

so 600,000 iraqs being bombed and shot to death is wrong,

500LB bombs blair dropped on lebanon was violence and wrong, doing it for political points from bush was wrong,,

threatening iran for political points is wrong,,

threatening korea for political points is wrong,

fiddling hundreds of thousands of pounds in mp's expenses, while making people who lost their jobs because of labour survive on a pittance is wrong,

see you at the polls

[mixmatosis]

Mandelson spends £2000 of taxpayers money on flowers for his dept every month. They have now wasted even more money on arresting her. Why don't the police actually do their jobs for once and arrest every single politician/lord/banker who has illegally fiddled their expenses and/or sleazed their way out of paying the correct amount of taxes.

[ttheb64]

shut up prescot u moaning mongol.. this geezer deserved more than just custard whe he slags the british worker off he is gonna get more than he deserves .. people like you and that asshole mandy have destroyed the english rule .. i just wish it had been the biggest dog turd she could have found .. that would have most suited this piece of shite

[arisuta2]

JoeRamboUK:

You don't sound much like Rambo, his mum maybe. The thing is that these people aren't doing their job or any job. They have mismanaged the country into the worst depression since the 1930s and created a society so far from normal that black is white and up is down. They led us into two wars we can't win for no good reason, (well, to protect the heroin supplies and get oil), and they deserve the full depths of our emnity and hatred.

Saor Alba

[sarahnewt]

very succinctly put - it is encouraging to hear from someone who can see what's going on in a sea of whining ignorance...

[MrAlphabet1]

oh dear x 5556346367635

cc in rant mode!!

*high fives!* :D

[JoeRamboUK]

If you like them or not do you think its fair for people doing there job to get treated like that?

[curecaterpillar]

is it fair for them to be in public office, paid for with my taxes and be allowed to defraud the public? Is it fair for one of them to hold that office yet not be elected to it by the public? NO!

I want his mansion.....I bloody well pay for it so i want it.

[quinndexter]

Feck off prescott you fat feck

[sofalover]

It should have been acid, they have ruined the UK for generations.

One unelected shirt lifter with a melted face would be a small piece of the real justice they deserve.

[alexd2007uk]

Tags for this video should be: "Jabba the Hut", "fat bastard", "secretary shagger" and "gin and tonic!".

[g3ftw]

Prescott you are a joke.

[curecaterpillar]

oh......and yes, people should be arrested for assault........so why weren't you then when you punched that bloke who threw the raw egg at you? Double standards methinks.

[curecaterpillar]

Prescott is another corrupt 'do as i say' idiot of which this Government is full of them. Mandelson and him should be publicly flogged. Vile creatures both. Mr Prescott........you paid your council tax this year yet? I hope you have cos the rest of this country are bloody well struggling to survive while you swan around in your two jags.

[britishresistance08]

Time to vote BNP and show these clowns the door.

[fortnum2710]

Prescott. You are such an ill-mannered, inarticulate buffoon.

[mixmatosis]

Ahhh so pussy faced Mandelson has got a slight irritation on his face. Thanks to you 2jags, Leila has been arrested, more tax payers money down the drain because of Neo Labour.

[jifkitchen]

shut up! how would you feel? if some twat threw stuff in your face unprovoked?

[mixmatosis]

If I was an unelected corrupt money grabbing tax evading Lord, I would expect nothing less. He deserves a lot lot more...

[silverstartrucker]

I don't like the man but I have to agree. It could have been acid.

[britishresistance08]

Vote BNP

Get the unelected parasites noses out of the trough.

[nferguso]

I would rather vote Labour than BNP. But then, I look at the person and not the colour of their skin.

[myY0UTUBEchanneI]

Idiot. It's people like you that have broken Britain. Political correctness and fear of a little egg or green custard should be part of your daily life. The Government should fear the people. Not the other way round. And loose some weight.

[rob2859]

well said

[divinacomedias]

If it had been a few bombs on some trains... she'd have been guaranteed impunity.

Guacamole though, BIG NO NO.

[divinacomedias]

Who said the guacamole was safe????

[divinacomedias]

Humpty-Dumpty has a great weight on his conscience it seems.

OMG THEY'RE AFTER YOU HUMPTY! AND THEY GOT GUACAMOLE... RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

[divinacomedias]

Aye, a very rare specimen of the egg yoke blood lines.

If you look very closely, you can see it shape-shift into Humpty-Dumpty!!!

[divinacomedias]

0:40

[divinacomedias]

I am almost sure Mandy and Prescott share the same PR group.

[jman375]

Should have been arrested for assault??

This fat wack hit the guy in the face that through the egg.

So they should have both been locked uo.

Squeel Piggie!!

[JDs2BallsofSteel]

ye, but wat presscot did was jst a reaction...if u dont expect to get hit wiv somfin, the consequences of wat happens will b greater, say now if u wz jst walkin up ur high street nd randomly got attacked wivout knowing wat hit u, would u fite bck or jst stand there like a rite twat. anyway, that aside, the politicians deserve to b hated by the public after basically fucking up this country nd it shold b expected for ppl to hate them, throw fings at them etc.

[jman375]

Well if i was surrounded by police and cameras and got an egg chucked at me I would say.Did you see that!! No i would lash out. That's what animals do.

Do you realise that half of what you wrote ,makes you sound like a retarded chav?

I magine it would be a hard habit to break.

[therealKINDLE]

Someone give this man a cookie & shut him up b4 he runs outa breath & has a heart attack!

[divinacomedias]

lol...

get a grip. you know what I mean?

It was a setup, a PR coup, to promote the bloody carbon tax / monetary system.

Fascism was not discontinued at the end of WW2, and you lot are gonna sell Britain for a bag of silver? Allow the terror attacks and the phony war on terror continue???

What's the aim?

Where you going?

Where you from?

Do you really believe these squalid ideas will bear their fruit???

You gonna have your cake and eat it?

[divinacomedias]

If you are not in on the media's dealings, then the media corporations, banks, and think-tanks are your shepherds... and you are just sort of oblivious to the whole situation???

If that's the case, how do they select the mentally challenged into Parliamentary office?

[buzzjunked]

if someone is going to risk prison or there own life over a bit of land :P they usally make it worth while why put bleach or acid in cup when you could use a knife or a bomb ,, when i feel liquid i know its an egg or somthing non threating because i have faith in people to know better and have no reason to feel paranoid , the only fault i have with this women is the cup , i would have used a super soaker :)

[theoneali]

john, we dont fu*king LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY

[jollyboble]

Yes; you are right John, she should be arrested. But it is striking that you have presided over lawlessness that has ruined peoples live for over a decade because of nulabs policies. But now it affects you lot, suddenly thats different...

When will u lot clear off so the rest of us can clear up your mess?

[CookieSlim]

I completely and utterly agree with this video.

If somebody was to throw anything at my on the road I would defend myself. Just becuase Lord Mandelson is a senior politician it does not automatically change the word "assualt" into "protest". I'm annoyed that the police didn't arrest the woman, The way she acted and her reasons for it disgusted me. She should be made accountable for it and punished according to the law.

[timmycook58]

I thought you were finished. WTF are you doing now, no one cares what you have to say. please stop posting videos so I don't have to see your ugly face on youtube pages.

[mixmatosis]

Hey 2jags, why didn't jacko straw release the minutes of the Iraq invasion?

Oh I see, nobody even discussed the consequences of killing over a million innocent people, yet you complain about some stuck up crim getting custard in his slimy face.

[wearechangeherts]

First i would put it to you that there is no democratic process in the UK any longer.

Mandleson is not elected.

Our prime minster is not elected.

Gordon Brown now leads the most unpopular Labour government in history, yet no general election is being called.

There is no voting on bailing out the banks, there is no voting for QE, which devalues all of our money.

This is just the first high profile Direct action event, get ready for more, because when the people aren't represented you get this

[BobHaulk]

I bet it's not the first time Peter Mandelson has had a sticky substance dribbling off the the end of his chin

[fashamak]

It could have been acid? And the bombs you dropped on Iraq and Yugoslavia and all those other countries that never did anything to the UK? Could they have been acid? You fat a-hole! Blood on your hands and you complain about a bit of egg and custard.

[mesembryanthemum]

I find it odd that I should be in agreement with John Prescott but this is an appalling indictment of ministerial security. Can you imagine anything like this happening in the USA? It is bad enough that there was no police presence, but what of the people who WERE there. Does no-one understand the concept of a citizen's arrest? All this young woman has achieved is to show what a very professional man Lord Mandelson is, and I never thought I'd find myself saying that either.

[BobHaulk]

So once you've arrested her, then what ? Imagine defending a sleaze like mandelson. You do know this fucker widnae piss on you if you were on fire. Him,blair, prescott, broon are nothing but NWO shills who hate the people and want us all to shut up and be their slaves. They've killed millions in illegal wars, made fortunes in arms sales, gave bankers billions, destroyed millions of pensions, staged fake terror incidents etc but you defend them. That makes you complicit in their lies

baa baa baa

[mesembryanthemum]

This has nothing at all to do with Lord Mandelson's (or for that matter Mr Prescott's) politics. It's fair to say in fact that my political views are the exact opposite of this duo. What this is about is good manners & reasonable behaviour. We have a fantastic system in the UK, if you don't like what the Government is doing you get to vote them out of office, & there is nothing they can do about it. People should realise that living in a democracy doesn't give you the right to abuse the system.

[JoeRamboUK]

Spot on. I dont like these guys or what they stand. No need for the soup though.

[BobHaulk]

our fantastic system has a queen, you're her subject, you're subjected to laws made by her representatives. Democracy dont exist. If you think it matters what name the government goes under then you're delusional. You sound like a comfortable middle class apologist for a system that murdered it's way round the world stealing everything it can. Your complicity is beneath you. Prescott is a dancing fool who sold his soul for a few quid, a perfect role model for the likes of you. Jeez

[sarahnewt]

well said - and there are a lot of delusional sheep being led to the slaughter bleating " it's a lovely abattoir though" ! ! !

[aln2325826571]

if that would have been acid he would be tripping for weeks - he might then talk some congruent truth.

SHUT UP YOU FAT FACIST LYING FUCK - TRYING TO STOP REAL PROTEST HEY LETS JUST PUT CCTV CAMERAS ON EVERYONES HEAD AND MICROCHIPSZ UP THEIR ARSE'S - IN YOUR CASE FAT ADULTERY TWAT IT WOULD NEED THREE OR FOUR FAR SWEATY SMELLY ARSE - bla blah blah - velvet facism blah.

[lllnnn333]

a vote 4 labour is a vote 4 islam

[Rundogz]

I'm at t' Labore Parti conference 'ere up norf and I saw some green stuff throw & it looked like mushy peas.... eh mushy peas!... now I'm all for demo cracy whatever that is, but wastin mushy peas it's just not on. There are pies all over t' world who need mushy peas & it's just not right. I had a fookin egg thrown at me & I have to say that's not on either, they could have thrown anthin' a pie and mushy peas fer instance, so I punched t' bloke so he'll know fer next time.

[fixedbroken]

Shut up you lying idiot.

The woman unlike you clowns that can use media when and as they like, needed publicity to get her message across and she got it. Good on her.

[dickiedubsie]

John you are about as socialist as Lord Muck. The custard was a good way of getting media attention to another one of Labours biggest lies.

You hark on about being green and use green issues as an excuse to tax hard working British people. Yet an unelected member of Labour is making plans for increase air traffic. Utter Hypocrisy and you deserve more than just custard.

Labour are about as welcome in my town as the police were in the miners strikes. Expect harsher treatment next time.

[mixmatosis]

Found the WMD's in Iraq yet 2jags?

YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED.

[extrakt4]

when those thoughts are just echoes in your mind

[extrakt4]

the fact that the government doesn't allow the numbers decide means that acts of civil disobedience may be called for. everyone is entitled to their opinion as rightly said before,although having that opinion heard and considered is the only part that counts. like many other issues, we have had no input or say on what happens. so many people have words, but not enough people are on their feet. it's all very well having an intelligible standing on certain issues, but it counts for nothing

[MiniAl]

"And quite frankly" public leaders and politicians should be elected by the general populations.

Perhaps you could tell us why the government is going ahead with the new runway even though a large majority are totally opposed?

Also, what right have you got to talk about assault? Youve swung punches at people.

[Fincher85]

The Conservatives are going to scrap the plans for a third runway at Heathrow when they get in anyway so Labour are just pissing in the wind.

[aln2325826571]

r uy 4 real

[Fincher85]

uy?

[tomtomstop]

Still bitter about the egg incident, John??!

[AlbanianBorn]

first i have to say youtube is the worst bloody place to search for videos,TOOK ME HALF AN HOUR TO FIND THIS FUCKING THING.OR IT COULD BE THAT THIS BLOODY IDIOT NAMED IT RONG!!!!!!!! now about the women who threw the custard. i storlngly believe that she should be arrested.john prescott is right this is not democracy this is abuse of democracy. that women is an arrogant,light minded idiot and she needs to be tought a leason.thanks

[bluestilton]

good on ya johnny,mandys a nice guy and didnt deserve that and took the whole custard in good spirit.if it had been me i would have said 'hang on luv weve not had the main course yet'.

leila if you are reading this what you doing tonight and can we have green custard afterwards.cor!!!

[leightoncooke]

Oh yes he did! Next time he should get some Russian minders paid for by his rich friends. There is no democratic process in DNA/ID land! Our children do not need a third London Heathrow runway. They need politicians who care more about the future than lining their own pockets.

[AlbanianBorn]

get lost prick!!!!!!!!!! u know shit!!!!!!!!!!!! u enviromental people only think about the smoke that is gonna be produced.THINK ABOUT THE JOBS THAT IS GONNA CREATE!!!!!!! especially at these dificult times.IF YOU ARE AGENSED POLUTION THAN LETS GO BACK TO BACK TO PRIMITIVE TIMES,grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[lindsay40k]

Wow, the multiple exclamation marks and capslock cruise control really help give the illusion that your strawman in not completely ill-informed drivel.

[bobzilla211]

sorry but this is ridiculous john prescott. she should have been detained and questioned perhaps but it wasn't acid, was it? and it was egg running down your neck, not blood. so what does that have to do with anything? a punch in the face is assault, what she did was an adolescent protest, but a necessary one to get media attention.

the words being used here 'impunity' attacking a 'public person', worry me. you work for us. lets keep that in mind.

[AlbanianBorn]

u work for sombody too????? and would you like if someone threw shit at ya????????

[bobzilla211]

you are a colossal moron. MPs and ministers work for the people. they are our servants. i'm not saying they should get egged, i'm saying prescott is taking a dangerous attitude on this. this is supposed to be a democracy - politicians are accountable to people, not the other way round. and when they upset a proportion of the country (prescott, farmers) they should expect to see things like this happen, and it shouldn't be any more illegal to do this to a politician than a citizen.

[AlbanianBorn]

come ooooon.DEMOCRACY THATS RIGHT BUT I'TS NOT VERY DEMOCRATIC TO THROW SHIT AT SOMEONE's FACE. SHE COULD AVE GONE TO HIS FACE AND SHOUTED AT HIM,SCREAMED AT HIM OR DO ANY THING BUT HIT HIM.everyone is entitled to his/her opinion but not that way.

[hugoegbert79]

It is illegal to do this to anyone. It's assault. By doing this she has circumnavigated the democratic process-if I want to go up to Mandelson and speak to him now, or hand him a petition etc, I won't be able to because they'll have security stopping me because of idiots like that. Democracy doesn't allow people to assault politicians. And like Prescott said, for all Mandy knew, it may have been acid-it can't have been a pleasant experience. If you don't like what the govt does-vote against them

[lindsay40k]

There is no democratic process. Mandelson was not elected. You can't vote him out.

[bobzilla211]

the democratic process in britain has become an empty joke. the system is flawed enough as it is without having the election times chosen by the government, the colossal waste of votes every election, and the two party system.

its all very well to say vote against them but the fact is there is only one alternative party and numberous labour policies have only been passed because of tory support. there is no real choice yet this is still, every 4-5 years, the only way to participate.

[gonzophotojournalism]

didn't desreve it?

OH YES HE DID !!!

Lucky for Leila she didn't go for Prezza - judging on past performance hed probably hit her!

[azammarketing]

It is disgusting that this is what modern Britain has sunk to, with people walking away after physically assaulting others and then getting PR for their 'act'. The more vulgar and sensationalist you are, like this middle class woman who has regular taken foreign holidays by plane, the more publicity you'll get. If you're quiet, soft spoken and polite, you don't have a voice in modern Britain.

[AlbanianBorn]

i agree!

[lindsay40k]

I know, its a sodding disgrace. You do a shady deal on a private boat with a Russian oligarch, you systematically destroy internal party democracy, you lie about WMD to justify an illegal war of aggression, and nobody's interested.

[MiniAl]

HaHa! *applauds*

[lindsay40k]

You Blairites have been tearing apart your own party's internal democratic structures, systematically disenfranchising the working class, hounding the poor out of education, murdering innocent Iraqi civilians, appointing the likes of Digby Jones to government, selling peerages, asset-stripping the country to enrich your mates, abolishing welfare for the needy, and you think YOU'RE the victims?

Let me guess; if we don't do whatever Mandy says, the Tories will get in?

You ARE the Tories.

[swinderby]

Mandelson is a slimeball. Nice to see him covered in the stuff.!

Now for the war crimes trial of all you lot including Two Jags who went along with the slaughter of millions of innocent Iraqis when two million people marched on the streets of London saying no to war and were ignored.

No to Common Purpose too, Prescott, you traitor!

[strolls]

Your party has repeatedly broken promises for a referendum on electoral change, ignoring the findings of the Jenkins' Commission.

Ms Deen is mistaken: there is no "democratic process" in this country to fail her.

Labour has conspired to keep citizens disenfranchised, and you shouldn't be surprised when they exercise the right to take matters into their own hands.

Public servants should not expect to get away with the treachery that you have perpetrated. I hope to see you face justice for it.

[hugoegbert79]

Strolls: That's rubbish. We have things called general elections. If she doesn't like what teh government has done, she can vote them out. She has no right to attack people. It's assault. It's illegal. It's patheetic. End of.

[lindsay40k]

No, you can't. Quite apart from the fact that the limited range of options in UK elections - three neo-liberal parties with no major difference in policy - Peter Mandelson WAS NOT ELECTED TO GOVERNMENT.

The Iraq war was illegal, but it didn't stop Mandelson's clique from orchestrating the murder of a million.

[strolls]

General elections are a mockery - a choice between 2 parties who share the same policies. They can get away with making promises to get elected and then reneging on them once they get into power.

It is not in the interest of either party to make long-term change - they don't look past the next election.

Did Blair see this when he promised us proportional representation? That WOULD have heralded an era in which a vote counts. But Labour betrayed us, in favour of the political status quo.

[fdama]

Funny how she just walked away as if nothing had happened. That was wrong.

[mbb05jb]

lol, why didn't he slap that bitch!
