    But if anything was ever going top make me vote Labour it would have been Prescott's punch.

    How can you not love a man who, when on dozens of live tv cameras, punches an ugly Welsh fucker with a mullet?

      Wouldn't that be racist then?: No. The Welsh bit was my own comment - Prescott had no idea of nationality when he punched him.


      Wouldn't that be failing your role as an example to the rest of us (proles)?: Arguably. Personally I think he did a great job with that punch. Others may disagree, but I am not one. I don't think that being in a position of authority means you have to take any shit directed at you.


      Wouldn't that be common assault, caught on camera, and gone unpunished?: There was talk of a criminal charge, but it was decided it'd go nowhere. Before you scream about inequalities etc, perhaps I should remind you about the circumstances: as he walked to a public occasion, a man threw an egg into his face, hard, at point blank range. Prescott turned and punched him. As it is I'm already thinking Prescott is in the right, but of course his defence is that he didn't know he'd been egged, just that a protestor (with mullet, don't forget) had just hit him in the side of the head, so he fought back.


      Wouldn't that amount to the complete adn abject abuse of the power...: No. I am satisfied that he didn't use his position to avoid prosecution or anything similar. The only argument is your 2nd point, which suggests that even if it is an understandable reaction, he should have restrained himself. People's opinions will differ on this point, but I am of the opinion that he should not have to be saintly.
