I was also wondering what was wrong with playing croquet, its hardly newsworthy let alone a sackable offence. I dont like him much, but its now any excuse to have a go.

Belting that egg thrower was the only good thing Prescott has ever done.

He should go.

I read at the weekend that he has something on Blair, and that's why he got to keep all the privileges of office when he was sort of demoted.

This Government is begining to stink just as much as at the end of John Major's last days in power. Sadly though I don't see much of a viable opposition.

He should have been jailed for it, and he wasn't. That's where this countries problems are, the deputy prime minister gets an egg thrown at him, and most of this country seem to think thats a licence to go round punching people. No wonder there's so much violence, muggings, robbery. violence is condoned by top level politicians and most of the public when it suits. It's only if I walk up to you and punch you without you throwing an egg at me first,do you see it as wrong. Saturday night punch ups in accy are ok, I punched him cos he said my girl friends a slag, he desserved it.
It's absolutely pathetic to say that words or an egg could warrant a phyiscal attack.

Violence is violence. It's one of the worst crimes you can commit.

Prescot will go, the public and the party will make him go regardless of whether tonys been giving him jolly's

Madhatter · 30-05-2006, 22:08

I will however defend myself, if cornered, but not if I don't need to, I'd rather walk away. If the country was invaded, I'd fight to the death, but I certainly wouldn't run up to the and punch them, that's not the way to win, especially if they have dangerous weapons such as fresh free range eggs.

Egg, stone, or a condom filled with acid, he was defending himself and I would have done the same.

And you'd be in the wrong
Throwing an egg at someone is not the same as punching them and just because someone does you wrong, doesn't mean you should be allowed to do wrong back. That is why we have a justice system.
If your girl friend had an argument with you during making breakfast and threw an egg at you , you'd punch her in the face for it, and she'd deserve it.

Madhatter · 31-05-2006, 02:00

You'd defend yourself against someone throwing eggs at you by punching them. An egg! I can't believe you can't see how ridiculas that is and how bad an example it sets to young and impressionable reading it.

But it wasn't Pauline Prescot that threw the egg, it was a fat arsed burly farmer.

It was probably one of the few times a politican has acted upon impulse, and I don't mean he gave the said fat arsed farmer flowers, he gave him a well deserved slap.

Wynonie Harris · 31-05-2006, 07:45

I don't blame John Prescott for punching the egg thrower in the face. However, it's the double standards that nauseate me.

If any of us on here punched some little scally in the face who had just thrown an egg at us, I'm pretty sure we would be up on assault charges, thanks to the fact that the rights of criminals and yobs now appear to override those of decent, law-abiding citizens. There was a perfect example of this the other day when an ordinary family man who was remonstrating with some yobs was hit on the head with a studded wooden pole and sustained serious injuries. His compensation was cut because he actually swore at the poor little darling before the attack occurred.

Prescott and his cronies have done very little to change this situation, so why should he escape the consequences?

Surely the question should be "Why has Two Jags not already gone?". Is it possible that Blair is afraid to chop him and if so, why? Does Prezza have something on Blair that we don't know? I wonder!

possibly the fact that if he sacked him a VOTE would have to be taken and we all know what tony thinks of democracy.

He didn’t go round punching people Madhatter. He responded to a thug chucking an egg at him. Stick to the facts. But then that is what people do when they have run out of ammunition to support their opinion. They twist the facts.

It may have been a bit over the top but understandable none the less.

There are far worse bad examples shown to the young and impressionable on TV in soaps and the news not forgetting to mention films.
