National Unity......will it work?

He wasn’t humiliated - a prat like NS couldn’t humiliate him - he was instead furious which is the right response.

"He wasn’t humiliated"
Agreed , maryeliza.
I don't think anyone could humiliate John Prescott.

I would define a "blue collar" government as that headed by Clement Attlee in 1945.

That Labour party administration brought forward to Britain the NHS, the nationalisation of the Railways and other utility companies, a huge council house building program and much else.

That government contained figures such as Ernest Bevin as a senior minister, who never received any real education and worked as a Docker prior to entering the trades union movement and then politics.

Truly Britains greatest peacetime government in my humble opinion, which contained many people with real experience of blue-collar life.

Fennel the only person humiliated was NS - a man born with every conceivable unearned advantage in life who could not behave properly in the face of someone who actually worked for and earned his own way in life
