Just read that he has died, 86 I think.

“Well, John is John!”

RIP.

'what you see is what you get' is fine as long as they are decent human beings!

Oh dear1 I was not referring to John! I have already posted he was a decent man! I was referring to some labour representatives at the moment.

I have always had a soft spot for John Prescott, he was authentic &
consistent in his beliefs and he worked very hard for the causes he believed in. A fine genuine man of the people, who loved animals too but wouldn't suffer fools gladly (including micky-taking journalists or condescending Tory MP's!
Rest in peace John,
You were a true force of nature. 🙏💗😥

He had a sense of humour and so enjoyed being sent up in Gavin and Stacey he made a cameo appearance. Can't say I agreed with him on many things, but Big John was a character from an era when we had politicians had big personalities.
