Prescott in 'comprehensible outburst' shock
17 Aug 2006 by Suspicious Mind
The political and diplomatic community was today stunned when Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott labelled the Bush Administration's Middle East policy "crap". Compliments and plaudits for Prescott's unusually intelligible and politically astute analysis immediately started flooding in from all around the world. Former US President Bill Clinton said that the Deputy Prime Minister's words marked, "a breakthrough", while Nelson Mandela added, "let freedom reign".Mr Prescott made the remarks at a private meeting with Muslim Labour MPs to discuss the present crisis in Lebanon. He immediately followed his assessment of the conflict between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defence Force with a stream of incomprehensible rubbish about Britain needing "a properly integrated public transport scrotum" and "implementationing the wanking farmers' tax credit". MPs present at the meeting said the subsequent torrent of verbal diarrhoea was such that they couldn't remember Mr Prescott's use of the word 'crap'.
One, Khalid Mahmood, said, "He could've said 'Allah Akhbar! George Galloway, eat my shit' for all I know. It was a car-crash of verbiage."
The Deputy Prime Minister's Office immediately issued a statement denying Mr Prescott's use of the 'c-word'. A spokesman said, "This was a private meeting between individuals. The Deputy Prime Minister made his views clear on a range of issues, but he was far more emphatic when describing US Middle East policy than using the word 'crap' would suggest."
