Prescott's visit to Burger King overshadowed by race row
19 Jan 2007 by Alex
The outgoing Deputy Prime Minister yesterday found himself embroiled in a potentially explosive diplomatic incident in a town centre somewhere, probably.Sources close to the cabinet suggested that it is entirely plausible that Mr Prescott, 33, was getting a bit hungry around the time he normally has his supplementary parliamentary second lunch extra helpings, and went in search of some 'healthy snacks' to keep his hyperactive intellect focussed on whatever the hell it is that he does these days.
"I would have thought that if Prezza went in to a fast food place, like Burqa King or McDoners, in the present political climate, that someone a bit ethnic might have challenged him about the racial slur made on all people of colour by Jade Goody and that scouse woman. What's her name?" said his personal private secretary Douglas Farquar-Ramsbottom in the Westminster press conference he had called, possibly because he was a bit bored.
"I mean, I don't even have any idea where he is today for god's sake. I tried to make him look important by saying he had turned on the Prime Minister, but frankly who hasn't? Everyone seems to be interested in Brown's problems in India, and apparently Big Brother contestants are now entirely representative of British society. And that's why I reckon Big John would have been shamed by questions about this TV show full of idiots watched mainly by stoned students and drunk housewives. Deffo, take my word for it."
Rocky vs Prezza
In a story completely unrelated to boredom, Mr Prescott's personal private secretary Mr Fatwah-Ramsbottom revealed today that Mr Prescott has agreed to play Sylvester Stallone's pugilistic nemesis in the next instalment of the Rocky film franchise. When pressed on whether Mr Prescott would now be leaving politics completely to pursue a career in the movie industry, Mr Farquah-Ramsbottom replied, "Yeah whatever, if you like."
