RIP John, met him a few times, easy enough to talk to straight talking always in for a laugh and a joke.
RIP John Prescott
Me and a couple of mates got chatting to John late one night, about 36 years ago, on Leeds City station. Well before he became a household figure. He came across to us as a decent, funny, witty ,chatty bloke..I liked him. Also, in his Merchant Navy union days, I heard that he represented my cousin Mike when he went AWOL off a ship in Vancouver.

back in the early 1990s i was working in leeds and going daily on train. made more sense (and easier to park) to go from brough..one day after an earlier london-bound train pulled in, i walked past a first class coach and he was in their with a ton of papers spread across a table, working away. no idea whether he commuted from hull every day, but i'd've found all that extra travel a miserable burden.
Whatever your political persuasion, you have to admire John and a politician and a person. This clip is wonderful and just shows how the politicians of today couldn't hold a candle to the likes of John P, RIP John

It just shows what a farce British politics was and still is. Scripted like a comedy sketch, reading witty lines written by someone else, and as for all the others cheering, jeering like a bunch of idiots at the appropriate times.

Surprised no mention of the passing of Shel Talmy. He was involved in so many of the groups and records that were the background to growing up in the 1960s.
