No Right Hook From Ed Then?
34 Answers
I reckon Prezza's reaction was spot-on, nothing from Ed though.

On a serious note though I think it is pretty disgusting our politicians cannot walk the street without attack.

It is - but Prescot's reaction was that of a thug, not a politician and minister.
It is wrong that anyone, politician or not, cannot walk any street without fear of attack, but that is the world we live in.
It does underline the intelligence of the political critic - he was wearing a flouresecent jacket, so he was never going to be able to melt into the crowd and walk away!

Sqad - they are human beings, no dispute there.
But by the fact that Prescott becomes, through choice, an elected politician and government minister, that means that some of life's little luxuries, like brawling in the street, are no longer an option for him because, due to his status and (considerable) remuneration from the public purse, the public is entitled to expect him to behave with a degree of personal dignity, as well as ensuring he does not flout the common laws of the land which are made and enforced by the government of which he is a senior member.
So if you want to be a incoherent womanising braggart who fights in the street - go ahead, but not on the public's salary in a position as a government minister - it is not accetptable.

I approved of Prezza's right hook as well. His attacker was an uneducated oik and deserved all he got. Prezza's reputation wasn't harmed at all, maybe improved. Those that didn't like after his punch were the same people that didn't like him before, so no loss there !
Sadly, Ed isn't Prezza it would seem. Perhaps if he was, he might be a few points higher in the Polls today.

mikey - I really hate to come over as some kind of po-faced humourless twonk here, but do you really think that a government minister assaulting someone in the street is accetpable, and should result in him being better thought of?
That's fine, as long as said minister never ever registers an opinion in public about street violence, assault, etc. because his actions have instantly made any detached and pertinent views - the sort we are entitled to expect from our government - laughable.
That is the reason why his behaviour was unacceptable, and not, as the government at the time said, laughing it off, Oh that's just John ... as though that makes it alright then.
It doesn't.
