Prescott bags the first lamp-post - for himself

John Prescott MP openly incited law-breaking this morning.

His remarks (Today, BBC R4) on the Goodwin affair are beyond disgraceful. They are dangerous.

‘Yes,’ said Prescott. ‘Yes, we should simply refuse to pay the Goodwin pension. Let him sue us in the courts,’ said this obese, greedy, violent, vain, stupid, ignorant, libidinous, gross, already-acknowledged but unpunished law-breaker, this lifelong stinking parasite and determined sucker-at-the-public-teat, who refused to give up his grace-and-favour perks even after being relieved of his office, instead demanding to continue to live in royal luxury paid for by, inter alia, the criminal marginal taxes, which he voted for time and again, on the poorest, whose voice he claims to be and whose pain he claims to feel (don't make me fucking laugh while I am throwing up) and oh, dear Lord – this Privy Councillor and adviser to the Sovereign.

Who is ‘we’, Prescott? Who is this ‘us’ on whose behalf you presume to speak, you sick-making, egregious, utter bastard? You do not speak for me, you dangerous, over-promoted tenth-rate placeman.

He went on, quite calmly, ‘Yes, I do understand the implications of breaking the law.’

Oh, you do? Well, that is quite clear then. We have noted it. We shall remember it.

He justifies his astonishing incitement to discard the rule of law on the basis that his ‘survey’ on his blog garnered six thousand ‘angry’ supporters for his proposal. If he were not so disgusting, he would be pathetic.

So we also know that he approves of mob rule, as well as – expressly – breaking the law when one is angry. Every angry feral youth, every angry bank robber, every angry rapist, every angry schoolboy, can now cite the Right Honourable John Prescott, MP, as his exemplar, his leader, his role model. 'I was angry, yer honner.'

If – when? – the riots start, and the angry citizens of the United Kingdom find themselves arrested, DNA’s, tried, convicted, tagged, fined and jailed, when martial law is declared by Gordon Brown, remember the moment in history when it all started. It was this morning. It was around 08:15 on 26 February 2009.

The mob will remember it. They will call as their defence witness the former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who said that breaking the law is fine because anger makes it right.

If property is damaged – I doubt banks can get insurance for their plate glass at present – and if people die in the riots, Mr Prescott will bear the blame for sanctioning the overthrow of law by the mob.

This is the man whom the Labour Party – the entire, shameful Labour Party which now governs us: its Members of Parliament and Cabinet Ministers, its trade unions in block vote, its constituency parties – produced, promoted, admired and elected its Deputy Leader and appointed to the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Labour Party.

Why did the BBC’s Evan Davies, interviewing this disgusting cancer on the face of British political life, not raise roaring hell there and then, at Prescott’s outrageous remarks? If the BBC, now repeatedly re-broadcasting Prescott’s incitement and his rant about greed and anger, does so without commentary on the fact of his incitement to illegal behaviour, without so much as a raised Corporation eyebrow, it will condemn itself as no more than Prescott’s mouthpiece and part of his lynch-mob.

Beware mobs, Mr Prescott. When the trouble starts, stay well away from crowds and lamp-posts. Learn from Il Duce and the mob he had led, even to what looked for a while like triumph.

If Prescott is smart, he will swiftly re-think and as swiftly play the early-onset dementia card which can be his only defence. He should then withdraw completely from the public eye lest decent people spit on him in the streets.

It is otiose to observe that Prescott's recklessness stems from his personal vanity and from being insulated from reality, rationality and any sense of honour by the collective hubris of this unprincipled Labour government.

Parliament, press and people should demand that the Prime Minister and Cabinet repudiate Prescott totally and immediately. If they do not, we will draw our own conclusions. We will take their silence as agreement. And then we will destroy them utterly.

So now, consider. How safe do you feel, under this Labour government?

If you see what I see, I beg you to blog this scandal. You could do nothing more important today to protect your liberty and security under the law.
