they both should have been sacked imho

No you didn't - I probably will I am officially a thread killer !!

Erm I didn't think it was generally routine to sack pple having affairs. Its not a sackable offence in my book...think of the French attitude etc.

I thought it was a sackable offence in a lot of organisations, perhaps I am wrong about this! Prezza is clearly a complete toad and tosser though for having an affair with someone who works under ( exceuse pun!) him. I feel sorry for his wife. Seems like the womean, Tracy whatever, had it well sussed from the off, keeping those diaries. She knew all along she'd sell him dowm the Swanny! she's what I'd call a Judas, but then it's no more than he deserves I suppose - as bad as eachotherIMO.

do we think ruth kelly has been demoted from education to local govt? i say yes, dp says she's got prescott's old job without the title. what do you all think?

...think its a bit bad though him keeping all the salary and doing half the job it would seem.

Just a thought but if I ran a business that was under fire - say, a double glazing company, I wouldn't have a reshuffle and make the receptionist in the shop & the window fitter swap places because IT wouldn't work. Why do they "Reshuffle".

If the window fitter made a huge mistake I would place him under probation for 6 months. If he did it again I would sack him.

This type of thing frightens the life out of me in our government.

how many jobs has John Reid had in a couple of years ( or so it seems) Health, Defence and now Home Sec - its ridiculous

John Prescott should have been sacked - his wife can't trust him - how the hell is the country supposed to? God he gets my goat - had the cheek to call the firefighters 'immoral' for striking and look at him - now he's got a job with no responsibilities and all the perks. The man is an arse. (in my opinion)

Grrrr.

and breathe.......

i like two shags.

Just the one does me fine custy

Uwila, I bought the 'it's a private matter' argument, until I saw this article in the Guardian. I don't usually agree with Catherine Bennett, but I think she got this one right. \link{http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,1767251,00.html\here}

Yes, Oldiemum, I think she says it all in the first couple of paragraphs.

So Prescott has kept his job so in theory as DPM if the PM pops his clogs tonight he'll be PM in the morning? Big time liar and abused his power and position (missionary?)

They all make me puke to be honest, he should have reshuffled before the local elections to avoid the pasting at the polls.

looks like Prezza may yet face an \link{http://www.theherald.co.uk/politics/61541.html\investigation}

double standards again!

don't do as I do, do as I say
