The Right Quite Honourable John Prescott MP was Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 until 2007. If ever you wanted the working class represented in politics, this was your man. Despite looking slightly out of place in Parliament, it is suggested he helped Labour keep in touch with more traditional left wing democratic socialist voters, while 'New Labour' gradually tried to gain new supporters. Many people criticised how he resorted to violence by punching a protestor who, disappointed with rising fuel prices, threw an egg at him. However it has since been pointed out that he probably didn't resort to violence, it was most likely his first choice.

  • John Prescott is an English politician, born 6 July 1958. John Prescott's weight and alleged appetite is the subject of continual ridicule, particularly in the joke headlines that open and close the show. Eric Pickles has come in for similar treatment in later years, and mockery of Eamonn Holmes led to Merton frequently offering his name as an answer for comic effect.
  • Lord John "[[User:Solati/John_%E2%80%9Cbig_job%E2%80%9D_Prescott_defends_his_expense_claims|big job]]" Prescott, The Lord Prescott of Pieburg other names include Big Fat Bastard and God of the North, is the former Deputy Pie Minister of the United Kingdom and Vice Governor of Iraq, serving in that capacity under Tony Bliar. Upon his retirement from that post in 2007, he was appointed official Court Jester to Her Majesty's Royal Household, but subsequently dismissed after he ate all the pies and vomited all over His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh.

  • Lord John "[[User:Solati/John_%E2%80%9Cbig_job%E2%80%9D_Prescott_defends_his_expense_claims|big job]]" Prescott, The Lord Prescott of Pieburg other names include Big Fat Bastard and God of the North, is the former Deputy Pie Minister of the United Kingdom and Vice Governor of Iraq, serving in that capacity under Tony Bliar. Upon his retirement from that post in 2007, he was appointed official Court Jester to Her Majesty's Royal Household, but subsequently dismissed after he ate all the pies and vomited all over His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. Prescott's other claim to fame is a childhood accident which was, reportedly, the inspiration for the popular nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. Contrary to popular belief, the King's Men did succeed in putting Humpty together again, except for the brain, which remains missing to this day. (Some speculate that Prescott has, in fact, eaten it.) Accordingly, they substituted the brain of a pig, presuming that no one would notice. The next day, he joined the Labour Party. In May 2010 he was made a Lord and allowed to sit in the Upper Chamber of Parliament. Naturally, with a creak and crash, he was soon in the Lower Chamber again pretty quickly.
