Number 1 should be partygate. Just this week Rishi Sunak had a PR disaster of his own after leaving the D Day ceremony early for a TV interview. This comes after the not knowing how to use a petrol pump or a debit card debacle on the heels of "I have lots of middle class and working class friends....well not working class" gaffe. To be fair the Tory party as a whole is just a walking PR disaster.

I'm all for clowning a completely out of touch politician but that isn't it. I'd say a better faux pas was when he asked the man in the soup kitchen if he has a business, very cringeworthy.

The thing you missed slightly is that John Prescott was deputy prime minister at the time. Like your Vice president. Imagine a VP doing this. He massively divided opinion but personally I thought he was one of the best politicians of my lifetime. John apparently had 2 Jaguar cars and was known as 2 Jags before this. Afterwards he became known as 2 Jabs. Great man.

Re: Starmer running for Prime Minister. In the UK, someone doesn't "run for Prime Minister". The Party is running for Government in the election. If his Labour Party wins, as leader of that Party, he will by default be made Prime Minister. The Labour Party could choose another Leader, or put someone else forward. So it's the Party that gets elected, not the Leader as such, although most people in the UK are confused by this too.

The admittance of how American media doesn't follow our politics, and yet the UK shows everything about American politics (especially elections) shows how blinkered the media is in the US in terms of educating it's people about the world around them. Sadly not very surprising. At least you as an individual are self educating however. :) Hopefully you find the BBC and ITV debates (the BBC was a seven party debate) to see what you think.

@@ben-tendo not sure I can fully agree with you. USA is one of the "super-powers" and so who is president, is of international importance and international media coverage will reflect this. I am not sure how many UK citizens would know a great deal about USA politics, beyond presidential elections or news involving the president. UK was part of the European Union for around 50 years and I don't think that many UK people even knew who the elected European Member of Parliament representing their own area was; let alone how the European Parliament worked. I wonder how many UK citizens could name the current leader of the European Parliament or comment on her election process; or could name 25% of the current leaders of European states. I also wonder what percentage of UK citizens would actually be able to name more than 2 or 3 members of the current cabinet in the UK. Make that 4 or 5 members - as I just tested myself and came up with 13 out of the 23 - still couldn't recall 10 of them and I am interested in politics! In the USA and the UK (even though UK general election turnout is usually pretty good) I am not sure how closely politics is followed in informed detail (beyond headlines) due to various reasons like busy work/home lives; more urgent matters such as immediate family issues/circumstances; dissapointment in it; mis-information; lack of trust in polititions/media; prefer to do something else. There is still plenty of info. and media discussion available in USA about international politics, for people that want to know about it - and even videos like this one, which introduces people to UK politicians (although not current.)ĵ

Prescott had every right to defend himself, he had no clue what had hit him and natural instinct is to defend. As a former boxer his reaction is more likely to include a subconscious punch in the direction of the attack. Fair play to John and I would never begrudge anyone reacting that way.

So, the pig gate thing. The book was written by one Lord Ashcroft (who holds both British and Belizan nationality, and has 'belonger' status with the Turks and Caicaos islands, which has absolutely nothing to eva... I mean *avoid* tax, because being a billionaire just isn't rich enough), who - by virtue of donating a shitload of money to the Coservative Party - felt he was 'owed' a job in the Cabinet following the 2015 general Election, and didn't get it. So he put that in the book by way of revenge. Mature bloke, really.

PieFace Cameron didn't put that in his book, it was written by Lord Ashcroft so totally unsubstantiated but because no one likes Cameron we were all more than happy to take it as gospel 🤣. The issue Prescott talked about after being egged was that he said he's just been hit in the face with something and he didn't know what it was and he felt something running down his face and neck which he thought may have been blood. It was just instinct and he didn't get any bad press that I remember, it's a natural reaction to defend yourself.

Prescott was definitely a PR win, he's relatively liked on all sides of politics generally, though there have been a few actual PR disasters in his career. Also it's assault, battery and criminal damage. I think it should be considered terrorism too - using violence and the fear of extreme violence to force people to disengage from the political process, IDK what that is if not terrorism, but apparently I'm alone in this legal theory. We have a common law legal system though so who knows..

Milliband being of jewish ancestry may be one of the reasons that he didnt seem to be enjoying his bacon sandwich? Saying that, i know many people with similar ancestry that enjoy a bacon butty. Ive heard that David Baddiel will snatch your fingers off if there's a free bacon sarnie on the go. Also a bacon sandwich is normally the first port of call for a few ex muslim friends of mine after leaving Islam. I asked some of them why bacon and not alcohol first, and they all confirmed that the bacon sandwich is a bigger F-you to their former life. I find that a bacon sandwich fixes everything. Except Milliband's career.

The reason people wanted to save Geronimo was because the testing system was faulty. He had tested positive twice but both times he had been primed with tuberculin, which produced false positives. The eventual postmortem report (which the govt took months to release) found that he did not in fact have any signs that should be present if he had TB.
