I put it in the same category as making jokes involving David Blunkett’s blindness; the fact that he’s blind is not what anyone’s laughing about, it’s the fact that he is an utter bastard.

I’m certainly not a Prescott fan, but I think Thomas is right about this. It was really dismal.

I’m not sure I’d object to joking about it, all the same – but I don’t really see how this is a joke… Maybe you had to be there, but it reads as though he meant it, more or less – which is more sad than anything.

I’m sure John Prescott tells worse about Eric Pickles.

I may be the only one but I was disappointed at media treatment of Prescott after he admitted bulimia. I thought it was horrible.
