You are right Mr Prescott, the interview was a disgrace, but don't blame the one asking the questions, he just succeeded in allowing Corbyn to show the world just what a nutter he actually is. Thus is just one more situation where there is Labour party policy and in contrast what is conversely contained on Corbyn's head. The two things are clearly not the same.

Corbyn is going to continue to allow the communist in him to slip out more and more. I am 100% sure that they will replace him before the next election.

It's Labour not Labor and Defence not defense

When the British press report on (for example) Pearl Harbor, we use the American spelling rather than the correct 'Harbour'

Two Shags Prescott is out of the same mould as Corbyn, steeped in the past and unable to move forward except for his notorious Kyoto deal.

The pair of them should be consigned to history, preferably after being hung, drawn and quartered as befits their apparent time warp.

One day, they will build statues and name schools and collages after this man.

one day he will rule red Britain and control the world,

on the other hand-all he has to do now, is get elected,
chuckle chuckle.

“Lord Prescott wrote: ”Here's someone who is leading the debate by putting housing, social justice and equality right at the heart of our politics. And how did Marr respond? ”

Politicians are so far up their own jacksie, they cannot see that a presenters job is to ask challenging questions on our behalf to see what the interviewed politican is made of, and whether we think they are suitable to lead us.

As Labour Leader, whether he likes it or not, Corbyn has got to show the electorate he is on the ball (or nor as the case may be) and he's going to have a lot of interrogation.

And WHO has ever been mauled by Marr? He's Jeremy Paxman.
That's like being hit by a feather duster!

The question on many voter's lips is not how Marr responded but how Corbyn did.

Obviously Prescott's social justice and equality does not apply to our people in the South Atlantic.
