Deputy Prime minister John Prescott who attacked conservatives for sleaze in the 90s admitted to having an affair

The home Secretary Charles Clarke: admitts to letting out 1000 dangerous foreign prisonors from our jails onto the street instead of deporting them and they don't know where most of them are!

The police found some hash in defense secretary John Ried's home

and the health secretary Patrcia Hewitt had a tough time addressing the Royal college of nurses annual conference, nurses heckled and booed her, forcing her to abandon her speech

The funny thing is you don't seem to appreciate that people have very short memories and because of the way in which most people "learn" i.e. they watch only sound bite news and don't read then in actual fact what is unfolding is the perfect ploy once again. It goes from the seriousness of Charles Clarke admitting that 1000 people have been released back into society when in fact many of them should have been deported, he then criminally misleads the public by suggesting in parliament that the NIR (National Identity Register) would have prevented this catalogue of errors knowning full well this is bullshit because a lot of those on the list were illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers and thus would never have been on the register in the first place. However once again this as soon forgotten about as newsflash! Prescott is caught having an affair with his secretary and then almost immediately the real scandal is swept to one side and people can idly chatter about the infedility of the deputy prime minister instead and so the trivial wins out in the end. I am so sick of the deliberate way in which this is all manufactured.
The Abu Ghraib scandal is miraculously followed by the fake beheading of Nick Berg
The admitted fake rescue of Private Parker is followed by some more threats from this time al zarqahwi
The war on terrorism begins and immmediately questions begin to be asked, and then suddenly anthrax attacks hit
SARS
Bird Flu
All are cynical ploys in which to distract a very docile population, prescott's infedility is just yet another example of how the media fed by the governments info then helps to sweep away the real serious issues

Why should Prescott not be able to have a affair if its alright for every other person in the country.

the main point is that he is a hypocrit he attacked the tories for doing the same when they were in government, what does that say about his integrity? Prescott is a liability he can't do anythin right and he has a habbit of getting into bad situations like when he punch that guy in the crowd.
