I cannot presently get the thought out of my head, so I may as well confront it head on. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Poppet7 on April 26, 2006, 02:04:11 PM I feel for his wife, she's stuck by the minger for 44 years!

THANKS!!!! Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: AdamM on April 26, 2006, 02:15:19 PM people in all walks of life have affairs. frankly, none of our business.
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: thetank on April 26, 2006, 02:17:01 PM Power is sexy, it's very easy for someone to fall for someone in such a position. (Especially if he also likes to get involved in the odd punch-up :) )
I'm not one to be outraged and demand public figures be held to a higher standard. Insisting upon such a thing and making a meia circus out of events like this, in my opinion, is a self defeating purpose. I'm with AdamM though, a private life should be jsut that. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: TightEnd on April 26, 2006, 02:17:26 PM (here we go)...what, not even our business if its the Deputy prime minister? thats in the public interest surely?
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: thetank on April 26, 2006, 02:18:59 PM Why is it our buisness, does it get in the way of him running the country?
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Royal Flush on April 26, 2006, 02:19:17 PM He signed up for a public life, when he is having an affair with someone he is working with, that is public.
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Nem on April 26, 2006, 02:19:35 PM not even our business if its the Deputy prime minister? thats in the public interest surely? Not him shagging his secretary. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Royal Flush on April 26, 2006, 02:19:48 PM Why is it our buisness, does it get in the way of him running the country? Well if that was his job it might....lol Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Dingdell on April 26, 2006, 02:20:27 PM being in the government makes his life public - and although he is human he chose a position of responsibility - not any other position he so wishes....
Power is a great aphrodisiac - I'm a sucker for it every time. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: AdamM on April 26, 2006, 02:21:47 PM no, still none of our business. If it's not something that effects how he does the job it's not an issue.
You wont stop the tabloids and tv news reporting it but they report on alsorts of crap that I dont think if news worthy. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Nem on April 26, 2006, 02:22:36 PM Why is it our buisness, does it get in the way of him running the country? Well if that was his job it might....lol What does he actually do? (apart from shagging secretaries and driving Jaguar's) Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Poppet7 on April 26, 2006, 02:23:29 PM Forgive me if I'm wrong, but from what I heard I think he told everyone himself, therefore he has allowed his private life to become public. I might just've heard wrong though...
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: TightEnd on April 26, 2006, 02:23:45 PM Why is it our buisness, does it get in the way of him running the country? so presumably no politician of any party should have to resign over such matters? Cecil Parkinson? David Mellor? Ron Davies on Clapham Common? Mark Oaten with rent boys? I've no problem with that view by the way, but the view you express isn't the way things have happened is it? Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: thetank on April 26, 2006, 02:24:39 PM What does he actually do?

Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Royal Flush on April 26, 2006, 02:26:41 PM How do you know it doesnt affect his job?
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: thetank on April 26, 2006, 02:27:41 PM I suppose one could be of the opinion that him having an affair with his secretary was an abuse of his position.
Put the chicky in front of the highest court in the land and ask her if she would have diddled Mr. Prescott had he not been high up in Government. Alternatively we could just leave her alone.... How do you know it doesnt affect his job? How do you know what he had for breakfast doesn't affect his job. Does that make it newsworthy? Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Poppet7 on April 26, 2006, 02:28:13 PM Even with all the money and power in the world... I still couldn't!

Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Heid on April 26, 2006, 02:28:30 PM I actually could care less about him having the affair...it's the actual thought of someone wanting to shag the guy that is the shocking thing..although as people have said some are attracted to power.
This *has* to be the case in this situation. I am presuming that this kind of thing is pretty rife in business, except we don't get to hear about it - because again as someone has pointed out - most people aren't in the public eye. Is it our business? Well, I bet Mrs Prescott wishes it wasn't. It's her I feel sorry for. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: TightEnd on April 26, 2006, 02:29:39 PM So is the real issue here the power and agenda of the media that makes Prescott go public rather than be exposed and risk resignation, rather than Prescott's foibles themselves?
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Heid on April 26, 2006, 02:31:07 PM Of course.. I imagine he got a phone call telling him what they knew, and told him they were going to run it.
What could he do? I've seen they way the tabloids operate..seen it happen to a good friend of mine. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: thetank on April 26, 2006, 02:35:04 PM The media needs to have power, as a collective it has done a far better job than any opposition party in the last 20 years of questioning government, and holding them to accord.
The focus of this power is all too often yielded irresponsibly, but that's our fault. We are obsessed with sex.

It was censored here, completely and utterly - in fact still not spoken about widely here. Race back to Di and Chuck and their flings, and how the newspapers grabbed onto that and changed the way the public perceive and treat the monarchy. (btw I am no royalist) The media controls and melds our thoughts, even if we are clever enough to see it being done .. to a certain extent. Case inpoint.. Bush mentioning Iraq in the same sentence as 911 to the American populace - they now think Iraq was to blame for it. Ok using Yanks is easy LOL.. but the process is the same. Paedos and peadatricians mixed up by chavsand thrown into a frenzy.... Why do you think that the politicians court the newspapers soopenly - why did the Sun change alegiance during the last election? Fascinating subject.

firstly -to err is human to admit it means you have been caught ;D as for affecting his job, ability to do it or the possibility it can compromise him . We in britain expect our politicans to be squeaky clean in terms of perceived morality(which we all know is nonsense in reality). If they hide affairs then this leaves them open to blackmail of various kinds. If we accepted politicans are human and will be promiscious then not having to hide it negates the blackmail possibility. as for the ability to do the job if they use a liason to benefit either party or adversly affect a situation or policy then this should be exposed and is of public interest(a la david blunkett and the ahem vias etc). as for politicans in general i am only amazed that people get hot and bothered that they are capable of excess and debauchery..after all the vast majoriity entered public office as ego centred people and power i do not believe lessens that. as for the admission it smacks, as said, of getting all the bad news out at the same time and hope the charles clark issue disappears under two jags red top headlines er you go Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 26, 2006, 03:11:35 PM Looks like we need Danbert Nobacon of Chumbawamba to give him an annual dose of iced water to keep those urges in check!

Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: AndrewT on April 26, 2006, 05:28:00 PM The government's relationship with the media is a two-way thing - they both use each other. As Nemesis said, the timing of this Prescott thing is fortuitous to say the least. Up and down the country in pubs tonight, how many people will be talking about 'how the government let all these foreign rapists and murderers out of jail and lost them?', compared to 'Prescott, eh?'
The media do know about what some politicians get up to, and use that to their advantage. There is plenty of 'if you keep that quiet, then you can have this' type stuff that goes on. The 'scandal' which brought this home to me most was the Major/Currie affair. Here was the Prime Minister and another member of the government having an affair, yet no one knew about it. The gasps and shocks from within the media and other politicians was genuine - they simply could not fathom that such a high-level piece of gossip could be kept secret for so long, which shows just how 'secret' other scandals are.

Talking of affairs.

Regards M Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Heid on April 26, 2006, 11:49:27 PM I actually could care less about him having the affair...it's the actual thought of someone wanting to shag the guy that is the shocking thing..although as people have said some are attracted to power. This *has* to be the case in this situation. I am presuming that this kind of thing is pretty rife in business, except we don't get to hear about it - because again as someone has pointed out - most people aren't in the public eye. Is it our business? Well, I bet Mrs Prescott wishes it wasn't. It's her I feel sorry for. So are you not shocked by Mrs. Prescott having been shagging him for years then ? Or is it merely someone else shagging him on the side that shocks you ? LOL well obviously I feel a bit of sympathy for her having to shag him for years ... But I feel sorrier for her that she has been dragged into all the business because of the doings of her hubby. It is humiliating enough for anyone whose partner is unfaithful to them, but for it to be as public as it is in this case, must be horrific.

Do you think John Prescott is a good catch for a lady? Power and Money and all that. regards M Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Colchester Kev on April 26, 2006, 11:59:39 PM As horrific as people slating her husband beacause of his looks ??
personal insults about someones appearance are hurtful and immature. Slate the blokes morals and lack of restraint by all means, but to abuse him because he doesnt look attractive to you shows a distinct lack of class IMHO. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Heid on April 27, 2006, 12:00:36 AM Probably great for her after she does the turgid expose in the news of the world.

Very true .. someone can be distasteful regardless of their physical appearance :) And of course I agree it is not nice to slate someone behind their back because of their appearance.

As for Prescott, the thing that strikes me about this story is how sad his wife must feel after being told that someone you have loved and shared so much time with over the years has cheated on you. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Nem on April 27, 2006, 12:29:56 AM me off my hotdogs... Hmmmmm Hot Dogs.

He's just a human being who makes mistakes like everyone else. He did wrong, he was big enough to admit it to his wife, said sorry and has moved on. MPs need stringing up for various things but not for this. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: AdamM on April 27, 2006, 12:52:25 PM ;applause;
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Colchester Kev on April 27, 2006, 12:55:39 PM Ok mr moves and adam, your wife has been having a 2 year affair, and because she knows someone is going to tell you all about it in the next few days, she confesses and says sorry.. that makes everything ok does it ?? I THINK NOT.
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: AdamM on April 27, 2006, 01:02:25 PM course not, Im not saying what he did was right, I'm saying it's none of our business, same with royals, entertainers or sportsmen/women.
whether or not he's made a mistake or needs to make amends for something is a different matter. What I'm saying is issues like this aren't black and white and shouldn't be judged my the tabloid media or anyone else. I had a friend who was out trianing as a kickboxer 3 nights a week. then he joined a pool team on another night, then he got a door job for two more nights. after a year his wife had an affair. Is he without blame? is she in any way justified? is it any business of anyone reading this? thats my point Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: The Rivercard on April 27, 2006, 01:09:43 PM Damn folks I dont know what I would do without you to make me laugh.

I cant take John Prescot seriously and thank god neither can some of you rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: Rod Paradise on April 27, 2006, 01:17:15 PM Adam, if Prescott (as has been reported in the press) has taken the lead for Labour in attacking the tories over sleaze & having affairs etc, does THAT not make his infidelity relevant & impacting on his job?
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: AdamM on April 27, 2006, 02:01:17 PM it's certainly egg on his face (pun intended) that he was so vocal against Tory sleaze during the Major Govt, but my point more generally is that it's a shame peoples personal lives have to be such a focus. He's a politician, a policy maker, a governor. who he's sleeping with is of no consequence.
Sven is another example. from day one the red tops were out to get him. who an England Manager is sleeping with has no impact on his ability to run the team, but it is a way of discrediting him and another stick to beat him with. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: MrMoves on April 27, 2006, 02:06:18 PM Ok mr moves and adam, your wife has been having a 2 year affair, and because she knows someone is going to tell you all about it in the next few days, she confesses and says sorry.. that makes everything ok does it ?? I THINK NOT. What part of "He did wrong" don't you understand? He doesn't deserve a public flogging. Everybody makes mistakes. Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: the bus on April 27, 2006, 04:06:29 PM I think John Prescott should be barred from participating in the WSOP. :D
Title: Re: John Prescott has affair with secretary Post by: vinni on April 27, 2006, 07:26:41 PM i think personally ,he should put a big smile on his face
