Shock and Awe

Gorse Fox sits here, stunned.

Who'd have thought it?

Gorse Fox finds that he actually almost agrees with Peter Mandelson. According to the Mail Online:

John Prescott's credibility was in new peril today after Peter Mandelson urged him to consider the interests of the party.

"All I would say about John is that he is a party man to his fingertips and whatever he does, he will do what is in the party's interests, I'm sure, and not his own."

Why, you might ask, does the Gorse Fox ALMOST agree? Well, the Gorse Fox thinks Prescott should resign:

• For the good of the country


• Because he has never yet espoused a policy that has worked


• Because he is a drain on the public purse


• Because he is incompetant


• Because he is a bully


• Because he is morally corrupt


• Because he is an embarrassment to the country

NOT, however, for the good of the party!!! (Though, you must agree, he does make the rest of them seem comparitively adequate).
