Whitehall Farce

The Gorse Fox likes the opening paragraph of the Telegraph's commentary on John Prescott:
The longest-running Whitehall farce of modern times continues to provide fresh twists in a plot that would be highly amusing if the central character were not paid, handsomely, by the taxpayer to run the country when the Prime Minister is on holiday.
That about sums up this odious man - "the longest running Whitehall farce".

Why this is a particularly apposite description, is that whilst farce is genereally there to entertain, the Gorse Fox has never enjoyed farce - in fact he finds it excruciatingly tedious, and believes it panders to people with limted intellectual capacity. Direct hit - John Prescott. The article continues:
He was never fit to run a large, sprawling department, or any department for that matter

Well, Gorse Fox doesn't believe there can be any argument wit that.
The results, in terms of wasted billions and institutional ineptitude, have long merited his removal.
Absolutely, and he should be personally liable for the money he has stolen from the tax-payer to finance his ludicrous, failed schemes. We have seen ex-politicians from other countries being prosectuted for committing crimes against humanity. Is the a case for a prosecution for "crimes against the taxpayer"... or actually maybe it should just be fraud. He has, after all, fraudulently been claiming to run a major government department.
How much more evidence of his unfitness for office is required before he is removed from the stage completely?

Tony? Hello! are you there? Gorse Fox knows he sacked you and John Prescott last week, but really...
put the politics of the Labour succession aside and lower the curtain on Mr Prescott's antics for the sake of the country.
