[News] John Prescott RIP

RIP and thank you.

I liked him, unlike other politicians from all the main parties he came across as direct, honest. And that reactive punch will always live in the memory!

"Prescott give us a ground. Presscott Presscott give us a ground"

Thank you very much

Rest in piece JP.

I admired Prescott, the same way I admired Tony Benn and Margaret Thatcher. Regardless of their views, they were passionate and said what they believed in. He never changed (despite the croquet moment) and that is to be applauded. Oh to have politicians on both sides now like him. It's a sadder world without them.

We would not have got Falmer without him. Prescott not only granted the initial permission for the stadium, he understood why we needed it. John embraced the campaign with grace and humour and we will forever be grateful to him. RIP John.

RIP TJJP

Thanks for all he did in getting us the Stadium, and his instinctive reaction to the egg hurling mullet twunt was a thing of beauty, though of course all violence should be abhorred…

Wish we had a few more in the Party like him now.

Thanks big man for you're part in our history, you won't be forgotten.

(I guess you saw the new Jag branding and thought "right that's me done").

Chicken Run · Nov 21, 2024

Rest in Peace JP, a true man for the people, a lesson the current lot could learn from.

RIP JP

A notable figure in British politics wherever you stand.

Two Jags, a good jab and forever a crucial part of the Albion journey to Falmer.

Rip... perhaps we could have a pie named after him.

As has been said above, he was at the Kyoto climate conference when he was approached by someone, who after asking him a few climate questions, then said 'and now I need to talk to you about the Brighton and Hove Albion stadium' to which JP replied 'you bloody seagulls get everywhere'.

I love this so much.

Loved it when Danbert Nobacon poured that ice bucket over his head. Just another archetypal champagne socialist, whatever he may or not have done for Falmer it'd never change my view of him

Nothing on official site re a tribute/ récognition. I hope we are not going woke

One of those politicians who you admire even if its mixed with love or hate. Wasn't one to change a position just to be popular.

Glad for everything he did for us. RIP

RIP JP. He gave us our stadium and was the saviour of the club.
