He may have said yes Gareth, but it wasn't him that rubber stamped it.

Looks like he's on the webcam being shown how to do an uppercut, and there's a TV camera too.

John Prescott is a f***ing legend and my favourite ever Labour mp. Ok he screwed up the paperwork but lets never forget it was John that green lighted Falmer.

I like him too. I used to know his brother very well and I have met the man, very nice guy out of the public spotlight. Also, I loved the way he thumped that tosser who threw an egg at him.
 




Barrel of Fun

Abort, retry, fail
Plenty of politicians locally decided to block or delay it on no more than personal preference, BoF...

That is different from granting permission on planning grounds!

Infidelity, misuse of grace and favour accommodation, supposed sexual harassments, maintaining benefits of the DPM despite being demoted and so on...

Er, wasn't it his fault that it got delayed for a year? We'd be there now otherwise.

He was advised, he rubber stamped all the decisions so he neither took or gave us Falmer.

He's not, he's showing Prescott the uppercut technique.

I think the blokie is saying:

"Now John, the pie stand will be over there - let us know
in advance if you're coming down - we'll order an extra
truck load"

prescott's updated his blog about today:

"Back on the Prescott Express again - and we're getting plenty of media bids to come on board. Thought the offer of Will Self from the Today programme was a joke. Amazed when they said it was true.

But space is tight so we've had to politely decline. That and the fact we don't have a toilet on board.

Today the Prescott Express visited the new £90m Falmer Stadium which will be the home for Brighton and Hove Albion from August 2011. I originally gave planning permission after a great campaign by the Seagulls to persuade me. It was never nasty - always humorous - with the fans even sending flowers to Pauline and me on Valentines Day.

Martin Perry, the club's brilliant Chief Executive, said fans come down at the weekend just to gaze at the site. One man brings his own step ladder.

The Lib Dems bitterely opposed it, chief amongst them 'Smilin' Norman Baker. I see he's grudgingly admitted defeat and wished the fans the best.

I know from seeing the KC built in Hull how it can transform a city, bring in investment and foster a fantastic community spirit. That's why I'm delighted to see Brighton will reap the same benefits from Falmer.

But it made me think. Under Cameron's DIY government proposals, nimbys like Norman would have a much greater say and would have been able to stop this application stone dead right at the start.

Another good reason to keep Cameron out.

Finally, here's a little vlog with me and our excellent PPCs, Simon Burgess (Brighton Kemptown) Nancy Platts (Brighton Pavillion) and Celia Barlow (Brighton and Hove.)"
