MrsTrellisfromNorthWales Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Transcript of a conversation between Mark Choueke, a reporter on the South (i.e not real) Wales Argus and the deputy prime minister. Mark Choueke: How did you and your cabinet colleagues react to Peter Law's decision to quit the party after 35 years service to Blaenau Gwent as a Labour politician? John Prescott: It didn't even register with us. The voters just have one choice, vote Labour otherwise they'll end up with a Tory government. It's unfortunate that some of our decisions upset some people. MC: But this isn't about upsetting Peter Law, it's about upsetting the many thousands of Labour voters in Blaenau Gwent who helped you form a strong government they feel alienated. JP: Why are you asking me about this, I don't care, it's a Welsh situation, I'm a national politician. MC: Are you too big to care about the Labour voters in Blaenau Gwent? Do you think there may be something in your party's methods of working that require a rethink when a politician chooses to stand against you after 35 years service to Labour? JP (walking away): Where do they get these amateurs from? You're an amateur mate, go get on your bus, go home. MC: Are you too big for the regional press now John? JP: Bugger off - get on your bus you amateur. MC (Following Deputy Prime Minister): Is my interview over John? Because if that's all you've got to say, that's what will go in the paper. JP (turns aggressively back to reporter): Ooohh, I'm scared, go ahead, put it in your paper. Labour candidate for Monmouth Huw Edwards: I could answer this question for you Mark... MC: I hoped to hear what the deputy prime minister had to say about it. JP (now ignoring reporter): I've never seen a school in such a lovely setting. MC: Is that my interview over?

Rog Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I don't know why Labour keep him, he must know where some awfully big bodies are buried. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. He is kept to keep old (proper) Labour supporters 'on-song'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
