MANY years ago when I was young my mother used to say: "I'll give you a medal when the treacle tin is empty".
I should like to announce two new Olympic events - Passing The Buck and The Hot Potato. It takes much practice, a great deal of skill... and the winners are: Gold: Tony Blair; Silver: Gordon Brown; Bronze: Jack Straw and Best Runner-up: John Prescott.
Could this be the same John Prescott of some years ago who so doggedly backed the Seamen's Union rights, or a clone?
