| Prescott denies anti-Bush remark |
| 2006-08-17 |
| John Prescott has denied a report he said the Bush administration had been "crap" on the Middle East road map. The Independent newspaper claimed the deputy prime minister made the remark during a private meeting on Tuesday with a number of Labour MPs. It also said he called the US President a "cowboy with his Stetson on". Mr Prescott issued a statement in which he said: "This is an inaccurate report of a private conversation and it is not my view." |

| #5 like "cracker", which I find pathetically humorous, rather than offensive. |

| #4 They still have not figured out that we don't consider 'cowboy' to be an insult. |

| #3 No it's the truth. He is covering his arse. The majority of the Labor party believe this and are actively anti Isreal and US. He simply was spweaking his mind. It leaked out now he is covering his behind. We need to face the reality that the BBC speaks for the UK and the Labor party. 100% anti US and ant Israel 100% of the time. The UK is currently an ally in Iraq and Afghanistan. Notice I say currently. As soon as Blair is out expect that to end. The numner of Britons that support the WoT or even believe their is one is a minority. For the way the rest of the UK thinks just look at their press. Prescott said it you can be sure. |

| #2 I suggest a non-title bout. 12 rounds in Atlantic City. That should put this to bed. |
