I never thought I would find myself praising John Prescott’s use of the English languauge, but he seems to have given up wrestling it into submission and has come up with some great quotes at the Blackpool conference:
“What we have is Cameron the chameleon. He can change the colour of his skin at will.”
“The Tories will come to learn that voters won’t trust anyone who writes a right-wing manifesto one month and disowns it a few weeks later. That is not courage, that is not conviction – it is pure, naked opportunism.”
And my favourite:
“They might call themselves compassionate and caring, but we know different. They can change the label any time they like but it is the same old poison in the bottle.”
OK, I know that someone probably wrote it for him, but he still managed to deliver it. I have noticed an increased tendancy in the Tories both locally and nationally to jump on any passing bandwagon and say anything, regardless of whether they believe it, if they think it will make people like them.
I have always known it was ‘the same poison in the bottle’ and now there is a decent way to sum it up. Thanks John!
