      ​@@HaydenCyclist thoroughly deserved it was too. Guy's history in parliament was incredible and he remains one of the best politicians we've seen. Spoke for the working people and was a fundamental Labour person. That punch was a side story, but shows how relatable he was.

    I remember seeing him on TV with a teenage girl who was rejecting that she was working class even though she clearly was. She saw it as an insult John saw it as a badge of honor. We need a lot more like him as MPs

    I remember John Prescott giving an interview where he talked about going to a secondary modern school. This happened to me but I passed the 13+ and I can tell you that I was told that I would never be a nurse or have a profession but I could be a shop girl provided I had a nice accent. The education was barely adequate. The shame was terrible for me and my parents. I knew exactly where he came from. Well done John Prescott, respect, RIP.
