Video: John Prescott campaigning in Grimsby town centre

“PS I suppose it's no wonder that Prescott is lining himself for this hugely responsible AND LUCRATIVE job. Particularly given he has some acquaintance with the workings of the Police Service!!

On several occasions the constabulary have had cause to aprehend him as he drove around the country at terrifying speed, presumably in one or other of his 2 Jags!!

Prescott has been fined for speeding 4 times, AND in 1991 was banned from driving for 21 days after Police clocked his speed at 105 mph on the M1.

On the M62 he was caught for driving at 80 mph in icy conditions in which the Police recommended a maximum of 30 mph!! (And this buffoon has the audacity to put himself up as our Police and Crime Commissioner!!??)

That was in 1997-after which, for 10 years, 2 jags and the Labour Govt were saved from further embarrassment by being chauffered in a ministerial limousine, at tax payers expense!!

But you know what they say? If you can't beat em; then join em! PLEASE ANYONE BUT JP4PCC”

“Nanamac - it's pretty obvious why we don't get told of his movements in advance - we might place a bulk order for eggs to give the letch what he deserves!!!”

“Who pays for these elections ? We could in a very short period of time be having another election if we elect a pensioner to this highly paid position, because even a Lord cannot live forever. As he gets older he will become more like us other pensioners, suffer memory loss, creak in the joints, and wish to retire to his bed earlier after taking an afternoon nap.
This is a position for a younger man not set into ancient ways or bully boy tactics.”

“What an utter buffoon, please ensure ANYONE other than this lickspittle is elected, personally, I don't see the need for the post at all, and I certainly don't want to be lining prescotts pockets again so he can eat even more pies and drive people to despair with his contemptible opinions and attitude. If I have to vote it will be for the candidate most likely to ensure this greedy sod is kept away from the expenses trough...!”

“John , have you not been on the "gravy train" long enough. You are considered too old for the "gravy train" in Europe. Unlike your friend Neil Kinnock who, like you, betrayed the working people of this country. I remember you, like Kinnock, wanted to destroy the House of Lords. Until the powers that be made you a Lord. Now a fully paid up member of the Upper Class !!
When will you feel some shame and leave us alone. I fear never, the pull of the pound is too strong for you and the rest of New Labour. Never mind, if anyone puts up a reasonable argument against you, you will revert to your bully boy tactics and shout them down.
People dont fall for this man, he is wearing the "emperors cloths" as he has done for the last 30 years of his political career. He just wants your MONEY !! He is a complete contril freak.”

“Why wasn't his visit notified to us yesterday when we could have gone along and questioned him today - thanks Telegraph - efficiency personified as usual. I dread the thought of this labour lout being appointed our Police Commissioner - how much lower can we go?”

“Another political blunder..... Or is it a case of I'll egg you!!!

But how many times do we see We will DEcrease crime but never the case?

another wannabe that thinks he can do it.”

“The good folk north of the river ridicule him at every opportunity. Go to the this is Hull website and search.”

“Unfortunately there are more votes in Hull than there are in NEL so I fear the worst.”

“How dare you raise his profile by raising him to oaf?

The man's a fool.

Lord Prescott said: "I don't accept the extent of these cuts and I will be wanting to stop them if I am elected."

I will be wanting to stop them - wanting and doing are two different things your Lordship.

Just another trough for him to get his snout into.”
