"Awful" is not the actual word I would have liked to use regarding the unpleasant Prescott.

One thing that still annoys me is the way Prescott was almost 'excused' for punching that man during the 2001 General Election campaign. Had that been a Conservative minister who had done such a thing the media would have ensured that we never heard the end of it. However, Prescott's aggression was regarded by some to be almost amusing.

I never found it funny. Those pictures of Prescott hitting that man were shown around the world and did this country's world image no favours.
