The Mail is today reporting that John Prescott is considering a role as a police commissioner. I think he may have misunderstood (wouldn't that be strange?), the idea is that we get better policing, not the old crony based policing of his days in 'High Office'. The idea is that people who go around fighting in the street don't get special treatment because of the position they hold.
Tony Blair had special reasons for having a half wit as a deputy, the nation and the police have their fill currently and aren't looking for any more. In fact, the new elected posts have a key remit of eradicating the stupid non-policing that is the vogue for senior officers at present.
Can you imagine how Prescott would spend his time as a police commissioner? None on things that matter, 80% out of the office, sunning himself at public expense or playing bowls and 20% insisting Labour party members don't get prosecuted.
