PREZZA: PULLING NO PUNCHES finally tells the remarkable journey of an 11-plus failure who became a union firebrand, a campaigning MP and Britain's longest-serving deputy prime minister. Whether you regard John Prescott as a street brawler, traitor to the left, grace-and-favour croquet player, philanderer and minister without a job; OR as the man who ensured crucial party modernisation, who helped get Labour back into power, who kept the peace between Brown and Blair, who fought with Al Gore to get the ground-breaking Kyoto Agreement signed and the voice of reason in the Cabinet - his life story makes for a compelling read.
With its fresh, modern approach and unique combination of practical application and theoretically critical discussion, 'Public Law' guides students to a clear understanding of not only the fundamental principles of the subject, but how they are relevant in everyday life.
From failing the 11-plus to becoming Britain's longest-serving deputy prime minister, John Prescott's story is one we may never see again. He began his journey into politics as a 'Hollywood waiter' on Cunard liners, where he stood up for the rights of his fellow seamen and went on to become a shop steward and union firebrand. Throughout his career, he has been the key link between old and new, between working and middle classes, and ultimately between Blair and Brown. This is the compelling life story of a man who has made mistakes, but has never stopped fighting for what he believes in.
John Prescott represents both Old and New Labour and his role is crucial to the party's success, yet his readiness to say what he thinks often causes difficulties for the Labour spin doctors. This biography documents the contribution John Prescott has made to the modernized Labour party.
The human tongue has somewhere up to eight thousand taste buds to inform us when something is sweet, salty, sour, or bitter—or as we usually think of it—delicious or revolting. Tastes differ from one region to the next, and no two people’s seem to be the same. But why is it that some people think maple syrup is too sweet, while others can’t get enough? What makes certain people love Roquefort cheese and others think it smells like feet? Why do some people think cilantro tastes like soap? John Prescott tackles this conundrum in Taste Matters, an absorbing exploration of why we eat and seek out the foods that we do. Prescott surveys the many factors that affect taste, including genetic...
The Deputy Prime Minister has a way with words second to none. He has also been at the centre of every slapstick moment of New Labour's government - soaked at the Brit Awards, chauffered 100 metres in high wind, befriending a crab called Peter, and delivering a sharp left to an attacker armed with an egg. And yet for five years he's been our Deputy Prime Minister, Hardy to Blair's Laurel. Here, for the first time, Guardian sketchwriter and columnist Simon Hoggart collects in one volume the magic of the man - the gaffes, blunders, jokes and swipes (verbal and physical) that have made John Prescott MP the figure he is today. Complete with film footage of his most celebrated moment …
