Prescott cheers up Labour...

[stackpole]

... by comparing them to the Titanic!

Oh dear (BBC)

The former deputy prime minister was undoubtedly trying to be helpful to Gordon Brown when he made the point that it wasn't the captain who sunk the Titanic, it was the iceberg which did the damage.

Well who steered into it?

[DimPrawn]

I hope the makers of the Titanic sue. ******* cheek comparing something elegant and impressive as the Titanic to "New" Labour.

[DaveB]

As ever with John Prescott, you know exactly what he meant... it's just that the actual words have got in the way again.

As Alan Partridge once said

There's a lot of bad things written about the Titanic, but don't forget that until it hit the ice berg there had been thousands of miles of perfectly happy and non eventful sailing.

(or words to that effect)
