Regarding the recent episode involving John Prescott rescuing holidaymaker Graham Cook in Snowdonia, the Deputy Prime Minister was with a couple of minders who probably gave a hand in the rescue.

What a wonderful piece of public relations for Mr Prescott.

The sting in this tale was Mr Cook stated he was not a Labour voter - how wonderful. Good for him.

A relative of mine once served Mr Prescott with a drink in a hotel and reported that he gave him a good tip.

So, enjoy your five minutes of heroic fame, Mr Prescott.
