Might be worth a listen. This bit certainly rings true: "He had a weight not all transport ministers have had. Sometimes it's been a job either for young ministers on the way up who can hardly wait to get a better job, or for old ministers on the way down who resent that they've been demoted." The deputy prime minister wasn't like that, says Phil Goodwin |

Maybe we shouldn't vote for him in the general election, then? That would be difficult as he has announced he is standing down from the Westminster parliament and I don't think he intends to give people the opportunity to vote for him in another arena. I did come up with the quote though, according to Wikipedia: "Integrated transport policy "On coming to office, Prescott pursued an integrated public transport policy. On 6 June 1997, he said: "I will have failed if in five years time there are not...far fewer journeys by car. It's a tall order but I urge you to hold me to it."[12] However, by June 2002, car traffic was up by 7%. This prompted Friends of the Earth’s Tony Bosworth to say "By its own test, Government transport policy has failed".[13]" -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000...#pt3-pb3-l1g54 |

Exactly; so any promise that he might be held to account is empty. -- Roland Perry |
