The ThunderDragon: Get Well Soon, Prezza

05 June 2007

Get Well Soon, Prezza

I blogged just a few days ago about the irony of John Prescott returning from his junket to Jamaica and ending straight up in hospital with what was said to be a chest infection. It turns out that what he actually has is pneumonia - which can be serious in someone as old as Prescott is, at 69.

When I wrote about Two Jags going into hospital before I ended with:

"That he comes back from Jamaica and then ends up in hospital with a chest infection is quite amusing. (So long as it isn't serious, of course. Not even Prescott deserves that.)"

And I stand by that. Not even a politician like Two Shags, with his hypocritical version of socialism deserves a serious illness. No-one does. Thus I shall take this opportunity to say Get Well Soon to Prezza.

It is likely that he won't get out of the hospital until around the end of June - when he leaves his job and whoever has been elected from the field of six candidates replaces him - as deputy leader, even if not as Deputy Prime Minister.

UPDATE: Prescott is "laughing and joking" in hospital, so he can't be too bad.
