Oh My! Sleazy Sexual Politics in the UK!

[leftchick]

This reads like a dirty novel! If we had journalists like this in the US perhaps the repuke prostitute scandal would be more news!

'We both knew it was risky'
A series of intimate revelations of John Prescott's affair have been spelled out in detail by his former lover Tracey Temple in the Mail on Sunday newspaper. What has she said?

"If I was wearing a skirt, he would slide his hand up my leg, under it. He used to stroke my back.

"And yes, I did give him sex in the office a couple of times.

"He would usually be going through his ministerial box - maybe things to do with regeneration or the environment.

"Things always started with touching. It might have been me touching his arm or him patting me on the back.

"I would go in for some task with the diary.

"Sometimes the touch would start something, we would kiss and things would go on from there."



Mr Prescott phoned his ex-lover once after the affair was exposed

Labour aide: Prescott was serial groper

'He was a boastful, arrogant pig. He just jumped on you'


A FORMER senior Labour aide has alleged that John Prescott sexually harassed her over a two-year period.


Tricia McDaid, a former political journalist and press officer at Labour party headquarters, said the deputy prime minister “jumped” on her at parties and once turned up uninvited at her home, hoping for sexual favours.

She said yesterday: “He just leapt on me at one party and his tongue was halfway down my throat.”

Such was Prescott’s reputation, she said, that she resorted to wearing trouser suits to avoid his wandering hands in the lifts at his Westminster office. She added that she was too afraid to protest at the time for fear of losing her job.

1. Not as good as the Profumo scandal in the UK, IMO.

They made a very good movie about that one with John Hurt and Ian McKellan —
