Well, the votes are in. In addition to Deputy PM John Prescott's assertion that our venerable leader is
crap, ten of ten British MPs surveyed
agree with Prescott.
It is nice to see acknowledged that Bush has indeed been a disaster for the American people:
Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London: "I have no idea what John Prescott did or did not say since it was a private conversation, but... the current US administration has been a disaster for the American people and has done untold damage not only to international relations but to the environment."
And it is nice to see other British MPs so unequivocally supporting Prescott:
- Ian Davidson: "John Prescott is to be commended..."
- Glenda Jackson (gosh, I loved her as Lady Macbeth): "I entirely endorse his view."
- Ann Cryer: "I agree with it."
I think this signals a tide change in Britain, as far as the government is concerned (we've known for a while what the British press thinks of Bush). And what with Bush's poll numbers here in the USA, I hope it coincides with a tide change here, as well.
