So, it's Deputy Prime Minister Johnny (two fingers) Prescott is it, doing every thing in twos, as he does?

Now, if that had been your local City councillor sticking two fingers up to the Press, he or she would now be waiting to appear before the Standards Board for England and, in all probability, be found guilty, thus facing disqualification as a councillor for behaviour not of a standard expected of an elected person.

I wonder if the Deputy PM will be answering to the Standards Board for England. I think that question answers itself, doesn't it?

Oh, and guess who's responsible for setting the standards? Why none other than the secretary of state.

And who is the secretary of state? Yes, you've guessed it, Johnny (two fingers) Prescott.
