Watch out Japan. Lock up your geishas. John Prescott is coming to play diplomat in the Far East, where he is to solve the problems of North Korean nuclear testing, militant Islam and climate change. As the Daily Telegraph observes,

The Americans send out Condoleezza Rice, a respected foreign affairs specialist. We send a philandering buffoon.

The only reason this clown can still enjoy his croquet at the taxpayer's expense is that Tony Blair's political position is so weak that he dare not sack any cabinet minister whose loyalty can be totally relied on.
