  1. 2:27 John Prescott was pressed by Tony Blair (the then Leader of thr Labour Party) what happened. To which Prescott replied: "I was only following your orders, Tony: you told us to connect with the electrorate, so I did!"

  2. It's worrying that all of these bar 1 has happened in my life time and I'm still in my 20s. The state of British politics/ politicians. Though I must admit, there are some really bad ones that this video misses. Maybe the people who made it are young too. But I would have thought Chamberlain's Munich Agreement would be up there, as would the Suez Canal crisis and the Profumo Affair

  3. I hate when people put gate after everything. People in other countries do know it was only called that cause the event took place at the Watergate hotel. Just adding gate to every scandal is just nonsensical.

  4. Should do a list of the top worst things Prince Phillip ever said:-

    “Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed” (during the 1981 recession).

    “You are a woman, aren’t you?” (in Kenya after accepting a small gift from a local woman).

    “If you stay here much longer you’ll all be slitty-eyed” (to a group of British students during a royal visit to China).

    “You can’t have been here that long, you haven’t got pot belly” (to a Briton he met in Hungary).

    “Aren’t most of you descended from pirates?” (to a wealthy islander in the Cayman Islands).

    “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test” (to a Scottish driving instructor).

    “It looks as if it was put in by an Indian” (referring to an old-fashioned fuse box in a factory near Edinburgh).

    “Still throwing spears?” (question put to an Aboriginal Australian during a visit).

    “There’s a lot of your family in tonight” (after looking at the name badge of businessman Atul Patel at a Palace reception for British Indians).

    “The Philippines must be half-empty as you’re all here running the NHS” (on meeting a Filipino nurse at Luton and Dunstable Hospital).

    Oh yes and wasn't there one saying when he died he wanted to come back as a deadly virus? Yeah good one Phil.

  5. Number 4 shouldn’t count because it wasn’t planned by him. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time & people really need to look back on why struggling to eat bacon is an apparent violation of becoming a PM.
