Keep up the good work Lettsy...................you have the guts, but can Twojags find the words, should be good fun watching this typing pool praying fat lizard make another fool of himself based on what we already know...........................I'll bring the pies.

Quentin Letts once wrote a book criticising Britain's culture of mediocrity, but he himself is one of the most mediocre journalists to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). An 8 year old could have written his article, and made a much better job of it. The Tories wanted to rout out the so called non-jobbers in the public sector. Letts is only one example of tens of thousands of real non-jobbers in the private sector who get paid far more & do far less than those being sent to the dole queue.

Prescott couldn't win a game of tiddlywinks against a 5 year old ... thick, or what ..??

Phew! I've just read all the posts and the vast majority is from 'toff', Daily Mail and Quentin Letts haters banging on about some sort of class war...what mystifies me most is those who denegrate the DM and QL it seems would never read them...but you must read them to form an opinion surely?

If he needs some matches I dont mind supplying a few

Having witnessed Prescotts antics on Newsnight and other such programmes,I seriously doubt that it is possible have a debate with him. He is essentially a bully,not afraid to tell you how good he thought he was and only interested in the sound of his own loud voice.
He clearly lacks any sense of humour and obviously believes that Quentin Letts was serious. At 70+ it is time that he grew up and concentrated on enjoying his perks in the House of Lords?!!!

and it,s the likes of these two that run this once great country, very sad.

Probably a publicity stunt by the pair of them !

Stand up to bullies? Prescott has a very short memory. Maybe he should review his own past before accusing others.

Prescott lost this debate the moment he rose to Quentin's bait.

It was a spoof article folks, meant in jest, not to be taken seriously, a written caricature, a cartoon in words. If you don't like Letts don't buy the Daily Mail (I certainly don't) or buy it and skip his column. People getting excited about Letts' suggestion to Prescott should recall the vitriol with which Prescott has attacked others, particularly the so called champagne socialists, the Tories, the rich, the upper class, liars, those who live in big houses et al. What does he do? He lives in a turreted mansion, he accepts a peerage, he milks his expenses, he lies consistently and has a sordid affair, he gets rich off the back of taxpayers money and worst of all in my estimation; he presided directly over Govt mismanaged and useless schemes that cost us £billions. In short he has become a caricature of everything he railed against...a champagne socialist. That all aside Letts' article is just another Clarkson moment, in a couple of days noone will be giving it the time of day, there are far more important things to worry about than the words of some hack that, I suspect, most people are complaining about have never read other than in spmeone else's report. I don't like Letts and I don't like Prescott, what are we going to do? FIGHT!

Does not take much imagination and no serious journalism to write utter crap like this. Only way this guy is in the spotlight just now is because of this, no professional journalist would lower themselves to his level. Gutter journalism is still alive and kicking, unfortunately.

Why are these right winghers so full of hate. Clarkson making jokes about shooting strikers, Letts hoping Prescott kills himself. A Conservative MP hanging around with people who dress as Nazis in France. People posting on here about shooting and killing as revenge for murders. Senior Policemen advocating shooting, rubber bullets and water cannon

This is Cameron's supporters sick society. The Nasty party full of nasty people carrying out nasty policies. The world was a much nicer place when Labour was in power (Stand by for sneers and jeers)

He should know about bullying.A serial adulterer and enemy of the working class

Dear Mr Letts, a mirror is on it's way to you, please use it before insulting others.
Your sincerely
Blah blah blah

This should be fun!
