I didn’t know that John Prescott was a waiter at one point in his life before I read this blog entry. I always had a lot of respect for the man, and I think this just increases it. The fact that he’s had to stand up to such immature and unimaginative insults from the Tory side makes me think even less of that upper class establishment. I value the perspective of someone who’s worked hard their entire life far more than someone who has lived off their parent’s estate. Besides, as the BBC article points out, “the job of a waiter in the 1950s had its fair share of glamour - travelling to exotic destinations like America, Canada and Australia.”
