Prescott's Mistress Goes Crying all the Way to the Max Clifford Bank
John Prescott's worst nightmare has just come true. His former mistress Tracey Temple has signed up with Max Clifford. Expect some lurid revelations in tomorrow's tabloids. Of course she will be painted as a tart and a hussy in whichever of the papers don't buy her story.The only silver lining for Mr P is that she is now guaranteed to lose her job. Funny how the woman always loses in these situations isn't? Well, when I say 'loses', I obviously exclude the concept of 'losing money'.
Think we need to be fair here. (I'm not Ms Temple nor do I know her, by the way - and I'm not Max Clifford either!)
ReplyDeleteTracey Temple has now been thoroughly trashed in all the newspapers because of this relationship with Prescott. She is (or was.....) a career Civil Servant and doesn't look independently wealthy. These revelations can hardly have helped her career - whether you regard her as to blame or not isn't the point. Life has to go on and what is she going to live on if she has to leave the Civil Service - what other job is she going to get? John Prescott doesn't care about her and neither does anyone else in the Cabinet - it must be obvious to her that she's on her own.
So - survival being the name of the game - what would any of us do in her situation with the choices of - (1) no job, no money, no prospects, or (2) loadsamoney from the newspapers, and a healthy dose of revenge on JP as a sweetener?
Don't think we need put that to the board, do we............
According to The Times today, she's sold her story to the MoS for £250k - to pay that sort of money she must have some beans of the humungous variety to spill!
ReplyDeleteChances are she will lose her goldp lated pension so I hope the "hussy" is to be well compensated, shame that the cock of the Humber wont lose his pension.
