Gordon Brown like the Captain of the Titanic - Prescott
John Prescott defends Gordon Brown by comparing him with Titanic's captain
An attempt by John Prescott to rally support for the beleaguered Prime Minister seemed to have backfired after he compared him to the captain of the Titanic.
The former deputy prime minister made the comments on his internet blog to shore up support for Gordon Brown amid calls for a “new captain”.
He wrote: “But it wasn’t the Captain that sank the Titanic – a ship they claimed was unsinkable – it was the iceberg. “The best way to avoid disaster is to manage your way around the problem.”
Mr Prescott’s comments came as it emerged that the Prime Minister has instructed his closest aides to track down 10 junior ministers threatening to undermine his leadership by resigning- so he can sack them first.
