I actually think that John Prescott won a lot of support for his reaction. My Dad who has never really been a fan of Labour backed Prescott for his actions.
@@jwillk42 natural defensive mechanisms, plus it showed that Prescott at least had a bit of self respect as well as a decent right hook. Bet mullet man never saw that coming.😜
It is quite sick that in 2001, which was already the 21st century, in a European country, this was supported by the far-right half of society. This is disgusting, a politician should not behave like this.
You're sick... No, being a politician is really not acceptable to abuse, but that doesn't change his unacceptable reaction. This disgusting primitive barbarism is completely unacceptable from anyone in the 21st century, especially from a politician. If someone hits you, file a report, but violence is never a solution. If you think that violence is acceptable in any case, then move away from civilization!!
Fortunately for the representatives of the conservative party, it would mean a 100% failure for both him and his party. Don't be fooled by internet comment sections!
oh yes brilliant not like the bunch of mummys boys you have now a days............... rumour was they made up later on and had a pint dont know about that
@@neilburns8869 This is not true. Even then, half of British society was against him, he was only popular among the far-right, but his party condemned what he did and had to defend himself. Although not much, the Labor Party lost its popularity because this incident was completely unacceptable.
Do you know that even then this caused a national outrage and was completely unacceptable? It almost cost him his political career, but unfortunately it didn't.
I remember watching this as a 13 year old and thinking that Prescott had made an arse out of himself. Watching now as an adult I think he deserved a round of applause.
If he knew what it was he probably wouldn't do it. He didn't see it, felt something hard and for all he knew the dripping could have been blood, he reacted. The egg thrower then jumps on a 60+ man... Yeah Prescott wasn't in the wrong here.
I just can’t believe that the egg thrower was prepared to attract any attention to himself whatsoever when wearing a mullet in the year 2001. In fact, that’s even worse than the egg throwing.
How dare you call a thug who throws an egg at another person from almost point blank range, a "protester"? He is lucky the police and others prevented the victim making a full response.
He deserved a slap for the mullet anyway, deep down his mullet shame probably drove him into wanting to be punched, so he just found the simplest way to achieve that goal.
If anything Prescott actually went up in a lot of people's estimation for knocking this pillock out. The silly man with the mullet who decided to throw an egg, probably ended up doing the exact opposite of what he had originally intended.
John Prescott was nicknamed 'Two Jags' & who could remember once when he & his wife Pauline got into a car & moved just a few hundred yards down the road at an event & when he was questioned about it he got rather annoyed about it & said that it was 'for security' & his wife 'didn't like her hair blown around' as it was fairly gusty at the time? Good old John Prescott! As his old boss Tony Blair said about that particular moment when JP punched that protester, 'John is John'. Enough said!
Completely different circumstances. John Prescot used reasonable force to defend himself. He didn't shoot and kill retreating people - he just punched and had a scrap. Tony Martin had already been warned about his behaviour, illegally owning a shotgun, killing people when they were retreating. It's completely different facts and circumstances. It's ridiculous to compare the two. 🤦🏼♂️
That fucking jab was laser guided to his chin, and you can see he was following up with the right for ye olde two piece but remembers himself and holds back. Guy can scrap that’s for sure.

He didn't give it a minute to process what happened. He just went straight in with a punch. Good on him. No nonsense crap.
This is completely unacceptable from a politician.
@@newyork6758Yes it is.
@newyork6758 I bet you are fun at party’s
@@newyork6758he was absolutely right - he didn't know what substance he'd been attacked with, and it could easily be a prelude to further assault..
Ya he was fast, I bet he thought about being attacked or egged before and thought “I’m just gonna punch them right away if anyone does that to me”

I thought it was brilliant. I’m not into politics but Prescott went up in my estimation. The bloke he punched is a muppet.
Good for him. Just because he's a public figure doesn't make him a public target. Nice punch!!
Nice punch 😂
Nice punch ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That jab was crisper than a cold freezing morning! 🤣🤣🤣

Connecting with the electorate.
probably the only time in my life where i respected a politician
Haha! Can't imagine one of today's Labour MPs having the nerve to punch a voter right in his face!
...All right, maybe Angela Rayner.

When politicians were real men! You've gotta luv him 😁😎
Funny that, he actually got a lot more support and respect because of how he reacted.😜

Wales was and remains a bit behind the times. And before any Welsh people have a go at me, I'm Welsh!
To be honest I don't think Prescott even noticed the egg. He saw that mullet out the corner of his eye and instinct kicked in 😂
When he turns too him the guys laughing at him expecting him too laugh, really? And then gets chinned haha
Nice short, sharp jab. Takedown defence needs work though
I see farmers were dodging their taxes then too.
You actually have to play this slow to appreciate it fully, the guys cocky smile wiped off in a fraction of a second. Absolutely legendary!😂
That was because Nessa left him. The poor man was distraught.
Best comment ever! If you know, you know 🤣🤣🤣
Who’s here after Keir Starmer got interrupted by a protestor throwing glitter at him during his speech at the Labour conference earlier today?
Yep 👍😁
No one. Just you.
From zero to fucking hero!! Nice punch 👊
That dude honestly had no thought whatsoever that Prescott was going to respond with a punch!
Language Timothy! No need for any swearing on here please! Comment cleanly or not at all!
@@matthewvwuk behave… just pure respect for the mutherfuckin punch Prescott delivered! He may be a twat… but at least he puts up a good fight!
Prescott was a total lad here😊
Barely milliseconds between the egging and the twatting
I found the blokes MULLET very offensive ? Especially in 2001 it should be a serious crime walking around with that haircut?
Good on you John! RIP from a through and through Tory Boy, always been a fan of yours.
Beautiful jab
Imagine that, a disliked politician. How rare! 👀
I'd be the same if a woman like Nessa left me 😔
Didn’t let that slide, mad props to him
It's such a decent punch
It's a good job he hit the right man.
I never like Prescott, but he was bang on to give the long haired hippy, a taste of his own medicine.
He went up in my estimation after that.
That's exactly what my Dad said.
Mullet man had it coming!
Bloody good punch by Prescott.
A very confused comment.
No, his popularity has obviously fallen. Just not so much that it fails, unfortunately.
Holy sh1t! That was a nice punch! 😂
English people with mullets are hilarious
How dare you call a thug who throws an egg at another person from almost point blank range, a "protester"? He is lucky the police and others prevented the victim making a full response.
Not him saying self defense that is so rare in the UK
Right? Like, bro, you work for Labour. You're literally the one signing the legislation that gets people charged for defending themselves.
“Next day he punched a civilian, when I saw it on the telly I knew that punch was meant for me” Nessa
A civilian? Who talks like that?
@@str.77 Elitists.
Typical female narcissism. Your ex gets in a fight (that he didn't start) and you think it's about you.
My key takeaway 20+ years on is that our police has been literally useless for decades.
He had a right to defend himself
What a fuckin G😂 Heard about this on Top Gear.
Not sure he was a good man but that's how to deal with that situation.
Ian Hislop: Ah, the dignity of office.
No fan of Prescott but fair play
All because Nessa broke up with him
RIP Legend!
Two jags, one jab
I love both the egging and the punch...
He deserved a slap for the mullet anyway, deep down his mullet shame probably drove him into wanting to be punched, so he just found the simplest way to achieve that goal.
Man of chaos
I remember seeing this a kid and dying of laughter
the real crime is the mullet
The way he swung back at him 😂
Nice jab John , stick and move, there ain't no tomorrow! 💪
Prescott believed he was punched first and the egg yolk was his blood.
Decent jab that as well. 😎
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 GOOD JOB
that punch was meant for nessa
The ‘Thrilla in Rhyla’
Legend 😂😂
If I reacted in self defense I'd be nicked.
Don’t mess with ole 2 jabs
Quick on the uptake there wasn't he, no hesitation just lamps him one lol

The silly man with the mullet who decided to throw an egg, probably ended up doing the exact opposite of what he had originally intended.
Well said !!
Well he didn’t “knock him out” considering Evans held him over a wall and had to be wrestled off of Prescott😂😂

Love John Prescott
Nice little left jab well deserved 👏
He use two box when he was younger
That was before the two jags, right?
Why were they protesting?
Farming issues.. big problem with foot & mouths at the time.
Yet they jailed Tony Martin.
Completely different circumstances.

His security person in a blue shirt made 2 appearances . One at the start for fame and another at the end to explain his shame 😳
say what you like about john prescott punching the bloke but it makes the nigel farage milkshake incident look somewhat embarrassing really🤣

No fan of prescott but he was bang on the money here
Oi Prescott, bring me a drink

I didn't realize how tiny Two Jabs is until I saw this ! He must be 5 feet 4 !
What happend to that guy who throw the egg

One egg, two jags
Hahaha I know the bloke who threw the egg at least it was free range he said presscott hit like a girl
The weight of his mullet probably shored up his neck, thus tempering the blow.
I mean, he threw an egg at him. Not really in a position to play the macho card, is he.
You maybe need to reassess your friends
