    1. John had an unwavering dedication to the people of Hull. Having known John for all of my life, I know firsthand the impact that he had on many thousands of people across the city and the country.

    1. There was nothing about John which fitted conventional wisdom.
    2. The completely unique Prescott blend of charm and brutality — made always more effective by the unpredictability of which would be predominant — got you through the decade, kept the government together and above all, gave me a lot of fun. I was lucky to have you as my deputy.
