When the UK really had tough politicians who 'connected' with the public
John Prescott, the Deputy Prime Minister, left jabs a protestor in the face after being egged by him in the street (2001) He commented later:
"When I do die, after 50 years in politics, all they will show on the news is 60 seconds of me thumping a fellow in Wales."
RIP John Prescott 1938 - 2024
