Mr Nice Guy

If the following story from The Guardian is true, then well done Mr Prescott:

"London's streets and tube stations may be brimming with suspicion, fear and armed police, but one politician is refusing to let the terror threat come between him and the public.
John Prescott, who is standing in for Tony Blair while the prime minister is on holiday, had just chaired a No 10 meeting on the security situation yesterday when he decided to get some air.
Having foregone the comforts of his ministerial Jaguar, he was strolling back to his office in the sunshine when he spied an awestruck family standing near the entrance to Downing Street and staring in his direction.
The deputy prime minister walked over to them and inquired whether they fancied a quick peek
along the corridors of power. The couple and their three young children were soon whisked through the iron gates and a security check and through the famous black door of No 10. They got to see the cabinet room, the white room - often the setting for interviews - and the grand staircase, with its portraits of all previous British prime ministers.
The family, who are thought to be from London and were believed to have been heading for Covent Garden when they met Mr Prescott, were then escorted back out to the street by him."
