Prescott Minions Forced to the Streets

Thousands of civil servants from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) were removed from their London HQ this lunchtime.

The ODPM was formed to give Prescott something to do after he had messed up the environmental, transport and regional aspects of the old Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR).

Fire alarms were reportedly activated at ODPM's swanky Westminster building, which triggered the evacuation of all of its three and a half thousand civil servant capacity.

Prezza is sixty-seven next month and rumours are that he may not be in a position to hold onto his bizarrely spread empire for much longer.

ODPM is responsible for housing, planning, local government finance, local democracy, regional assemblies, the government offices for the regions, the social excision unit, the neighbourhood renewal unit, the fire service, regeneration and the Thames Gateway scheme.

Officials were not available to comment on suggestions that the exercise may have been a dry run for 6 May.
