Not only did his hopes of bringing the nation to its knees on Wednesday, with the strikes that got minimal support from UNISON members let alone the rest of the population, he then went on to make a big fuss about a joke made by Jeremy Clarkson on The One Show that has spectacularly backfired (clearly he hadn't watched while clip because if he had he would have seen it was a joke about balanced journalism on the BBC and Clarkson makes it clear he presented two contrasting opinions, not his own). Still, Prentis in his wisdom (lol) threatened legal action against Clarkson and wanted him sacked by the BBC.
Comrade Prentis gets paid nearly £100k a year for leading UNISON through gaffes like that, plus various benefits, expenses and generous pension and, while encouraging the low-paid to give up a day's pay just before Christmas, Prentis won't, of course, have lost a penny of wages.
Surely there's no one else who's had a worst week?
Still, things could get worse for Prentis, maybe his members will realise embarrassing them twice in one week doesn't justify such a huge salary and get rid of this Calamity Jane.
