    And Gordon Brown wins the scum bag competition!

    BBC News - Gordon Brown 'mortified' by his 'bigoted woman' slur

    Gordon Brown has said he is "mortified" after being caught on microphone describing a voter he had just spoken to in Rochdale as a "bigoted woman".
    Gillian Duffy, 65, had challenged him on issues including immigration.
    As he got into his car, he was still wearing a broadcast microphone and was heard to say "that was a disaster".
    Mr Brown later spent more than half an hour at Mrs Duffy's house, apologising to her before telling waiting reporters he had misunderstood what she had said.
    He said: "If you like, I'm a penitent sinner. Sometimes you say things you don't mean to say, sometimes you say things by mistake and sometimes when you say things you'll want to correct them very quickly.
    "I wanted to come here and say to Gillian that I was sorry, I had made a mistake, but also to say I understood the concerns she was bringing to me and I had simply misunderstood some of the words she had used."

    Watch the clip, its on the link.

    Lies.

    This is the true side of Gordon Brown coming out - there's been talk of a bully and someone who can't take criticism but now we add liar. The pictures of him visibly crumpling when the Jeremy Vine radio show played the tape back to him speak volumes.

    Re: And Gordon Brown wins the scum bag competition!

    From a party which slams voters as racist and reactionary for talking about immigration, what more can we expect?

    If you don't agree with New Labour then you're fit for slander.

    The fact he got so worked up says more about the man than the woman. If she was 'wrong' in her viewpoint then why did the intolerant cycloptic sod get so het up?

    Typical bully - doesn't like being told anything other than what he likes to hear.



    He's a real Nowhere Man, sitting in his Nowhere Land..
    He's as blind as he can be
    Just sees what he wants to see.

    I'm really not doubting that he may be a bully. But I would like to know what she said.

    Toddlers who dislike spicy foods are racist.



    The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organizations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.
    This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food

    Re: And Gordon Brown wins the scum bag competition!

    Let's have a look.

    First, let's remind ourselves thathe's charming in public but an obnoxious toad in private: BBC News - Gordon Brown 'bigoted woman' comment caught on tape


    Now, the meat: Gordon Brown apologises to woman he called a bigot - UK Politics, UK - The Independent


    But in true Labour style, it seems they think the REAL people being a nuisance are the reporters:

    'A Labour press officer told reporters that Mrs Duffy would not make an immediate comment.

    He told the waiting press pack: "She just wants you to get off her drive."'



    The venomous, disrespectful, hypocritical aloof Left Wing anus! Had Browneye not been recorded, he would never in a million years have been apologetic!

    She basically did what I thought was a "voter's right" - ask your policy makers to answer a few toughish questions about govt policy. What particularly got him angry was when she asked him about immigration.

    The funny thing about the whole shebang is that after he left and got into his car (to call her a bigot) she said he'd persuaded her and she would vote for him.
