Whether his views are "senseless" or not...well, that's a matter of opinion, isn't it? I can guarantee that sections of tomorrow's leftwing press and various commentators will put forward the view that he was quite right and that this woman expressed views which were bigoted. Personally, I think that people who consistently express negative views about immigrants are displaying signs of bigotry, but my views count for nothing, because I'm not asking you to elect me as PM and that's another argument, anyway. However, I do think he's scored rather a large own goal here, all thanks to his own stupidity. Don't reckon it'll make any difference to Graham's vote, though. |

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
Oh dear! the Prime Minister is finally revealed as a cowboy, in Rochdale of all places.
Still, this may well put the immigration issue back on the map. I know the Sun was due to run on this at the beginning of next week (with the emphasis on Clegg's amnesty policy) but this could well advance the debate, on top of Brown's gaffe. |

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
Wynonie, not for a moment do I think you are that gullible(you have proved you aren't with many of your postings)........and I do appreciate your point, but I still think that there are things that politicians discuss that we would not benefit from hearing.
Mr Brown was obviously rattled by a staunch, life-long Labour party supporter taking him to task about his obvious failings....and having little in the way of answers to placate her, he lost the plot once he thought she was out of earshot. Gillian Duffy aired the issues that she was concerned about...the PM had no satisfactory answer for her. Politics is all about telling the electorate what they(the politicians) think we want to hear...it isn't about what is real and what is right....that wouldn't win any votes. Gordon Brown has done himself and his party no favours at all....and all the apologies in the world will not make the headlines any easier for him tomorow. As you rightly observed.....own goal, right in the back of the net. |

Oh No, the hatpin method has been consigned to the dustbin......I will put a cross against every name on the paper...to my daughter absolute horror......she is trying to convert me to act sensibly and vote properly....so far she is losing!
