"bigoted woman"

I thought he called her a big toed woman.........well that's dyslexia for you.

Apologise - fine. She's accepted it - fine


But the masses have seen his true colours. The lid cannot be put back on the box

It gets funnier everytime I see it on the news. Channel 4 coverage was excellent, especially as they filmed the woman listening to the recording in the TV van

As the guy from the daily mail just said, the eye opening thing is how 1 min before he was having a nice conversation with the woman and left on good terms, then 1 min later, hated her and meant something else.
So what else is he lying about, how could anyone trust anything he says when minutes later says something else, its just lip service, says whatever he thinks we wanna hear but thinks (and says) the opposite.



He has to be the most unpopular PM ever not to be voted in

However I have to say on this occasion the woman was very reasonable and was only expressing a mild and reasonable question about why many eastern Europeans are here. She was NOT a bigot IMO.
Forget 'in private' explanations, or unethical, off the record guff.
We now have a clear sight of the man's true thoughts about the people who are living and working in this country and who used to vote Labour.

This has made my day.

Nailed it!

Probably one of the best gaffs I've ever heard.

I'll bet the Labour grandee's are sharpening their knives.

Just saw the video of it being played to him live during his radio 2 interview with JV, he went grey and shrunk about 6 inches (height and elsewhere I should imagine).

We've all been caught out like this sometime heh heh.

He should count his blessings he didn't say anything worse.

How great it would be if we could hear more of these 'closed door' insults and see which leader has got the most venom.

Personally I think he was right.

She didnt pay a blind bit of notice to what he was saying, talk of "they" (immigrants) as if they're something she trod in.

We all say things in private we dont want other people to hear, he's no different. And to spout crap like "oh he shouldn't think like that as Prime Minister" need to take their heads out of their arses.

Im sure EVERYBODY will disagree with me on this, as nobody wants to have their jobs taken by people prepared to work harder for less

Keith, the subject of immigration has been taboo for a long time because everyone thinks they'll be accused of being racist.

I think that Mrs Duffy has every right to express her concerns, and then to say that she is 'bigoted' is not fair. Isn't it the politician's job to explain where he is coming from, and to explain why his policies are appropriate? He plainly didn't succeed - so then attributed the blame for his failure to communicate to Mrs Duffy, by describing her as 'bigoted'. No she isn't bigoted, she is only saying what many people think, and if Mr Brown failed to persuade her that his polices on immigration are appropriate then he has only himself to blame.

But Ed she clearly wasnt listening to him

And if she's saying what many people think then maybe they are bigots too?

You're right the immigration card is taboo and people are seen as racist, again probably cos they are deep down
