Kitty Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 He was caught with his mike still on and then when they played it back to him on a radio station, he had no idea that there was a television camera focused on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 He has gone on to take the whole worlds press to the poor womans doorstep in an effort to dig himself out of the hole he has put himself in ..Does Mrs Duffy want all this ? I am sure Brown does not care if she does or not as long as he digs himself out !I feel sorry for Mrs Duffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Unfair as it might seem, he is now clearly accident-prone and, when someone gets like that, they need to be sidelined and kept out of sight as much as possible.Would be interesting to see what tomorrow's debate shows up. Gaffe- and accident-prone....in the cut-throat and unforgiving world of politics, these things are impossible to live down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just john Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 This unelected man has so much hubris, I believe history can only be satisfied with complete humiliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekJ Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It just illustrates what we all know... the total distain that politicians have for the electorate. Stand up in public, promise us the world, pretend to be sincere and lie through their teeth.Brown manages to compound his unpleasant characteristics by being totally incompetent to govern as well.

Gluestick Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Well: I listened earlier (BBC Radio Four The World At One: should be possible to hear it on catch-up) to Brown's earlier conversation with the woman.And his later comments via radio mike when he was back in his car.For me it shows just how truly insincere politicians actually are and what a charade their "Meet the people" spin really is.Worse, it demonstrated what utter contempt politicians hold the elector in: and how empty and duplicitous their rhetoric actually is.

After that I would never vote for Labour while he is their leader, mind you I wouldn't vote for them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 According to the Labour spin machine he was letting off steam after a difficult conversation.If having a discussion with one of your party's life long supporters is viewed as 'difficult' then he is clearly out of his depth.

Frederick Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 I am surprised he has lasted this long .I was expecting a poor poll result to have brought on a medical event so he could head for the hills by now . I suppose there is time yet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It seems regardless of our political leanings most of us are unanimous in our ontempt on this occasion..I personally think that the same sort of thing could and has been said by most politicians of whatever party about the great unwashed etc but very few of em have been stupid enough to get caught saying it.

Gemonimo Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I would have been more impressed if, after his apology, he came out and said he had had a long conversation with "Mrs Duffy" rather than saying he'd just had a long conversation with "Gillian".

DerekJ Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 They say he was "mortified"...... yes, I bet he was. Mortified that he'd been found out for the charmer he is. He said he'd "misunderstood what she said". Oh yeah, of course he did. We all believe that pigs might fly as well Brown. His insults to our intelligence just keep on coming.

Kitty Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Why did he go back to "Gillian's" house? He should have left her alone. She doesn't need the press parked out on her doorstep.GB is renowmed for his bad temper. This incident showed it up.Tomorrow's leaders debate: I agree with Gillian....

Russethouse Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 ....but nothing in todays papers. On 'Breakfast' they said that rumour has it that she was asked to endorse a rival candidate and refused. All the worse from Brown as it looks like (at the moment, it may change) she a least sticks to her principals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
