[FROGMOUTH]

thats the labour line on these topics.

if you want to discuss immigration, islamisation, european union memberships, war of iraq/afganisthan, then you are a bigot/nazi/idiot

Brown on his way back to the lady's house to apology, mass of media on the doorstep..............

.........please please don't answer the door

[MANTIS01]

So excellent. I love the fact the departing Brown snap blamed one of his staff called "Sue" for "putting him with that woman". Yah Gord it's clearly Sue's fault you can't talk to a random old woman without good gaming yourself.

loved Browns hand on head in Vine interview, lol

Serious face-palm. 

Don't think he made a bad chancellor (obviously some would disagree), but he's a terrible front-man for a party/government/country.  Don't think there's time for Labour to replace him before the election though

[TightEnd]

Classic election gaffe of course


I don't even think what she said was bigotted at all.

I might not share the concerns but a lot of people are worried about levels of immigration and to express the concern as mildly as she did and get called out for it is lol


and which spin doctor made him go back to her house? Surely the best strategy is to front up, explain why you think it';s bigotted and fight back!

VOTERS make sure you have cleaned your house before asking Gordon Brown about immigration issues

Is there any possibility of him losing the Labour leadership before the election?

While this really should be the end of his political career it will also be hugely damaging for the Labour party if he remains in charge. He wasn't exactly particularly popular in the first place but this just shows him up as a two faced AAA+ twat and gives Labour an even better chance of third place. Every Labour politician that publicly defends him is showing themselves up too.

Pretty spectacular GG though.

...

It's not politically possible for the party's good
I don't think it's even technically possible
And anybody who wants to be the next leader will be better off waiting until after the election for their own good

So, No, would be the short answer.

[George2Loose]

this'll die down before the election methinks. Big own goal obv but like they all don't mutter shit behind closed doors. Will make the next debate quite interesting tho!

Thanks Jon.

I think the only possible difference it could make is it a better chance of the conservatives getting a majority instead of a hung parliament, but we will see.

[sovietsong]

lol @ all the people coming out saying what a twat gordon brown is.  how many times have you said something behind somebodies back even if it wasnt based on absolute fact?

I do it all the time, especially about tightend.

I'm certainly no fan of Brown, (Or any of the others for that matter) but I think it's a sad reflection on our country if elections are decided on issues as trivial as this.

It was stupid, and not what the leader of the Labour party should be saying.

Just in case anyone missed it, this is what he said:

Brown: "Oh everything, she was just a sort of bigoted woman. She said she used be Labour. I mean it's just ridiculous."
