Gordon Brown 'bigoted woman' comment caught on tape

[Hitman]

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been caught on microphone describing a voter he had just spoken to in Rochdale as a "bigoted woman".
Sixty-five-year-old Gillian Duffy had challenged Mr Brown on a number of issues including immigration and crime.
As he got into his car, he was still wearing a broadcast microphone and was heard to say "that was a disaster".

Tut tut, naughty Brown. Can't handle it?

Having watched the video of the woman being interviewed afterwards she seems quite rude.

It has to be remembered that Gordon, along with other Politicans is a person and people are allowed to have opinions etc. As far as Gordon knew, his conversation in that car was private.

Not one person can criticise Gordon Brown for his comments as every single one of us will make comments about people we have just conversed with behind their backs, it's a day to day thing. Gordon Brown can't stop being human.

I'm pretty certain that MOST politicians may complain to their PERSONAL PRIVATE advisors about people they have met - it's natural!

The only fault here was the fact that nobody ensured the microphone was turned off, whoever's fault that is I do not know, it could be Gordon's himself but nobody should be criticised for such comments as it's not as if they were meant to be made in public and are a simple human reaction.

I 100% agree with Oli, the UK is a democracy and therefore anyone, even the PM himself can vent and have opinions about people, it's only human nature.

I say he needs spanking, naughty boy! Kidding, everybody is entitled to an opinion... but RNB Queen you are hypocritical. You said that the BNP were not human - that is your opinion, but you're being horrible about them for their opinions...

This was it... "They're inhuman that's why, pathetic weirdos."

Anywho, she only asked questions and wanted to know what he was going to do and he says it was a disaster and calls her a bigot. He supposedly gave compliments to her and her family before he left lol.

Yes, Gordon should be allowed to call a woman a bigot, but Jeremy Clarkson cannot call him a one-eyed Scottish idiot, which he truly is. :rolleyes:

The media asked her like 60 questions to try and show that Brown is a moron. They are all biased and obviously they will make a huge deal about all this.

Do you think the BNP leader goes "Oh that Black man asked me some very nice questions"? Hell no. He probably swears all night that he had to talk to a Black man.

Do you think Cameron and Clegg say nothing about the people who ask them hard questions? They all *****.

[Hitman]

I'm sure if this was somebody from the UKIP, like Nigel Farage, you'd all be singing a different tune.

But maybe if he thinks that of people who ask him questions then he shouldn't be doing the job...

I think it crosses the line when you are insulting someone based upon a physical problem they cannot help

[Tintinnabulate]

If you watch their conversation, he was polite and friendly to her. Everyone *******.

Trying to defend the undefendable as ever on HabboxForum are we? If it's alright what he said why does he feel the need to apologise? You should see him cowering also when it's played back to him, truly pathetic.

David Cameron & Nick Clegg have never been called control freaks or arrogant people. As soon as he got in the car he was demanding who set him up this woman, trying to blame someone else straight away. It's been known for a while he's very arrogant, rude and angry with his staff and this is finally proof. The fact he "shouted" at people and "shoved" them with the bullying claims is just further evidence he is an unpleasant man.

This also displays how fake this whole campaign is and how he controls all of it. He meets Labour supporters, no members of the public. He tries to make it look real but it's all fake. Look at him smiling and thanking the woman before he gets in the car to let off steam. The difference is, Nick Clegg & David Cameron meet members of the general public, that's why they're used to facing abuse and getting egged, Brown is not and this is why.

The whole thing is a joke and it serves as proof what an arrogant man he is and how fake the whole campaign is. My favourite general election moment so far.
