The media are always acting like morons. They were showing the secret document the man carried in his hand last year past the cameras into downing street and were moaning about how dangerous it is for national security. If its that dangerous then just warn the government and not post it on every page of your news website "/

It is a disgrace that we have a free media in this country which exposes how arrogant and corrupt our politicians really are(?) - we may aswell declare a dictatorship with that appaling party political attitude which I am sure you would not be saying if the shoe was on the other foot. Whether yourself and the Labour Party like it Saurav, we have a free media in this country which does expose stories such as this and the MPs expenses and you should be damn grateful for it if you appreciate democracy and freedom.

As for the point on the secret papers you speak of, i'm pretty sure the media censored the data in that particular case because if national security was breached they would then be partly responsible for the breach however this doesnt make this particular shambolic government free of any blame although you are attempting to insinuate that. What I just cannot work out, how much does it take for this government to do to lose your vote?

[clueless]

would love to see how much coverage it would get if cameron was in a similar situation, not alot from sky thats for sure
completely spun this story out of control

Mr Brown calls Mrs Duffy a bigot for voicing the concerns over immigration which the vast majority of people hold across the United Kingdom and in Rochdale itself (Rochdale, the home of Mrs Duffy, is an area which is being swamped and colonised by immigration/immigrants) yet Mr Brown is the one, along with his government who have opened the floodgates to this country and is the head of a government which continuously ignores the social ills of mass immigration despite it being the biggest social problem we face - who is the real bigot?

Because it certainly isn't Mrs Duffy.

Why go "We worry about national security" and leak everything in that document but names? Free press, sure they shouldn't gon about how much they love national security and care about it, but they leak the whole document.

If Brown had made a nice comment about the woman, it would even get reported. UKIP leader makes comments all day, none get reported. I cant believe its in todays bbc headlines too. Quite pathethic.

[Caution]

Are people so stupid to believe that politicians don't speak about people behind their back? They're only human. The sad thing is, she raised a valid point, and she's certainly not a bigot for wanting control on immigration. It's pathetic.

[kk.]

Its gone a bit out of control. He may have been wrong, but he's entitled to an opinion like everyone else, and sky news was in the wrong for releasing that clip. apparently its against the trust rules news reporters have or something which i can see why. No doubt it will come up in todays debate though, with some snide comment.

Not only that but tories are hypocrites. i got a leaflet through the door the other day saying labour are scaremongering (it was after last weeks debate) and they still didnt mention anything about free eye tests for pensioners lol, and thats what GB brought up (ive only just realised his initials are GB, GB FOR GB ). not only that but like they said, tories have that grave stone saying DEATH TAX. come on, who brings death into a campaign, really.

Free press is a definite good, there's no denying that. It's just a shame that our press lies through their teeth, misinform people, lack any sort of research and blow things out of proportion in quite alot of cases. I remembr reading The Sun or Daily Gazette a few weeks ago, and it said how a man stole from his family and only have to pay back £1, then when you read the article (after you buy it), it says he has to pay back more once he starts earning an income. Stupid article, but it sells, which is what the media want. Money, then truth.

This is, as many have called it a "non-story". You get some dimwitted reporter saying "He called you a bigot (shock factor) ... or something to that description (ignorance/stupidity)." When actually he said "She's a sort of bigotted woman" because what she said was bigotted, she didn't talk about immigration, she targetted eastern europe. It's not Brown's fault if the silly woman can't form a proper claim and comes out like the bigot she appeared yesterday. If she had questioned immigration, which would of been more interesting, then maybe it would actually of got a proper response. What she did was:

Question immigration.
Rant about eastern europe.

She only had to say the first thing, the eastern europeans comment was uncalled for, and that's why she is a bigot - she mentioned it for no reason, probably only to get a ratty response to her half-baked ratty remark. Why mention it? She clearly has some sort of general view on them, a sort of "useless" stereotype based on them scrounging, which is quite racist and bigotted.

It's amazing how responses on this forum differ from forums that all members should, in theory, be able to vote

She seemed typically ignorant like most people from that generation. Who else asks "What about these Eastern Europeans, where are they all flocking from"? lol :rolleyes:
