It's like arguing with someone and saying "Well sir, I don't agree and I think your opinion is ludicrous" then going back and saying "Oh god, I'm so sorry for using such strong language".

Well, it's getting pretty close to the election now and much of the media are using any opportunity they can to put Brown down. A lot of people agree with her views too (which is depressing enough) so he essentially called half the population 'bigoted'. But yes, I agree, it's a massive overreaction.

I wish he hadn't apologised though. He should take on his 'step outside posh boy' persona and start using that. He'd win my vote.

Was that an official poster?

On the election note, anyone else fed up with David Cameron sending you pointless crap in the post? Are we getting to the point where the party with the biggest budget gets the most votes?

Anyway, I'll be out of the country when the election is on, so I intend to wipe my ass with my poll card and mail that to Cameron.

Maybe cause Obama would not say it, seeing as he is a more professional wordsmith.

Some of those were actually pretty funny. :lol:
I've only had stuff from Conservatives and one thing from Labour today. I've seen some people sticking 'Vote UKIP' on their windows recently too. Load of bollocks the lot of it..

This was just hilarious! when has something like this happened before? Its just one things that can only happen to Gordon isnt it, that guy has such bad luck...but hey he deserves it.

And yeah I think calling someone who is a long time voter for your party a bigot is a big deal, as if a politician called me a bigot or a racsist or fascist Id be pretty upset too lol.

But that whole cheesy grin after the apology... he cant come back from this one, I bet that other slimey weasel Cameron must have been laughing his arse off.

Heres to hoping neither of them get in!
