Plan B .... Weeping

wymondham

I know Gordon has a valid reason for being upset (terrible family losses etc), but looks like the new 'we are human' tactic from labour is to show emotion on chatshows - even Alister Campbell is doing it now!! ..... do you think this will work in time for May???

Perhaps he genuinely finds it difficult to talk about his daughter death.

It is not going to make any difference.

Then he should tell all journalists that the subject is off topic. The fact that he did not tells you all you need to know about this mans moral compass.

In interviews, they should not mix very private life like this and public roles. I'm not being cold here, but I don't think it's appropriate. It's too easy to blur the boundaries.

I don't think it was the truth per se that upset the people on that thread, more the thoughtless, provocative, insultive and rather childish way you presented your opinion. But you know that already.

If you have ever experienced the personal pain from the death of a child, you would know that it is not something that you would tout for personal gain.

This is lair Brown we are talking about here. He's strip off and waggle his bits at a monkey if he thought it was going to help this re-election.

The man has the morals of Fred West.

He shouldn't be using his daughter's death as a cheap election ploy. Disgusting behaviour. Wonder what his next 'vote winner' will be? :cool:

Whilst I can understand why people don't like Gordon Brown's politics it seems wrong to blame him for attaching emotion to the death of his daugher.
For whatever reason the private life of politicians sits firmly within the public sphere.

I couldn't give a toss about the private lives of politicians. I want to know how they are going to help the wrecked economy, education, elderly people, improve the morality in this country, stop immigration, etc. We all have personal tragedies in our lives. Few of us allow them to impinge to any great degree on our working lives.

In my view, Cameron acted with far more dignity with respect to the death of his child than has Brown, whose behaviour I find despicable. :mad:
