Gordon Brown - Piers Morgan Interview

What did people think of Gordon's interview last night? I was really impressed with how open he was being and I felt for him as he's had quite a tough life; he has shown himself to be a fighter.

Is it too late though? Personally, I am not really a Labour supporter, but I think if he's more open like that interview, his popularity will increase.

    I was really impressed as to how he can break his own promises about his own family.

    I was also very impressed as to how he can not only break the pledge never to bring his family into the political arena as it does not belong there, but then also agree to the question to be asked, probably edit it before it goes out to the nation, and still think it's a good idea.

    I'm also impressed as to how stupid the nation are. It's about the only thing he's got right in the last few months ;)

    Well the OP asked what people thought of the programme, so if you didn't watch it you can't really comment on it :confused:;)

    I didn't watch it, ergo I can't comment on it.

  • I thought he came across (it was cut) very well.

    Rather him than the Tory.

    But I will not be voting for either....

    To find out their views, opinions and performance on the programme generally? I hate Nick Griffin but I would happily watch an interview with him to hear his points of view.

    i was just going to say that - he dealt with it all quite well and seemed quite open and honest.

    i couldn't see David coming across well on a interview like that.
