    What utter nonsense. You really never found yourself in a situation where it was better to hold your tongue and let off steam afterwards in private? Such situations are a normal part of life, be it the boss, the mother-in-law, or a potential voter. It's called discretion, we'd all love to tell people what we really think all the time, but a person who does will get nowhere in life. I see nothing wrong with what Brown said to that woman, or what he said later in private - the only problem is that the private bit became public.

    I have, but if he really does think she is a bigot perhaps he should tel her now....

    1st rule if you do such things is don't get caught. The problem is the one him saying the woman should not have been allowed to ask questions and blaming "sue" (I presume a labour official) for putting her forward.

    Can't say I have ever insulted a customer blamed the receptionist for putting the customer through then gone round their for tea and cakes TBH insisting they are not a ~£$% (or what ever I called them).

    It is a mistake, but it proves he is portraying two faces on giving her a hug and then less than 30 seconds later slating her.
    Lots are people are picking up on this now, he has been acussed of it before. Perhaps this is proof of what the guy is really like "behind the scenes".
    Could be pressure who knows, but for sure labour are now well out of it.
  • he's out and his hair is a little ruffled, and i'm sure his flies were undone.....

    On Radio5 they've just said GB is going back to Rochdale to apologise in person (could be cringe-worthy). Hopefully the woman is out. :p

    Maybe if she knows he is coming she will make sure she is out. Especially if he starts pulling that fake smile he has recently started using
