    See what you say Really2. But the length of the thread & some of the comments are a bit Jeremy Kyle-ish. Kinda makes us all look bad, when we're not.

    Surely there are more important/relevant issues to talk about?

    Also, Prescott tonked a geezer on the nose, & I'm sure his ratings/popularity went upwards!


    Oh LJ, is it so different from Nick getting it in the neck earlier...IMO, not so very ....yet enough for you to declare all conservatives liars!

    Like any big decision, if a forum is the sole basis of it ...perhaps you just shouldn't...but if using the forum to get to what you actually think....no bad thing

    A fair point. Different in some perspectives, but I see where you are coming from. Kettle is boiling in the background lir, I'm taking your advice!:cool:
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    My issue is more with his mealy mouthed apology where he apologises ''if'' he has done anything wrong.

    Plus the lies he told during that radio show about that interview with that lady. Here is the interview with her
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8649308.stm

    What Gordon tried to say the interview was just about
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8649200.stm
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    His advisor on how to look apologetic seems to have taken the day off, he was smiling in that ghoulish way of his all the way through the "apology" on Sky News.

    What an idiot get him back North of the Border and keep him there.

    Only if it is a real one, not a bloomin healthy one!;)

    FWIW, it highlights to me that at least Brown is human. Humans make mistakes. I know I do, we all do. He made one. Fair play to him for holding his hands up. There are many who wouldn't...
