    I hope that nobody who agrees with this woman's views on "Eastern Europeans" thinks that the White Horse's mate Dave will do anything about it. Dave sent me a letter today in which he said he will set a limit on "Non-EU economic migrants", so he will do nothing to stop the people who this woman doesn't want here.


    but neither can Dave stop us all beetling off to EU destinations to live and work.

    Erratum: for 'bigoted' read 'someone with whose opinions I disagree' throughout.

    They had a conversation in the street, shook hands amicably,Brown thanked her,she said she would continue to vote Labour,they said goodbye,Brown gets into his car and completely and utterly loses it,calling her a "bigoted woman".

    You can`t witness anything more two-faced than that.

    Bigoted

    Blindly and obstinately attached to some creed or opinion and intolerant toward others

    Sounds like Brown to me.

    I wonder if Brown has any views on...for example..Peter Mandelsohn, which he has so far kept to himself?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Well, Brown and the PC brigade as a whole. When they come up against an uncomfortable opinion, rather than confront it factually with reasoned argument, they try to close down debate by making the subject taboo.

    so what did you expect him to do if he disagreed with her? Punch her in the face?This is just a side show for the media.The folk at SKY news and their grupenfuhrer Murdoch must be dancing in the streets at what is essentially a non story.All that has happened is a minor PR gaffe and the press is reporting it like Brown nicked her handbag and took a dump in it.Unbelievable!
