    that's two posts justifying that they wouldn't care less... yo udon't need to convince me :)

    you're internet image must be very important to you

    Couldn't care less about internet image either!

    My son was born yesterday. Nothing matters. I'm in work, and absolutely dying to get out and back to him. Time's dragging. So you are doing me a huge favour here entertaining me! ;)
  • The man is finished after this. He basically called 90% of the electorate (the other 10% being the trendy liberal elite) racist cu*ts. Nice.

    This is true labour. They have altered Britain beyond repair and dismiss you as a racist, homophobic xenophobe if you DARE question it.

    They are scum and lower than a snakes belly.

    What I really don't like is that calling a voter a 'bigot' is a general statement, lumping all voters together and in doing so blames an entire group of people.

    He called one voter a bigot because of what she said.

    Last voted in 1997......Hmmm, it was YOU that got Blair into power then!:D;)

    I only voted in 1997. I voted lib dem. Didn't trust the slimy b****r blair then, don't trust weasel Cameron now. I think Tory supporters are going to be disappointed to find out Wiley the Weasel isn't going to live up to the hype.

    Don't trust anyone who goes on about 'efficiency savings'... they are not really possible. What they mean is spending less money on the services you use.

    yeah, but the point is, what she said was not bigoted!

    if i come back to my house and my wife has a couple of people there for tea, I would think nothing of it. If she had 50 people in there, I may ask "what are all these people doing in my house?"

    its the same thing on a national scale. if too much happens, people are entitled to ask questions. it doesn't make them a bigot. the definition of bigot is:

    "One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ."

    sounds more like labour lunatics to me. They are the true bigots.

    My post was in response to Wooksters and so cannot be taken out of isolation. Re-read Wooksters and my post together.

    What she said was not bigoted, unless you consider questions on the economy, crime, education and pension credits to be bigotted in some way.

    Brown clearly considers anyone with such 'bigoted' views (ie, life long labour supporters with concerns over the economy, education and immigration) as below contempt and so I suggest if anyone holds such similar views on the economy, education and immigration, best not vote Labour as Brown hates "your" kind.

    Brown has also stated in his apology that he 'mis-understood' her comments so validating the fact she was not a bigot after all and that he just got hold of the wrong end of the stick. An easy mistake for sure, especially when you are pre-programmed to play the race card at the mere mention of immigrants.
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.

    this is exactly my view and how i voted in 1997.

    if people are moaning about Brown now they will be moaning much more under Cameron
