I think your absolutely right, most people don't care what he said.

It's how he said it, two faced and cowardly in the back of his car thinking he was all safely out of earshot from anyone where he could say what he actually thought. That's what the fuss is about.

I liked the bit where he put his head in his hands the best.

But when he said it is probably the time at which most other people would have said it if they were going to.

the point is, the woman asked a valid question, and like labour have done for years, they smiled in public and in private smeared her as a racist bigot.

that said, what sort of question is "where are all these eastern europeans coming from?" eastern europe seems a good guess.

like the thin lizzy song "jailbreak" - "there is gonna be a jail break somewhere in this city tonight" - hmmm, let me guess where - the jail????

I think Cameron and Clegg need to be careful on the bigot woman episode.

They've already got their cheap shots in via press releases today and I think some things have their own motion, like this bigot woman issue, which doesn't need any further propulsion from the party leaders.

Tonight is about the economy, so would rather they keep on topic and I'm sure there will be enough blood shed on that topic alone.

it seems that's all you need to become a prime Minister in this election is to be a good actor...

Spot on. Unfortunately that's what politics has come down to these days.

I have worked out that you need to be one of 3 kinds of people to vote labour - please let us know which you are:

(a) public sector worker
(b) benefit scrounger
(c) mental

Wibble.:rotfl:

Were you around during the Thatcher years when she destroyed our industry and brought great swathes of the nation to their knees?

Were you around when John Major brought us 15% interest rates?

We have been in a world recession brought about by a banking collapse. Sure, politicians should have reined the bankers in long ago, but let's not forget that the greed in the City began under Thatcher and many of these bankers will be Cameron's pals.

By the way, I find it amazingly ironic how you are incensed at Gordon Brown calling a woman a bigot because she made comments he disagreed with yet you make crass remarks about people who dare to vote for a different party to you. I disagree with your views but you are perfectly entitled to vote Conservative as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, I'm in group A by the way, and in 29 years working in Higher Education I have never been "paid more than the wealth creators" as you suggested we all are yesterday.

Nevertheless, it matters very little who actually wins - do you honesty think the Torys will be any different? All the policies are the same anyway.

Urban Myth :eek:

On 16th September 1992 the Base Rate was 12%....a rise to 15% was announced in the afternoon to take effect the following day.

Later that same evening Shuffly Shoes Lamont announced the 'surrender' and cancelled the rise to 15%.

On 17th September 1992 the Base Rate was dropped to 10%

How an interest rate rise that never actually happened, that in reality became cut to 10% can be described as 15% Base Rate under John Major's Government is risable.

you forgot to mention that every other industrial nation had interest rates at 10%+ at the same time as a response to wider economic conditions. it wasn't a dastardly tory plot to wreak devastation on the country...keep believing the myth.

greed is a trait which has been with humanity from the beginning, and I daresay will be with us to the end.

reed in the City has surely been ever present..isn't that...sort of the point of the City?

don't forget the greed of the trade unions which thatcher busted, although they've had a renaissance under labour with the absurd public pay packages.

one form of greed replaced another.

what about saviour nick? after all he's the son of a wealthy banker and has an identical background to Cameron...

blair must have a few pals in banking given he works for one now. i dare say gordon does too.

all the parties will be receptive to big business/big banks. that's just the way things are. another that thinks that one of the main parties is an exception is kidding themselves.
