Added to all of that, are there really veterans of world war two, who truly believe that they fought for nothing, fighting fascism?

While apparently siding with fascists, if they approve of the BNP...

Anyhow, most Veterans (of any war, not just WWII) would not only be proud enough to wear their medals correctly, but would be offended at the mere thought of not wearing them correctly.

So Brown's apologised and says it was all a terrible mistake - he misunderstood her apparently...

I wonder what it was that he learned in his car and afterwards that persuaded him that he'd got her wrong??... I reckon it was was the feeling of all those votes he'd just lost in an instant and that his 'apology' has far more to do with damage lmitation than anything else!....

It's her prerogative of course but it appears that Mrs Duffy will not be speaking to the press about Brown's 'apology'. Why not if she's accepted it as being sincerely offered? Has she accepted it or has she rejected it but agreed not to comment to avoid causing further embarrassment to the party she's apparently been a lifelong supporter of?. I think the truth will come out sooner or later.

I wonder how much that cost?

I guess that some may be so old/frail that they might not realise. My Dad's certainly in that category.

Both from various B3ta users, although I can't provide a link 'cause too much of that site is not safe for linking..

The 4 horsemen of the politalypse (from user Damocles)


And "Nick Cleggo" (from the user andysine)

That Lib Dem one is actually pretty fun and positive.

From the Idiot in charge of the Tories.

Cameron has clearly revealed the Tory reason for keeping and replacing Britain's nuclear weapons system. During the first leaders' election debate the other week, David Cameron stated that 'we can't be certain of the future in China', when explaining why he thought Britain should retain nukes.

China has a relatively small nuclear arsenal, and its policies over the last decades indicate that it does not wish to get embroiled in a nuclear arms race and divert its economy from rapid development into a dead end project, the like of which bankrupted the Soviet Union. Doubtless that is why China voted in the UN General Assembly a few years ago to back immediate negotiations on a Nuclear Weapons Convention to ban all nuclear weapons.

China are the only thing propping up our economy at the moment, their investment in government bonds are the only thing preventing us going the way of Greece. Which makes Camerons jibe about nuking them all the more puzzling. I'm sure Beijing loved that.

Some truth from Gordo at last...

It was far from funny - granted he made the comments in private (or so he thought) those comments got back to the woman in question and she was left very upset by it and she was an hard Labour supporter. If that's what Gordon 'numpty' Brown really thinks of his own party supporters/voters, who bring up legit questions and concerns during an election campaign visit - he deserves no votes at all.

Has it taken you nearly two weeks to work all that out?

It does all depend on what she said ,for all we know GB may be perfectly correct in calling her a bigot
still he should have been more guarded when voicing his personal opinons of a person

There's always one

Gordon Brown 'mortified' by his 'bigoted woman' slur

Of course he is. Now the whole world knows what many of us have long suspected ... that Gordon is utterly contemptuous of all the little people who just happen to disagree with his Five Year Tractor Plan for Great Britain.

He's a muppet and a disgrace to his office. Thank goodness he'll be vacating it in a little over a week from now.
