Home Secretary Alan Johnson stated:

/// 'Bigoted, unreasonably prejudiced and intolerant certainly doesn't apply to Mrs Duffy,' he said. 'Mrs Duffy isn't bigoted, Gordon isn't a monster and the issue of immigration isn't off limits.'///

So everything is okey-dokey then, you load of racists.

It's incredible, if this had happened to a Tory minister, there would have been calls for him to resign, because of his offensive remarks.

In fact he would have been most likely sacked by his leader, or at the very least suspended by his local conservative office,

"Why is Brown getting the blame for the state of the economy"?

Because as Chancellor he relaxed the regulation on the banks that's why.

Gordon Brown is always referring to the global banking collapse as if it was nothing to do with him. The Australian banks didn't have to be bailed out by their Government because their banks are strictly regulated by the Australian Government. All the banks that got into trouble did so because their relative Governments let them.
how exactly do you know he wasn't sorry for upsetting Mrs Duffy, OrcadianOil?
Dodger, it was chiefly Thatcher who deregulated the financial services market, with her Big Bang. The US banks had to plead with the government to be deregulated too, so they could compete. It was the US banks' subsequent actions that caused global meltdown; the likes of Northern Rock added little to it. All Brown was saying was that he should have tightened regulation and didn't and now wishes he had; so do we all. But meltdown wasn't his fault.
// I have absolutely no doubt that Cameron and Clegg have also slagged off some of their supporters away from the prying eyes and ears of cameras and paparazzi. //

so what's the big deal?

This is what big-time politics is really like. Clegg, Cameron, Brown etc they are all only interested in the numbers not individual voters.

Don't we already know this?

Have Armando Ianucci , Bremner, Bird and Fortune been wasting their time on us all these years?

Why is everyone getting worked up just because a microphone has relayed to us what we already knew?
I wonder if there would have been any reaction if Gordon Brown had said---''My word.That was a strong minded lady''. But because he said the same thing using the word 'bigot' we had to have all this rigmarole.
I agree with Davethedog and jno - all a fuss about nothing .
Frankly I was bored to to death , especially yesterday, of all the news coverage on the matter .

It will not influence my decision as to whoom i put my cross against - there are fundamental issues facing this country and the inertia of the party leaders to spell out what the level and extent of cuts will be under their stewardship ( in order that the electorate - or most of the electorate - can make an informed choice ) is frankly appaling .

If people are going to let this incident decide who they vote for , then they dont deserve the vote
