    They laughed at the Wright Brothers, but history proved them wrong.

    Just saying.

    How can you laugh at someone for having an opinion?

    At least he was being honest; something that you can't say too often about our politicians.

    If he was being honest he would have said it on record and directed to the person he called "bigoted". This just tells me his private opinion and his public one are not the same, thus how can we trust him to carry out manifesto commitments - especially when labour have a poor track record of doing this.

    This is the first time during the campaign he has faced the public, and he makes a very avoidable mistake, contributing to a poor campaign on the whole.

    We don't elect PMs... anyone with the most basic of political understanding knows that.

    Do you think he is the only one who makes comments in private about people they have met?

    His comments were pretty mild too, and certainly not worthy of this fuss.

    The party didnt elect him, nobody else stood so he was PM by default. Therefore, hes an unelected PM within the party.

    He showed the utter contempt he has for the electorate.
    Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    Maybe we have, but not when connected to a BBC microphone. :eek:

    "For the electorate"? :confused:
    That woman doesn't represent me or anyone other than herself - unlike Gordon Brown, nobody voted for her.
    He did reveal contempt for her and her attitude – and it's not smart for a politician to do that – but to assume he feels the same way about every voter who crosses his path seems rather odd.

    In his job he should know to be cautious. Didn't he bother to think that the mic could have still been on. He certainly didn't put his brain into gear, the car door was barely shut before he gave his opinion.

    It's the fact that he's apologised that I find funny - how can you sincerely apologise for a private comment expressing your true thoughts?

    Blimey! The BBC are milking this wee tale.

    More than 10 minutes on main 6.00 news. :eek::eek:

    I must admit I felt a very small pang of pity for him when he heard the tape on the Jeremy Vine show. Foot in mouth or what?

    I agree and that's why I'm voting Lib Dem. He seems more honest than the others.
    Mind you , Mr Brown may've been right . She may be bigoted.
    I still think Mr Clegg is more honest.

    I laughed too, he couldn't have said anything better.

    Imagine the hoo har if he'd have gone the other way and said 'I agree with that little ol' lady, too many bloody foreigners round here'.
