ooops

Yesterday, Mr Gordon Brown the British Prime Minister was visiting Rochdale and was meeting normal people in the street when this woman came up to chat with him. They were talking about many things and included the spiky subject of immigration. She told him what she thought and he was very pleasant to her and they parted on amicable terms. He got into the back seat of his car and they drove off. He forgot he still had a radio mic attached. He started to say nasty things about the woman to his aid, which included saying that she was a bigot. The problem was that everyone on TV and radio heard him. OMG what a thing to say. His next appointment was on a radio show and they showed his reaction when he was played back the broadcast. He sat with his head in his hands. I thought he was going to cry. He had to make a quick recovery and started to blame his aid and the the TV company for mic-ing him up. He issued an apology to the woman by telephone then he turned up at the womans door to apologise in person to her. He was in her home for 40 minutes. Can you imagine a Prime Minister doing this. The reason for it was is this. This faux pas on behalf of Mr. Brown could very well be the one thing which brings him down and loses the General Election for him and for Labour.
He gave the excuse that he didnt understand what the woman was saying and that his words were a mistake etc. But the facts are he said them. He was two faced. Mr nice guy in front of the TV cameras but when he thought he was in private he turned nasty. He didnt have the guts to say these things to the woman personally. He said the words were a mistake. How could they be a mistake. They were his thoughts and he spoke them out loud. He meant what he said and only tried to cover his tracks when he found out he had been caught and realised the serious problem he had created. Do you think he would have retracted his words if he hadnt been heard by the world. No, I dont think so. He has made a serious cock-up and it will take a lot of fancy footwork to get people to forgive him.
