Kemp, what we must remember is, it might be Annina's opinion, but it is overtly racist and therefore breaks the law. She is entitled to her opinion, of course, but in this instance it might have been more prudent to keep it to herself, or modify it slightly! I really don't like Mr Brown at all... but that has nothing whatever to do with his race.

I find it very offensive, too. I would really appreciate it if she were to remove it... not the post, just the racist comment.

Hi Kemp,

Annina's "opinion" is however, insulting and offensive.

Robert ....what we must remember is

Our goverment and its ways and choices are TOTALLY down to personal likes and dislikes ........

A little harsh Annina but your opinion

Annina,

I very much regret you said what you did which was completely out
of order and insulting to all of us born North of the Border.

I am afraid I do not like Mr Brown very much at all, but like 007, I find your reference to him in terms of his nationality offensive, too, Annina. Actually, that is also a rascist comment!

Love

I object to that comment Annina, what has Brown's nationality have do do with anything?

Besides Scotland does not have it's independence? Whilst we are talking on the subject, Scotland has had to put up with English rulers for years.......

Also I'm no political expert( far from it) but I wasn't under the impression that we voted for PMs but for a government and we therefore chose which mps we want. It's up to each party to decide on a leader.

Thanks Joy:o)

He was definately out of order.

We all make mistakes. His was to leave the microphone switched on.
Whether or not he thought the lady was bigoted, he should not have said so, in my opinion.

Shame he didn't have the guts to say it to her face though isn't it.?

He said one thing at the leaders debate and publically to Mrs Duffy...

and quite another in private.

Says it all to me x

Who is Gordon Brown?

So he had a little mutter to reassure himself after a confrontation.How normal and human is that?

Tell your grand daughter .....thats a brilliant idea

M y 8 year old gt. grandaughter said yesterday she thinks "they" should put all the names in a box and someone pull one out like in a raffle.

I never thought Gordon Brown had much grey matter holding his ears apart.

hi yes ive caught up now with tonights news. well mr brown you have just put a nail in your own coffin through you own stupidity. when you are in the public eye and have contact and conversation surely to goodness you must think before you speak and even out sight doesnt mean you then say what you think.

everybody is entitled to think what they like about anything or anyone. saying out loud what we think needs careful consideration for fear of offending.

You lot finished moaning on my thread about other threads

Back to the topic

We bring our children up to vote so we teach them whats going on in this election ...but this very comment made by Brown has throw those who are voting for the first time...(my son!)
Yes we know the goverment dont give a *&$(£!"*^ but we still have to have a goverment which WE the people vote for

DONT WE???

Rita , my profoundest public apologies,

I do sincerely apologise for what I have just posted. You are not the Rita I thought you were as I have just checked your number. I was over sensitive to what I thought to be a sustained attack by one person to silence my opinions.

I have removed my posts and will not comment further on this thread.

Sorry.

Come on folks, do you all think that any of the people who want to be elected to our government REALLY care about us??
I have long since realised that they are in it for their own benefits....

There are a few things which they will do for us, to keep us quiet and compliant...... BUT, never think that they are in it for us!

If the mic. is off, all of them will be caught saying something offensive.

What we really have to do is REMEMBER.... and vote accordingly.

Good luck to us all.
