hitch_1980 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 As to the effect of this on Gordon's chances. People don't change their mind as a result of new information - only reinforcement and rationalisation of existing view takes place...otherwise you experience post cognitive dissonance (which is what the lady clearly felt herself when she was so upset - that the information given to her was so diametrically opposed to her heart felt views of the world and people in it). They will still have lost votes from the inbetween voter, no one knows how many, but it may be significant. I have a question for people..... when brown leaves the position of leader of labour.....either soon or in the future....... what will he do, will he stay in politics, or has being in the position hes got now, damaged him too much?

KTHFB Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 This thread is not about Poles in Britain, it's not about buying flats in Poland. It's also not about car tax. It's about Gordon Brown making a "gaffe" as they call it. If you want to discuss any of the topics I've mentioned above - start another thread.

bagger Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Whether you agree with her or think she's a bigot, isn't really the point, though. If he'd said to her face that he didn't agree with her and that he thought she had a bigoted point of view ... fair enough. It's the smarming and creeping around her to her face and then saying something else entirely behind her back that's so wrong. It's not like he's some unimportant back bencher that can be called to order over his remarks, he's the Prime Minister, he should tell it how he sees it. He's a two faced hypocrite without the courage of his convictions. I don't want someone like that representing our country. Absolutely. Agree with every word.

taxman Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Moron. Fancy leaving his microphone on. Any decent politician knows you take it off before calling the electorate names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So the one eyed idiot who can’t be arsed to spell check his condolences letters is also a nasty piece of work Using someone's disability to attack him is a bit low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellyman Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So anyway, it seems that Gillian Duffy had a genuine point to make. I'm unable to see why anyone is trying to defend Brown by smearing his victim. It's because it is all they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 'being an idiot' classed as a disability nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
