Gordon’s Daily Gaffe
Another day and anther Prime Mentalist muddle. In a Radio One interview recorded earlier and set to be broadcast shortly at 12.45 Gordon said while discussing immigration and under-estimating numbers from EU ‘We didn’t get it wrong…there was no misjudgment‘. Moments later he goes on to admit “there has been a problem“.

I'd say very badly. Evasive, didn't answer the questions properly, backpedalling, stuttering, you could almost hear him sweating.
They grilled him on expenses, economy, jobs, afghanistan, schooling and not once did he give a convincing answer, lots of "well we'll have to look at that", "we have put measures in place" etc.
At one point he was banging on about 'honesty' and 'transparency', FFS the man is a serial LIAR!

half of the time he sounded like a pig caught scoffing at a trough They grilled him on expenses, economy, jobs, afghanistan, schooling and not once did he give a convincing answer, lots of "well we'll have to look at that", "we have put measures in place" etc.

he is a real embarrassment to the country tbh

Badly? Gaffe? I thought this was a conscious decision they've been making - deny any criticism whatsoever about anything and at the same time show they understand the issues and promise they'll fix them regardless of whether they have any intention of even trying to or any inconsistencies in their message?Guido said:

Seems to have worked for 13 years so far.

It seems that mere children are better at asking probing questions than Browns chums at the Beeb....... Got himself a tad tongue twisted when asked about his cleaner expenses...
He's too used to being given an easy ride by the media, when put on the spot by people with no vested interest he falls apart. The number of times he contradicted himself and made weak excuses was, as previously mentioned, cringeworthy.He was piss poor and he knew it.
He was rattled and at the end of the interview, Tulip Masumda (not the sharpest tool in the BBC box) asked him how much sleep he was getting, he got very short and said that the bigger issue was not how much sleep he is getting, but the state of the country.
Indeed Gordon, indeed.

I only heard a clip where he said "I have to live in Scotland and in London and work aswell, so I paid my cleaner too much".
How about having one house like normal people? That REALLY annoys me that MP's think they're somehow entitled to have more than one house. Normal people just move nearer to their place of work, not buy another house with taxpayers money.

Can anyone find the iplayer link to this? I have tried and cannot see any obvious signs of it, sure it must be somewhere but they have not exactly made it obvious!
Today also the Jeremy Vine show was a farce. Not one good comment was made about the Conservatives or Cameron. In fact they scarily made a mass promotion of the Lib Dems in (my cynical mind??) to take away Conservative votes.
Yes i know listening to it was bad for my blood pressure and that i should really know better, all i want from the Beeb is Impartiality.
Grr.

The kids themselves haven't been indoctrinated for the last ten years. People aren't generally behaving in a normal way. Naturally, everything would be fine. People have all been twisted up for so long now, they can't think straight.
t to deal with thats not entirely of his doing but not a briliant public figure. See Winky on the rack

It's concerning when a group of kids and young people can give Winky more of a grilling than the people whose job it is to do so.Cleaners
