Don't forget Brown abuse

4:06pm Monday 29th October 2012 in Letters

JUST in case the members of the opposition are feeling smug about the political demise of Andrew Mitchell MP, they might cast their minds back two years when the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown called an elderly lady in Rochdale a bigot. He chose not to stand down - the British voters did it for him.

Brown's gaff was a graphic illustration of the contempt politicians hold for, the people who elect and pay them. I was at the original lobby outside city hall, of Langstone residents opposed to the siting of traveller sites in their village. A (Labour) councillor referred to us as racists as he walked past, despite not a single mention of any minority on any poster. Our protest was opposed to all greenfield development. They'll all be shoving flyers through our letter boxes soon enough, telling us how much they care about us.

On the inside spouts the politics of envy the sheeple never learn they cannot be educated.
The one eyed blindness to anything that's not Labour is tragic we can never advance unless we learn

Envy is a socialist religion. But Labour politicians in Wales can get to a highly paid job without the inconvenience of having to convince their electorate of their intellect. A red rosette is all that's required.

There isn't any reason why an elderly lady in Rochdale shouldn't be a bigot, is there?

Except that his reason for calling her a bigot was her complaining to Brown that Polish families, who had never contributed in the UK, were seemingly jumping the council housing queue in Rochdale. If you have an opinion on anything these days you're called a bigot.

She never said that, watch the meeting between Gillian Duffy and Brown here:

Quite right and he took the Labour Government with him, and hopefully Andrew Mitchell will lose his seat and take this disaster of a Tory Government with him.
