Just watched the clip on BBC. What amazingly poor timing for such a mistake!

The bloke's a walking PR disaster. Yes, I appreciate it may be vaguely be refreshing  to have someone so 'unpolished' on the camera but he really is a complete plank.

I would think that making sure you are not wearing a mic when moaning about your constituency would be the first to spring to mind...

He's actually gone up in my estimations from zero to utterly dreadful. That woman was a complete racist cow and deserved a punch in the gob. Still a glorious PR disaster. Penfold you should give him a business card or something

Bloody good Chancellor though. Further evidence of the Peter Principle.

What did she say that makes her racist? (I may of missed? :g:)

[T-Bag]

He went up in my opinions for saying it, down in them for apologising. She was moaning about Eastern Europeans, these are people who come in, work (they legally have to be paid at least minimum wage, which is supposed to be enough for a typical British person to live on), they live here have the same expenditure and pay taxes. I don't have a problem with that.
If she was moaning about the messed up benefits system making it more worthwhile for people not to work and using foreigners as an excuse, or a specific problem that is only due to Eastern Europeans that isn't Xenophobic that's a different matter.

As a chancellor he was bad. We were rated one of the worst prepared countries in Europe financially going into this recession, pretty bad money handling. And now we're in more debt in peace time than we've ever been...also not very good.

(As for what she said, nobody has quoted it fully as far as I can tell -apparently that's not news- but she complained about the number of Eastern European immigrants etc, which if you read the Daily Mail is a serious problem and needs to be stopped, but if you know maths then you can see it's fine and the real problem is the benefits system)
