Latest Update: Gordon Brown’s “Bigot” Comment Might Change Voters’ Minds

According to information, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is under great pressure after saying Bigot to a woman. While discussing the immigration issue with a woman, Brown said Bigot to her. People present in the event heard what he said. Later on, Brown gave emphasis regarding his concern about the immigration issue and admitted to have used the wrong word. He was trying to manage the situation which he created after his comment. After the incident, many supporters are dismayed to what their leader had said in front of the public. The 88 year old lady who voted to Labour Party over her life said she was so disappointed by the comment of Gordon Brown. The embarrassing mistake he committed can have an effect upon the party’s position and it may even take voters to stay away from them. A rapid increase is reflected in the graph of anti-Labour. It has currently reached to 45% from 15%. Today’s debate is considered as the last chance for Gordon Brown to regain party position. Some experts would say that it is an electoral suicide. It’s the time to justify yourself rather than use comments to people. When Brown came to know about the error he has committed, he started to worry for it wasn’t intentional; however, the damage has been done and all he must to is to justify himself to the public. Brown’s comment might change the voters’ minds and if such happens, then it will put the party in a difficult situation.

Tony Blair "depressed" in aftermath of Iraq War

Tony Blair descended into such a deep depression after the Iraq war that he told Gordon Brown and John Prescott he would quit No 10 the following summer – only to renege on the pledge within months, a new book by the Observer's Andrew Rawnsley reveals. The former prime minister's physical and mental decline was so profound that he confided to friends that he “spaced out” several times during Prime Minister's Questions and often woke up in the middle of the night with sweat trickling down the back of his neck. Rawnsley's explosive account is in The End of the Party, which is published on Monday , extracts from which appear in tomorrow's Observer. It lays bare, for the first time, how Blair was haunted and tormented by the deepening chaos and bloodshed in Iraq at the same time as being worn down by the constant psychological warfare being waged by Brown, his next-door neighbour in Downing Street, who was increasingly desperate to take his job. While Blair's gift for presentation helped him hide his depression from the public and most of his staff, his private turmoil was so severe that he decided there was nothing for it but to hand over to Brown midway through his second term. Rawnsley is the first journalist to detail how Blair, in those darkest days, made clear at a dinner with both Brown and Prescott in November 2003, and later in a telephone call to Prescott in spring 2004, that he would step down. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/feb/27/andrew-rawnsley-tony-blair-iraq added by: jeffissleeping
