Brown has really put his foot in it today, well actually his tongue in it to be precise. Gordon was recorded calling a member of the public a 'bigoted woman' after she challenged him on issue regarding immigration and crime.
I like many others, was starting to think that the only events of this election campaign were the three big debates, but Brown has proved this wrong.
As part of the change of gear in Labour's election campaign, Brown has been meeting with real people as opposed to selected Labour faithful. But real people can cause problems, they will ask tough questions and defiantly won't give you an easy ride. Brown managed to handle the questions, but should have held his tongue before making personal comments after. Especially when you still have a radio mic attached to you.
This slip up by Brown could well have damaged his already shaky reputation along with what ever slim chances Labour had come election day. With just 8 days to go before polling day the party must be reeling.
One interesting point to mention is that Brown was caught on mic by none other then 'tory blue' Murdoc owned sky news. Probably just a coincidence but interesting none the less.
