Brown's Crisis

What are the lessons we should learn about Mr. Brown's encounter with Mrs. Duffy? On the face of it she asked some very reasonable questions without malice and genuine concern. The answers she got also seemed reasonable for a Prime Minister fighting for his life. There were also friendly comments about her life and family. Why did he call her a bigot and then blame his aide "Sue" who has been at his side for years? It would seem to me to reflect badly upon the ruling elite in this country and their attitude to the people they are supposed to represent. The electors are to be wooed then forgotten about. We have had the scandal of the parliamentary expenses and the greed that it has displayed. We have the lack of honesty relating to the state of the country's finances. We also have the deceit about the EU Constitution referendum. We are desperately in need of a radical shake up of government. That is my bigotry!
