Gordon shows his true colours

Gordon Brown boasts of his “moral compass”. He feels people’s pain, he claims.

Yesterday, he was shown up as the hypocritical weirdo he actually is. “You’re a very good woman,” Mr Brown told widow Gillian Duffy before knowing anything about her, “and you have served the community all your life.” He then returned to what he thought was the safety of his car to insult her.

Having realised that he had been caught out calling Mrs Duffy “a bigoted woman”, he returned to form blaming everyone but himself.

It was Sue [Nye]’s fault for introducing Mrs Duffy to him; it was the media’s fault for miking him in the first place but it was not Gordon’s fault – oh no.

To slightly misquote the song, Gordon really is a moron.
