The other thing about this story is that this can only enhance Clegg's rating. The Tory papers were gunning for him, and with the heat off just before the last TV debate, he couldn't be happier.

Oh I dunno, this election has seen the press in all its forms being about a day slower than social networking etc. Everyone has underestimated the power of instant media.
In other words the press barons are somewhat powerless...24 hour rolling news on the other hand.
Incidentally Jose Mourinho; twat or genius?

Wasn't that true about Labour & Murdoch until about a year ago?
Would be a bit hypocritical to aim it solely at the Tories.

I was listening to the excellent Jeremy Vine show live when it happened this afternoon. JV was grilling Brown on several key issues, and as you would expect, Brown wouldn't give a direct answer. He then questioned him about his comment to Mrs Duffy, he said he wasn't aware of using that word - JV then said "well we have the recording right here", and played it to him, and the nation - live. I pissed myself laughing. What a f***-up.

Good Evening West 'am!
I listened to Break Up The Family this morning - the first line made me laugh.

All true, it's just that right now Murdoch wants the Tories in. Having said that, I see in the current issue of Private Eye, Murdoch Snr is still yet to be convinced by Cameron, and his son, who stormed into the Independent's office to have a go at Martin Kelner, is the main driving force behind wanting a change, so it should probably have been him holding the puppet strings.

Because he still wants to win. GB might as well got his wang out and slapped it across Mrs Duffy's face should he not apologies and said he felt terrible that he forgot he was wearing a microphone. That's what the people want these days.

What a surprise that The Scum has paid the stupid old dear 50k for her story.
I don't think it'll make any difference whatsoever to the voting outcome. Labour supporters will defend him, labour opposition will deride him.
What sickened me most was the way the journalists were so obviously digging for a story from Duffy, the way they were going on at her you'd think they wanted to her to say "yes, I felt suicidal".
And as for Jose...
he's a f***ing genius. That trenchcoat of his...yum.
A wang slapped across their face?No, you mean a transparent lie that no one will believe but that is more comfortable than someone speaking the truth.
Exactement. And he doesn't want her to vote for the BNP. So he's willing to lie to her initially, then stupidly forget his microphone is on, and then PRETEND he didn't mean what he said, and offer her an apology. The whole thing illustrates that he seems to be less than completely capable, and scrambling to cover his mistakes with lies.
As far as I'm concerned, except Emotional Guide Dog who is a Conservative Party supporter, most of UK users don't want Cameron to be a new prime minister.

I don't want David Cameron to be new prime minister & I'm voting Lib Dem.
I want the current incarnation of the Labour party to fall into the sea & die. I

......This is all too reminiscent of the "JuliaGate" scandal for me to handle...
Latest news I heard this morning, is that the "Mail on Sunday" has isolated Mrs. Duffy somewhere, away from any Media contact,paid her £80,000, and will publish her version of what Gordon said to her at their private meeting in sundays edition......
The "Mail" actually PAYING a Bigot for a story???? Now....There's a Turn up....

would that help in a hung Parliament?
According to the Independent she refused to sell her story to the sun. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...tune-played-by-lsquothe-sunrsquo-1958667.html
Apparently she "turned down the chance to make a small fortune from selling her story to The Sun because the newspaper wanted her to say things she did not believe."
