she was stupid anyway and he only called her bigoted

@bommmmmmmm How exactly was she bigoted? Criticising open-door immigration is not bigoted, and I am the product of English and Chinese immigrants to Australia.

What fools like you do is criticise any rational discussion on immigration, and thereby elevate extremist parties like the BNP. If Labour or the Torries addressed immigration, people wouldn't turn to parties like the BNP that hijack the issue. A majority of the British public feel this way, time for the politicians to acknowledge it.

She's not a bigot. The MAJORITY of people in Britain wanted Labour to address the numbers which flooded into Britain in Labour's 13 years (inc criminals and terrorists) with their 'open door' policy. This is precisely why Labour were booted out of power. He was an idiot and incompetent. There was a black man on QT asking Jack Straw ' but when are you actually going to do something about it'. Is he a bigot ? Grow up. PC is a form of fascism

@Artprincess247 "man" i meant

[Artprincess247]

Even if the woman was acting a bit of a "Bigot" its still not a very good idea to get caught calling your supporters that since it'll make the public wonder whether he's a good man to trust or not. Even before he called the woman a bigot, i could tell this name was "Vile".

@HeCameHeSawGROID actually bigot means somebody who is intolerant to differing viewpoints, considering your comment you yourself seem like a bit of a bigot and a hypocrite on top of it. You can't criticize name calling, and then in the very next sentence call an entire group of people "a bunch of assholes". Plus by your own definition of bigot both anti and pro immigration supporters could be bigots, which makes you stupid as well. You're a stupid bigoted hypocrite.

She wasn't bigoted - just an attention seeker.

[HeCameHeSawGROID]

"Bigot"? Bigot means stuck to one opinion. It is absurd to call someone who makes and anti immigration comment a bigot, it just makes no sense. Pro immigration people can be bigoted. This is the lefts style of discussion - name calling. What a bunch of assholes. Why shouldn't someone complain about their country being invaded, then the PM calls them names? WTF happened to this country?

She represents the typical "Labour for Life " dum dum,Thick, ignorant dotty idiot. Concerned about immigration and still voted for the Labour "Commie" Party who deliberately instigated an "Open door" Immigration policy. Labour hoped their own voters were too thick or indifferent to realize what they were doing . Commie Traitors the lot of them and good riddance to the "One-eyed Scottish Idiot", a "fucking disaster " of a PM.
