I thought it was a comment on R Desmond……….
So the election is still on then? ‘Looking forward’ to their polling day front page ‘Express Opinion’ next Thursday. Should raise a chuckle!
So accidentally insulting a voter is bad enough, and then apologising to her is sickening? Why not just print “WE REFUSE TO BE SATISFIED WITH ANYTHING”?
GB’s apology was “sickening” was it?
I saw a guy in the midst of an election campiagn drop everything to go and make a private personal apology.
You might not like the guy but to damn that as “sickening”, given its context, is just playing schoolyard games with your ludicrous party-political bias.
By the massive overreaction the papers and sky news has given this, you’d think he had punched her in the face, burnt down her house and killed her cat.
To be fair, if I was in her position (a pensioner) I’d probably be milking this for all the £££ I could get out of TV shows and newspapers stupid enough to pay me.
If she’s a life-long Labour supporter as she claims, but is now prepared to sell her story to the right-wing press – effectively promoting their anti-Labour agenda – just because the Labour leader upset her, this would suggest her principals were,’t that sound in the first place and that she is indeed a bigot.
apparently the sun offered her £90K for her story but she refused because they wanted her to back the tories and she wasnt keen on them either, so her principles might not be that weak after all.
Thanks hel
Glad to hear it. There are so many people seem to abandon any pretence at principal as soon as the popular/gutter press wave money at them.
I of course am not one of them! (unless the Mail would like to hear about… ;-|)
Ah the Daily Express, good to keep things in context.
Still at least the readers won’t have fat brains after today…!

Took the words right out of my mouth Paul
Sorry, Phil

The Express can say this without any irony, because they have never ever insulted anyone at all.

Apologising is always a dangerous game in politics. Perhaps he should have just socked her one. Worked for Prescott!

I’d agree with that headline, indeed I believe Mrs Duffy is a hypocrite that shamed Britain….
Oh wait
“sickening apology”? would the express rather he didnt apologise at all? silly paper.
blood hell, what do they have planned for tomorrow?
“now brown refusess ‘moon on a stick’ request!”
Seems she has already got a PR form working for her and money for interviews. Seems like an ambush, I smell a rat.
