He can't seem to stop digging the hole he's in, deeper.
Gordon Brown has insisted he branded a pensioner a "bigot" because he thought she had called for all foreign students to be kicked out of Britain.
It seems he's now resorting to the "Lets smeer the other side", tactics.
Remember the bullygate affair?
I'm sure we all remember the scandals concerning postal votes at the last general election. Well it looks like it hasn't gone away.
POLICE are examining a series of claims of serious electoral fraud across London.
That's good then.
Well no.
Scotland Yard confirmed it is examining a number of complaints from residents and political groups in the borough. On a wider scale, police are looking at claims of electoral fraud in 12 boroughs but have yet to launch any criminal inquiries.
I suspect they'll get round to it in time for the 2015 election.

Do you remember the case of Joan Higgins who was convicted for selling a goldfish to an underage youth during a council sting operation?
Where her conviction resulted in a ten week curfew complete with electronic tag?
Well the good news is that Judge Adrian Smith decided that was an inappropriate sentence and has given her a conditional discharge.
Full story
here.Jen McCreight (The Blag Hag), carries out an experiment to ascertain whether "Boobs" can trigger earthquakes.
What turned into a viral media extravaganza began as a humorous science experiment. On Monday 19 April, I had just read Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi's assertion that "Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes." Amused and annoyed by his ludicrous statement, I suggested on my blog that women dress immodestly on 26 April to test his claims. Tongue-in-cheek, I dubbed the project "Boobquake".

Was global warming affected at all? You can never be too careful.
Surely not? I was going to headline this post as Bangladeshgate but it's too much of a mouthful for anyone to pronounce.
it would appear that for all the much hyped part of the IPCC, on rising sea levels which would swamp Bangladesh are not quite correct.
Now comes a study from the Dhaka-based Center for Environment and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS) that says the IPCC forgot to factor in the 1 billion tons of sediment carried by Himalayan rivers such as the Ganges and the Brahmaputra into Bangladesh every year.
CEGIS director Maminul Haque Sarker told AFP that "studies on the effects of climate change in Bangladesh, including those quoted by the IPCC, did not consider the role of sediment in the growth and adjustment process of the country's coast and rivers to the sea level rise." Even if sea levels rose according to IPCC predictions, Sarker says, natural sediment deposits would cancel the effect of any rise.
And
Apocalyptic changes forecast by climate change alarmists, according to Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Morner, former head of the International Commission on Sea Level Change, are not in the cards. Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years."
If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10 cm (four inches), with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10 cm."
He also states that in Tuvalu which was supposed to be inundated in a few years, the sea level has actually fallen.
They really should give up with this global warming shite before it's too late.
Then again there is the money.............

I had to laugh when I read this.
WTF!
Must be April 1st over again I thought. But no.
A firm of bookmakers today opened the world's first sponsored confessional box in a church.
Paddy Power has paid £10,000 to have its name on the box — now called a sin bin — in Our Lady and St Etheldreda Catholic church in Newmarket, Suffolk.
Jockey Frankie Dettori, who was married in the church, performed the opening ceremony.
The deal was arranged after the priest contacted the bookmakers. The firm's communications director, Paddy Power, said: “We hope people might pop in on their way to a race meeting here. Perhaps their prayers will help them pick a winner.”
At least they could have told me before I went to the races last saturday.
