The fraud that was Gordon Brown’s visit

It seems that Nick Robinson has also rumbled the fraud that was Gordon Brown’s visit to Ipswich, show casing the sort of tough questions that our Prime Minister is trusted with:

Q1: Can you tell us what you would most like to celebrate?
Q2: Why has Labour not said more about its achievements?
Q3: What can be done to build community relations?
Q4: What would you do to help people with disabilities?

My favourite of all, though, was: “Will you come back to Ipswich when you win the general election?”

Michael Crick also did not think much of the questions openly laughing at them and at one point coming out with the sarcastic comment “Oh yes, that was a tough one.”

In Ipswich members of the public (OK, Tory activists) had to lie about being Labour activists to get in to Gordon’s meet the people farce.

I thought Ipswich was one of the wealthier Labour parties, couldn’t they have given a generous donation to the national party so that the mad Scotsman wouldn’t come by?
