Gordon Brown - a one eyed Scottish idiot.

Is he being called a racist?

It also makes reference to Gordon Brown's visual disability. Is this relevant?

This'll be the same Gordon Brown that (amongst other ridiculous vote grabbing tactics) ... very vocally supported ENGLAND at the last world cup (in a vain attempt to win over the English ... and FAILING ... and in so doing alienated the SCOTS as well )

... I rest my case

a) He has one eye
b) He's Scottish
c) He's an idiot

... we could also have added dour, arrogant ... and many other words to Mr Clarkson's comment ...

I think GB got of lightly !!! :D:D

Clarkson for Prime Minister!

If Clarkson had called someone a one eyed pakistani idiot ,he would have been accused of racism .Double standards here .

Can sombody explain to me what exactly is going on?

I dont know where you come from Landrover ,but as a Scotman who has only one eye i would be insulted by that remark and call it racism ,or is it only Pakistani,Asian or Black people who can complain of racism .What is the difference between his and Carol Thatchers remark.

Here is a racist statement - I am Scottish.
It was news to myself and I suspect others - that Gordon had only one eye working. His disability is not apparent ( lucky him ) unlike the colour of skin. Jesus Christ man I've always loathed racism on the basis of colour. Tell you something though, it feels good to be slightly un pc at times. Lighten up man - fur Christ sake.

There's no need to be going all Senator Joe McCarthy about it though, is there?

I wouldn't have expected that sort of response from you Ionnsaigh, who so stoutly defends minority groups and underdogs.

What you appear to be saying here is that it is wrong to make comments about people based on their ethnic background or physical appearance, disability etc., but when it comes to Gordon Brown, it is OK to link his nationality, and his disability along with the erroneous assertion that he is an idiot, thereby implying that there is some sort of correlation between the three.

Correct me if I am wrong, but that appears to be the message you are giving.
