I think some were at worst fleetingly annoyed Foxhead Send a noteboard - 28/07/2012 08:12:29 AM
But as mentioned, most of us don't know who he is. On first hearing it, I had a "what a knob" moment, which was all my feelings on the matter amounted to.

It was just a rude, stupid thing to say, I liked nossy's analogy about being invited to someone's party and complaining about the shrimp.

I actually felt quite embarrassed for the guy and the people he was representing and you have to understand British people won't see a Republican candidate, they'll just see an American.

I think you have to be careful, because you can't see it the way they do. nossy - 27/07/2012 05:23:22 PM 497 Views

It's more likely the press making a big deal out of nothing. Rebekah - 27/07/2012 05:35:20 PM 456 Views
