Prime Minister Gordon Brown has denied claims in a new book that he once hit a Downing Street adviser and swore at other members of his staff.
In an interview with Channel 4 News, Mr Brown was asked to respond to reports he was prone to outbursts of rage.
He said sometimes things were said "in the heat of the moment", but added "I have never hit anyone in my life."

I guess he forgot about all those poor buggers in Iraq and Afghanistan he hit with the bombs he ordered to be dropped on their heads along with fellow War Criminal, Tony BLiar. Not to mention the long suffering British tax payer who has been hit with his tax rises to pay for those bombs, bank bailouts, EU corruption, etc.,

it's all PR and spin to try protect his ass from allegations of abuse of staff etc.
I'm not sure if any of it actually alledges that he physically struck anyone, more just used bullying tactics.

"I've never, never hit anybody..."
Double negative. He is telling the truth, he has hit somebody.

Calling him a politician is generous.
Calling him a traitor and a seditious wan*er is more appropriate.

A person who can invade countries and order civilians to be massacred is a psychopath.
Gordon Brownstuff is already a wicked person so i have no doubt in my mind that he will shout and swear and bully his underlings.
Ofcourse he answers to his own masters.

it's a bit of nonsense that knocks mossad forging passports off the headlines, and David Miliband knowing about it beforehand
BBC is hardly mentioning this crucial story any more

Is it possible that people who make the rules then consistently break them? Andrew Rawnsley , author and journalist , has written a book called The End Of The Party and in it gives instances of 'bullying' by PM Gordon Brown. Surely there are notices up in his offices to prevent and / or warn against unacceptable behaviour? What next? Mandy smoking indoors? I agree that this non story hides real news.

This is not an important issue but as always its getting lots of coverage so what are the media not telling us today?

Do not see how anyone can compare this to Childline, when these were adults:rolleyes:
Ann Widdecombe resigns as patron of National Bullying Helpline
http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonli...spx?lang=en-gb
Ann Widdecombe has resigned from her position as patron of the anti-bullying charity caught up in a row over claims made by Downing Street staff about Gordon Brown.
The Conservative MP for Maidstone and Weald became patron of the National Bullying Helpline last year, but is unhappy the charity has breached confidentiality with its disclosure that Downing Street staff used its helpline.
Ms Widdecombe had admitted she was "considering her position" but confirmed on Monday night that she was stepping down.
Ms Widdecombe said: "I regret they went public on it. They may not have named names but they have named the workplace. It is just like a priest taking confession and saying he has talked to a murdered - it immediately starts a hare running.
"Whoever contacts a bullying helpline has to be reassured that their details will be kept confidential. I can see that this was done with the best intention but it is putting people in a very, very difficult position."
~ Read the thoughts of our political editor Paul Francis here >>>
She feared with the details now public, Downing Street was likely to start its own investigations into who may have contacted the charity - something that may turn into a witchhunt.
"Anyone who contacts a helpline such as this or Childline has to be feel that nobody will give their information away."
Ms Widdecombe also revealed she was aware of allegations made about potential conflicts of interest within the charity.
Professor Cary Cooper, an expert on workplace stress, and television presenter Sarah Cawood have also quit the charity.
Prof Cooper said: "One of the things that is really important for any helpline or any counselling service is to retain confidentiality of the people calling up," he said.

I can't see anybody being sad to see that reeking blob of fetid Victorian values resign from anything, I just wish Ann Widdicombe would retire from public life completely.
