The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has apologised to a woman voter after he was caught on microphone describing her as "bigoted" during campaigning for the general election. The incident began when the woman Jillian Duffy told him of her concern about the number of eastern European migrants flocking into Britain, as she put it. As he got into his car, he was still wearing a broadcast microphone and was heard to say "that was a disaster". Mr Brown later went to Mrs Duffy's house in Rochdale to apologise and sent an e-mail to Labour activists to say he profoundly regretted his comments.
