Bigotgate: Gordon Brown passes the mic back

The good news for Sky News when Gordon Brown drove off with that radio microphone still attached was that they – and the rest of the media – got a hot story. The bad news was it looked like they might not get their mic back, the Labour hierachy presumably having better things to do – like look up "removal men" on Google – than send it back to Isleworth. Not so, it would appear. "The Labour party has returned the radio microphone that exposed Gordon Brown after his encounter with Mrs Duffy," Monkey is told. Apparently Sky is disinfecting the equipment for fear of where Labourites shoved it after being caught out. The very thought.
