Harriet Harman, Labour deputy leader finally apologised after she branded  Danny Alexander, Treasury Minister, a ‘ginger rodent’. Apparently she was forced to apologise after a direct order from Labour party leader Ed Miliband and she withdraw the rodent slur.

But what about withdrawing the ginger slur, because that to me is worse, it is actually racist. If she had called Obama for example a “black rodent” or even worse, “ni***r rodent” where would that have led her.

I suppose I have a vested interest in all this because I have red hair and at school I was teased and set upon for my “colouring” probably more than some of the black kids. It has been much the same all my life and out of all the names I have been called “ginger” has been the worst. We are the butt of all jokes and if there is a serial killer or any evil psycho in films or tv, they are usually portrayed as having red hair and freckles.

“Rhodent” to me is ok “Ginger” is slang racist, so I think Harriet Harman had better watch her back saying this in Scotland where there are a lot of us “redheads”.

I just wondered why no one has said it but David Miliband has been so childish and such a bad looser in the fight for the Labour leadership. I hope he has nothing more to do with politics with that kind of attitude. With brothers there is always one that rules the roost, I think we know which one that was. Ed Miliband only won by 1% which was such a shock to David, you could see it on his face. David has probably never lost anything before to Ed, and I bet he didn’t even let Ed use his trainset when they were younger. I shall be voting Labour in the next election, thank you Ed for helping to bring much needed change the Labour party.
