Gordon Brown reveals human side...

Classic stuff. This looks more like the kind of thing that would happen on Yes Minister or The thick of it, than in real life. If you haven't been following the British elections, you probably don't care, but it might be genuinely interesting this time, seeing as the Liberal Democrats, who have been the second party in the country for years, until recent tory resurgence, might be needed to get a majority, which paves the way for a possible reform of the two-party system and the end of almost 30 years of right to center right domination in British politics. Gordon Brown's unending string of mistakes, of which this is just the most recent, are damaging, but mostly make both him and the Tories look bad for some reason. David Cameron is just a bit to eager and falls over these mistakes a bit too soon each time, but he's also just as stiff and useless as Brown is in reality. Not that the Liberal Democrats are a fount of Charisma, but they manage to look human most of the time. A hot summer of elections and coalition negotiations up ahead..
