Out of total coincidence I have something to go with out last story!

A Tory councillor has been arrested over claims he suggested on Twitter that Yasmin Alibai-Brown, a female newspaper columnist, should be stoned to death.

From The Telegraph – who offers a screenshot of his tweet, begging for someone to stone the journalist before it was deleted:

Prime Minister Gordon Brown today, who is polling third behind his opponents in the election, called a female candidate a bigoted woman in private remarks which were recorded and played back to him on the BBC. He swiftly apologized but it’s sure to sting a little longer though his apology was accepted by his opponent.

Edit: I fail, the woman was just some random bigot who was out getting bread and milk. I read another story that claimed she was a candidate.

For television viewers, one of the day’s most excruciating moments came when a BBC Radio announcer told Brown that he had a tape recording of the private conversation and played it back for him. In what could become a defining image of the election, Brown, whose party is running third in most opinion polls, buried his head in his hands.

Via The Washington Post: Gordon Brown stumbles on campaign trail.
