BBC stuns Brown with a pill taking question | A heated row has cropped up between 10, Downing Street and BBC after
a reporter shocked the Prime Minister during a live television interview on the
opening day of Labour's annual conference in Brighton by asking whether he took
pills to help him "get through". Brown's aides last night said they were amazed
that despite issuing denials to an internet rumor in recent weeks, and specifically
to the BBC, the reporter - Andrew Marr still went ahead and asked the question.
Marr asked "Something everybody has been talking about in the Westminster village...
A lot of people in this country use prescription painkillers and pills to help
them get through. Are you one of them?" According to The Telegraph, a stunned
Brown replied: "No. I think this is the sort of questioning which is all too often
entering the lexicon of British politics." Attempts to return to the issue were
summarily cut off by a clearly irritated Brown who said: "I've already answered
that question." |
