Here is video of a BBC interviewer asking British Prime Minister Gordon Brown if he takes pain killers to "get through," meaning to get through the day.

But Brown explained he has had surgery for detached retinas in both eyes over the years, and said his eyesight is not deteriorating. . . . (VIDEO)

Dumb and very rude. I do not like Brown at all and Cry Baby Cameron will be PM within 8 months, but being RUDE is unacceptable.
Mocking someone for his injury/disability is TACKY and cheap.
I like the English press for their “pluck” but the other side of pluck is being downright rude.
This interview was the equivalent of the nekkid chick they show on Page 3 of Sun. Dumb and low brow to please the dumb and low brow
This is a big scandal in the UK right now.
Reminds me of when the Brits were mocking their US counterparts for standing up to greet Prez Bush during his press conferences and a very leftie US Big Media type replied back tartly ..”That is because we STILL have manners here in the US”....
Ouch! I guess Mum England is all yobs now and the old order is fading away

You nailed it. ‘Tabloids’ rule.
If Brown has a genuine medical condition that causes real pain then one could expect that reasonable attempts would be made to alleviate that pain.And sometimes that can include pills.
And has he stopped beating his wife as well? [/s]
