He's apologised for the comments made about the PM's appearance just depends now on wether he appears to be an idiot or is an idiot if it's the latter then it could be taken as not a full apology "Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag'em down to your level. It's cheaper".

I thought he meant he was a knob, referring to one eye....

I think he meant to say myopic, but knowing that the average Aussie probably wouldn't get it he opted for a simpler word D4 HSE Luxury SDV6,

Well Jezza is not bowing to the PC brigade completely
He has apologised for the one eyed and scottish bit.
But has refused to retract the idiot bit!

I am sure if we asked Gordon he would probably say that is one of the mildest descriptions he has had.
It's not really his fault about the economy, he was only able to keep one eye on it
As for people being offended, my father is blind and he wasn't in the least offended as suggested by the RNIB. By highlighting handicaps for every minor thing it only goes to make people more nervous about being around them in case they say something to offend them. It also gets people's defences up and alienates normal people from helping when it is really necessary because they are so off with the PC brigade. You'll notice that not many visually impaired people have made complaints or even Gordon, just lot's of people on their behalf.
As for being Scottish, I think somebody should provide some support for that (only kidding JMC )
