Gordon Brown Bugs himself while using an RF transmitter during a private conversation.
The Prime Minister has been forced to apologise to a pensioner he described as 'bigoted woman' following an encounter on the campaign trail in Rochdale.
Gordon Brown was wearing a Sky News radio microphone when he privately expressed his unhappiness at having been confronted by Gillian Duffy over a number of issues including immigration.
Despite being seated in his car, the microphone and RF transmitter had no problems picking up a high quality recording of what was said. Brown was clearly embarrassed when later during a live Radio Two Interview, journalist Jeremy Vine broadcast the tape of the PM describing the meeting with Mrs Duffy as 'a disaster'.
The technology used in a radio microphone is essentially the same as that used in RF bugging devices. The only real difference is that in this case the prime minister knew the microphone was there and working; his failure to use the off switch may well prove very costly to his election hopes.
