Have I got this wrong, or do I recall that after Gordon Brown's webchat here, MNHQ said that he didn't actually get to see the famous 'biscuit question'? In other words, Brown did not ignore the question - it was just never actually put to him, and so (obviously) he could not reply to it.
But many articles in the press since then suggest that Brown ducked the question.
If Brown didn't see the question in the first place, why isn't MNHQ doing more to make this clear?
For example, see this comment in the 'Telegraph' on Saturday 9th April (Charles Moore talking about young voters' reluctance to vote for Brown):
'What struck me most were the answers to questions about Gordon Brown. I had expected some hostility and some ideological support, but found neither. Some said that they thought people had been too nasty to him and that he was doing a difficult job reasonably well. But when I asked what Mr Brown stood for, all of them said that they had no idea. "Christ knows!" one put it. "All he ever does is defend himself," said another, who also remembered his weekend-long hesitation before he could bring himself to tell Mumsnet which biscuit he preferred. "I just don't understand what he's doing," said a third. "Shouldn't I know what the Prime Minister is doing?"'
Now, I am not a standard-bearer for Brown. But it does seem to me that if he is being castigated for not answering the 'biscuit question', MNHQ could be doing more to make it clear that Brown wasn't ever asked it.
