'Brown worst ever PM', says Labour candidate
Makes you wonder why he chose to stand for Labour in the first place.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brown-worst-ever-pm-says-labour-candidate-1961848.html

A Labour parliamentary candidate today dubbed Gordon Brown the worst prime minister Britain has had.

According to the Lynn News newspaper, North West Norfolk candidate Manish Sood said: "Immigration has gone up which is creating friction within communities. The country is getting bigger and messier.

"The role of ministers has gone bureaucratic and the action of ministers has gone downhill - it is corrupt. The loss of social values is the basic problem and this is not what the Labour Party is about.

I believe Gordon Brown has been the worst prime minister we have had in this country. It is a disgrace and he owes an apology to the people and the Queen."

1. The irony
He himself is a product of immigration with a name like Manish Sood and he dares to criticise the immigration policy?!!!

3. Not sure its fair
to be misled by his name. For all you know he's one of those whose family came over in the '70s under right entry from Uganda when Idi Amin kicked out all of the Asians.

2. What a loon!
Sounds like they couldn't find anyone else willing to stand for Labour in that constituency.

'A party source said the CLP had considered deselecting Mr Sood on several occasions in the past but had decided it "wasn't worth the effort", given the large Tory majority.''

4. I don't think it ever occurred to me to ask the question...
'If Zell Miller were a British Asian living in Norfolk, who would he be?'

But I've found out the answer anyway.
