At last, the election has thrown up a real character. Manish Sood, Labour PPC for
North-West Norfolk, has told the Lynn Newspaper:
‘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.’
There is a further act in the farce. Mr Sood campaigns on the imaginative ticket of ‘taking Britain back to the 1970s.’
