A heckler attempted to disrupt a campaign stop by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Saturday, before he was hustled out of the door.

Brown was addressing an audience of Labour supporters in northeastern England, days before Britain's general election on May 6. Oxford University law graduate Julian Borthwick, 38, shouted: "We're broke" and "What about that bigoted woman?" - a reference to the broadcast by the media of private remarks made by Brown after accidentally leaving his television microphone switched on.

Brown referred to voter Gillian Duffy as "that bigoted woman" after she challenged him on immigration. (Read: Gordon Brown remark on 'bigoted woman': Big mistake?)
