This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in Tower Hamlets politics.
This character, Motiur (Nanu) Rahman, issued this video on Wednesday and was standing for mayor last night. He came last with 292 votes. Had this speech been better publicised before the election he’d probably have sailed it.
I’m certain it’s serious although part of me also thinks it’s a new Sacha Baron Cohen character: I’d call him Bara G.
You’ll understand why after watching it. I’ll try and embed it here, but WordPress is a bit clunky embedding Facebook videos so if you can’t see it then do hit this link: it’s worth it.
When he says bara he means borough.
The comments underneath the posting on Abjol Miah’s Facebook page are also worth reading: they’re brilliant.
