Tough question and Brown fails

So for the vote, how should Brown have replied:
a) Nothing and then gone and winged to his aides in his car.
b) Quite probably from Eastern Europe. That is after all where Eastern Europeans tend to come from.
c) Well they may be foreign but like our North Korean brothers they too have the right to a workers bomb.(The Spart option)
d) Well we are kicking immigrants out, faster than the BNP can fantasise about, but vote Labour (and build a fighting socialist alternative)( SWP non option=support for the party of British imperialism (whilst building a fighting socialist alternative).

Really most problems can be solved with a worker's bomb
i'd say "Quite probably from Eastern Europe. That is after all where Eastern Europeans tend to come from" or something like that
but
brown should have said "Well we are kicking immigrants out, faster than the BNP can fantasise about, but vote Labour" cause that way he would have told the truth at least once in the campain

At least he called the woman a bigot later... even though he is desperately pretending that she isn't one now
What's a "workers bomb" ?
Brown's counter-argument was vague. He could have meant something like since British are going into Europe (Western and Eastern), it may be at some of the people coming from Eastern Europe were of at least British decent.
If he said "from Eastern Europe", then they probably would have demanded a more specific answer. But regardless, I think to many western racists the term "Eastern European" is equatable to "dirty and backward" or the like (especially with Nazis). So the bigot could have just responded with "from a dirty and backwards country", or the like.
Either way, it was probably a loaded question and the instant he answered it, Brown was doomed regardless.

It was a toss-up between the 'quite possibly from...' and the SWP option, but I went with the former.

It is a reference to a Trotskyist group that fanatically supports North Korea. They had a chant on demonstrations that refereed to 'one bomb, the workers bomb'.
