He derailed the event by shouting “we’re broke” and \u201cwhat about that bigoted woman?\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr Brown responded by saying that there would be “plenty of time” to ask questions afterwards.<\/p>\n
The Oxford law graduate said he was protesting the Prime Minister\u2019s refusal to meet \u201creal people\u201d.<\/p>\n
