Since that whole beer thing didn’t go so well Ed has been looking for something a bit more believable to show he is a normal bloke. The answer: kebabs. Miliband has praised the launch of the British Kebab magazine and this year’s associated British Kebab Awards, they of the dodgy Labour doners:

This new-found love of Turkey’s national dish will come as a surprise to Ed’s old classmate Kevin Mustafa, who the future Labour leader allegedly abused as a “Turkish b*stard” back at school. Kevin famously told the Mail in 2011:

“We did not agree on something and I belittled him and dismissed him as if what he said was a stupid comment. In retaliation, he lashed out with verbal abuse. He called me a Turkish b*stard so I hit him. I gave my reasons as to why I did it but was dismissed and I was suspended for three days. He was not a friend of mine but we sat in the same class. Although he was no better than us he had quite a high opinion of himself. He tried to come across as if he was more intelligent. Most of the time we let it pass but I lost my rag that day.”

Just another pitta-ful gimmick…
