"Could Gordon run a whelk stall?"

From The Telegraph:

Following the disastrous local elections, many are now openly saying that Gordon Brown couldn't run a whelk stall. Some go further, and say that the beleaguered Prime Minister couldn't run a whelk stall in Whelk Land at the height of the whelk season, in a year when there was a glut of whelks.

H/t Quiet Guy at HPC.

But, but, but, Gordon is a Scot, so the test is "Could he run a sweetie shop?". The answer is the same.

Actually, that's probably rather difficult to do profitably.

Not defending Gordo, just a rubbish line.
