cressida Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Not a fan of UKIP but throwing stuff at MP's is hardly the best way to get your message across. Must have been a member of the 'rough and reggy party' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Eggs are good...cheaper than pies...more satisfying as they crack and plop? I wouldn't waste a pie on someone like Farage. A Mac Dungballs burger dripping with sauce, perhaps? At least it would be something inedible, so not so much of a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Normally these egg incidents are light hearted fun where even the victim can take it in good humour, but this one looked quite malicious and very close range and probably hurt. It almost looked like the guy through a punch but with an egg in his hand. He wants arresting for assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPC464 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Any truth in the rumour that Farage was disappointed that they hadn't separated the whites first? Arf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 What an absolute prat! I wonder how long it would be before this guy would be squealing to the press and police if UKIP supporters started throwing eggs at him everywhere he goes in the future. What a farce our democratic process would become if everybody went out and started throwing eggs at politicians and councillors they didn't like. He told the BBC: "Egg-throwing is a well established form of political protest in this country. No it's not, the established (and proper) way of political protest is by having the debate and then voting at the election booth. I hope they do this guy with assault and give him a substantial fine to make a statement. I'm no fan of Prescott, but I was with him all the way when he punched that guy who threw an egg at him.....There's no place for it.

Doom So you do not believe that physical assaults (however minor) are a valid way of demonstrating your anger...but it's OK to punch someone who throws an egg at you? Hmmm. I think the point about eggs and politicians is that eggs are not stones, or hand grenades. The chances of an egg thrown from a few yards away causing genuine injury are virtually nil. The only thing which is damaged by an egg thrown at a politician is his dignity. Plus, it generates much-needed income for the dry-cleaning industry. What's not to like?

Happ Hazzard Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 No-one is going to be dissuaded from voting UKIP because the leader of the party got hit with an egg. It just reflects badly on the protester and the left in general that they cannot argue against UKIPs policy but must resort to violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
