Brits - Who are you voting for in the European Elections?

would a creme egg hurt more? heavier but would just bounce straight off i guess

i think half the point is the unpleasantness of having egg on you.

I hope the cunt gets egged wherever he goes

my thoughts exactly. Or possibly the revolutionary bakers can get him when he gets to brussels.

I can't read that sentance without snickering at the idea of the phrase "cunt-egging" (there was a SC in-joke involving this.)

dmac may have a point in that egging him may encourage more sympathy (plus counter-accusations of fascism against him - dubious as these may be they are an irritating obstacle in the process) for him/his causes. it's likely to as much if not more harm than good in this case.

it's as much a reach to link egg throwing to assassination as it is to link the frustrated election of two BNP councillors to Hitler, but yeah w/e

Errrrrrrrrrrr, not really, I was just giving you another example of a democratically elected politician who I wouldn't have agreed with who I would not have been be all butthurt over, like a weepy woolly liberal tosspot, if he'd got egged

that wasn't the point, but in any case i don't think that BNP are what you'd call natural recipients of a sympathy vote.

eh, am i a weepy, woolly liberal tosspot? that's go to be one of the great ILX pseudo transformations

well, apart from the tosspot bit granted

dmac may have a point in that egging him may encourage more sympathy ... it's likely to as much if not more harm than good in this case.

Are you kidding me?

Who's the woman?

Anybody know where I can score these?

JK Rowling, I think

xpost, or possibly not

Good job he's got all that muscle he wanders around with, not even prepared to take an egg for the Great Leader.

Are you kidding me?

nope. seems like the kind of publicity he and his supporters will just use as an example of why they are right.

Prescott got egged in 2001. Labour then won two general elections. Coincidenceithinknot.

The thing that will make it funny tho is if somebody eggs him as he explains that.

this guy's been elected by a considerable number of people. trying to pretend that their vote was in some way invalid or 'wrong' with this sort of behaviour (or simply refusing to deal with it as if it ever happened) isn't really going to address any of the marginalisation issues that were likely a huge factor in these guys getting in in the first place.

They're right because an egg got thrown at him? Could this egg be the BNP's fire at the Reichstag?

On one level you're completely right darragh, on another level it would be awesome if Griffin became "that guy who gets egged every time he appears in public".

No, but he deserves to get an egg thrown at him, so he's getting an egg thrown at him

ok, i fully agree with you there NV. but it has to be all or nothinh imo

if it happened tony blair more often i'd be happier.

looks like he's about to start blubbing

Arshavin etc.

yeah what about Brons? perhaps he is not recognisable enough for eggs

btw isn't that woman her out of Dragon's Den (back off lawyers)

LOL, scared of an egg

Perhaps they could cover the egg in faeces next time, just to stop the whole thing getting predictable?

unhappy fascist is unhappy

Guy could have an egg allergy, that could've killed him.

Here's hoping he tries a fact-finding mission to Lithuania.

I'm sure that Griffin understands that you need to break a few eggs to make an umlaut.

Prescott got egged in 2001. Labour then won two general elections. Coincidenceithinknot.

To be fair, Prescott's response was to punch the guy whereas Griffin is hiding under his KKK Weekly SS Gazette Daily Mail Grauniad like a reet ponce.

Speaking to BBC News afterwards Mr Griffin alleged that the three main political parties were trying to prevent the BNP getting its message across by colluding with protesters who he said were mainly left-wing students.

LOL, idiot

To be fair the Tories do recruit a lot of members from SWSS.

John Major got egged in around 1994 as well I think. In the face.

But enough about Edwina Currie.

Excellent times to throw eggs.

It is the Guardian probably. Griffin was making a speech whining about the bad press he is getting, poor old diddums.

Presumably the BNP have a policy to stop that happening.

^^ Those chaps prob not about to win two elections.

People need to get inventive here. I'd like to see somebody play hugely amplified farting noises next time he tries to speak in public.

They shouldn't stop until he actually cries in public, looks like they got close here

I'm all for a few eggs being thrown but not under any illusion that he will try and use this to his advantage. However the thought of seeing him like this...

VS.

...makes me inclined to encourage the egg throwers.

Get somebody to dress as a Klansman and follow him around all day.

Same suit, same tie. Hopefully we won't see him for a week while that lot's in the cleaners.

Andrew Brons can loan him one of his old Nazi uniforms

... but I imagine only on condition that he watches him to change into it
