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

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

Well, I guess we can tell newspapers sympathies tomorrow by whether they run the 'OMG, affront to democracy! Innocent fascist got egged' line, or the 'LOL, look at this' line.

it would be awesome if Griffin became "that guy who gets egged every time he appears in public"

Am spreading this idea everywhere I can think of. Britain, we can do this.

Am going to start carrying a dozen large free-range in my coat pocket from now on, just in case.

In fact, there's surely a market for a tailor-made egg bandolier for this purpose?

Just heard about the Euro election results for Brighton. The Greens got 20,000 votes (a third of all votes cast) - 6,000 more than the Tories and Labour was third, quite some way behind that. Dunno how this would translate to a GE vote, but pretty O_O all the same.

More like Brongton.

Not so. All the paps had the "lol" angle, but the letters page... (which is where you truly get the newspapers' sympathies: Hey, they get to pick the letters for publication with a "We didn't say it, he did" shrug)

More like Brongton.

Least it's not Bronston, Yorkie folks.

Er, trust me: that is not how newspaper letters pages work at all. Indeed, quite often the letters chosen will be wildly at odds with the paper's editorial stance, in order to foster debate.

If you want to know what a paper thinks, it's astonishingly simple: read the leader column.

I trust you, grimly...

Greens also won Norwich and Oxford.

A handy sortable list.

(May have been posted upthread, sorry).

Hey good list. Tories got 51% of the vote in Gibraltar. Do they let the monkeys vote or something?

All the paps had the "lol" angle

Star had the inevitable "The Yolk's On You"

Has anybody asked Nick Griffin what he thinks of all these Gurkhas coming over here, stealing our women and sleeping with our jobs?

Didn't he say they were mercenaries and don't deserve anything?

nah that was Gordon Brown

lol

I remember posting something along the lines of "they say "Labour want to allow half a million Gurkhas to settle here"" a short while ago.

All the paps had the "lol" angle

Mentioned this on another thread already but the Express won with its front page photo caption of "Griffin was spattered with egg yolk. The BNP only accepts whites."

Not sure if it was intentional, though.

Didn't he say they were mercenaries and don't deserve anything?

Quail egg attack by Joanna Lumley is a must

Good luck Doncaster:

Like a true Englishman, Peter Davies is celebrating his victory with a pint of foaming nut-brown ale in the Dome's Icebreaker Bar.

I would like to make love all night long to BBC Radio Sheffield's Toby Foster for that.

lolz, don't know what this guy was expecting. toby foster runs the comedy night at my local back home. notorious quick-thinking wag.

Wonder if he is up for the craic crack?

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan is an Irish politician and social campaigner. He began his political career running unsuccessfully as an independent candidate in the Galway West constituency in 1997, and went on to contest the Connaught Ulster constituency in the European elections of 1999 and the Longford-Roscommon constituency in the 2002 Dáil election.[1] On none of these occasions did he reach two per cent of the vote.[2]

He was viewed as a joke candidate, shaving his hair and styling his beard in the way of Ming the Merciless from the film Flash Gordon. His posters and other election material featured a cannabis leaf, and legalisation of the drug was one of his main policy platforms. He voiced uncompromising support for radical social and environmental issues, and displayed a knack for using the media, being featured in many newspapers and radio programmes who were attracted by his colourful appearance and strong rhetoric.

In 2001 he hit the headlines when he sent more than 200 cannabis cigarettes to politicians in the Oireachtas, one to each TD and senator, as part of his campaign to have cannabis legalised.[3][4]

He returned to his native Castlerea and contested the 2004 local elections, and was elected to Roscommon County Council,[5] topping the poll and getting elected on the first count, defeating sitting councilors John Murray and Danny Burke.[6] He was re-elected on the first count in June 2009, receiving 16.8% of 1st preference votes in his Castlerea electoral area, and exceeding the quota by 394 votes
