Hah! Hahahaha!
Jun. 9th, 2009 05:44 pmRegarding BNP leader Nick Griffin getting egged to his car, from Yahoo news:
Mr Griffin alleged 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.
"It's a very, very sad day for British democracy," he said. "People should be entitled to hear what we have to say and to hear journalists question us robustly."
Oh, the wonderful inversion of it all. Sad day for British democracy? It's a WONDERFUL day for British democracy, mate! Everyone hates you and no-one wants to hear you spew vitriol, so the British pulic(ie potential voters) took matters into their own hands and pelted you with eggs until you scarpered! If there had been knives shown, or dangerous missiles, I can see a valid objection. But the only real threat he was under was a dry cleaning bill, so the man is shown for what he is - a coward.
As to the suggestion that Labour, the Lib Dems and Tories see the BNP as a big enough threat to put aside all their differences and conspire together to covertly organise a group of grocery-lobbers - I have to wonder what colour the sky is where he's from.
