It would maybe be cleverer to dress up as national front thugs and stand around him dribbling and grunting in agreement with him.

RE: Free speech...
If the likes of Griffin can get away with saying what he wants... then surely the converse is also true... i.e. you can say what you want about him and his party, as that's just your right to free speech after all... or does it only apply to one side now?
Free speech is one thing...violence (throwing objects at people with the intention to injure is violence, surely?) is another...or is violence ok if you are aiming it at a member of the BNP??
sorry but YES
Since when was violence acceptable? It may have ONLY been an egg...but next time it might be something far more dangerous and that would be fine too cos he's Nick Griffin, would it??? Because then that would make them as bad as him....
I hate the fact that everything is so damn one-sided in this country, and a majority are cool with that.
This should work both ways. If Nick Griffins hate speech is to be censored, then the police and the public in general need to STOP accepting hate speech when done under the guise of religion.
Soldiers returning from Iraq being abused and receiving death threats, for instance, is disgusting and offensive behaviour, and yet it was tolerated for the mostpart.
A bigger insult on top of that would be that a couple of folks who retaliated were automatically arrested.
I do not take people too seriously if they lambast the likes of Nick Griffin, whilst allowing the likes of Abu Hamza to freely spew his extremism.
I may have only given a couple of examples, but the failure to treat all hatred with equal contempt is something which regularly disheartens me.

I voted....not for the BNP...but I voted...how many of these egg throwers and complainers did???

well you have to admit that what you are supporting could best be described as fascist or stalinist, which is being used against a democraticly elected mep, i guess that makes you anti democratic too.

I agree an egg is not particularly dangerous, which then begs the question, why bother??? All the egg thrower is doing is making themselves look silly and ineloquent...I understand the whole implication of 'egg on his face' etc, but at the end of the day, there are far more adult ways of getting your point across and, shock horror, of being taken seriously....

well yes compared to a paintball it is, but even the stupid idiots "protesting" arent that stupid to pull a gun in front of the houses of parliament, if they did then they would get what they deserved.
Well I'm glad to see the people taking to the street in protest.
Concerns me that they get so excited about an essential nonentity like Griffin, when a far more anti-democratic and dangerous dictatorial type who continues to possess the power to cause real damage remains un-egged.
Eggs for Browngabe and Zanulabour-PF!

I was speaking regarding those who wish to take free speech away from the likes of Nick Griffin, but at the same time they do not speak out in the same way when another group try and oppress someone else.
Personally I am not for censorship, people tend to hang themselves pretty well and those who do not realise that free speech comes with a degree of responsibility tend to burn out pretty quick.
I find it a tad inconsistent for those who are condemning Nick Griffin not to also condemn other fanatics, this is my point. Appeasers make me pretty sick.
When one's politics replace ones sense of decency, it ceases to impress me.
Nick Griffin should be allowed to speak, no amount of egg throwing will alter the fact that he is now an elected MEP, and the reasons that was allowed to happen is down to all those who favoured apathy over making a stand. Running up the street with placards and half a dozen sodding free range eggs is pointless.

Tis rare entertainment for we alienated proletariat types!
There's a long standing tradition of throwing eggs or flour at politicians so I think should be seen in that light. However, and I bet this is not going to be a generally popular view, I don't think it is right to censor him.
Not only is he one of the representatives of 900,000+ voters in the European Parliament, he is also entitled as a private individual to go about his lawful business unmolested.
If the police were around at the time then they should have kept the protestors at a reasonable distance for starters. Those of us who are interested in what he has to say should also be able to listen even if we disagree with his views. Otherwise, it's all done on hearsay and distant reputation.
Right, there's my liberal duty done. Nick Griffin is, of course, a twat despite all this.
