Nick Griffin Egged At Own Press Conference (VIDEO)

Following the success of the far-right British National Party (BNP) in this week's European Union parliamentary elections, a public backlash is ensuing.

BNP chief Nick Griffin had to flee his own press conference outside the Houses of Parliament in London Tuesday due to a barrage of eggs from rowdy protesters, the Telegraph reports:

He had arrived at the press conference on College Green in front of Parliament with fellow newly-elected BNP MEP Andrew Brons.

Mr Griffin started by attacking articles from the day's newspapers which criticised him and his party.

But he had only been speaking for a few minutes when the protesters appeared, chanting and waving banners reading: "Stop the fascist BNP." Eggs were thrown at Mr Griffin and his bodyguards bundled him away through the crowd.

One ought not to wonder why the conservative republicans take such great trouble in defending the BNP.There have been contacts all along between the european fascists and them for ages:an exampel of that is to be found here .It reveals contacts between them and our own finest inbreeds:

Throwing eggs at elected politicians is rather uncivilized, I would say and could be quite dangerous. Shouldn't the protestors take out their frustrations through letter writing, joining political groups, et cetera? I am surprised by how many here condone this behavior. Of course, if the target was a Labour MP I imagine everyone would be outraged.

The BNP are the party who want all Eastern European people to be removed from Britain.

In order to show how patriotic they they are they included a picture of a 'British' Spitfire fighter from WWII on one of their election leaflets.

Unfortunately for them the picture was of a Spitfire from 303 Squadron of the Polish Air Force.

Stupid, I can forgive, Fascists I can't.

[Sensiblebg]

Bad acid?

You shouldn't pretend the BNP is a "conservative" party.
Read up a bit first, or if you want to get it first-hand:

In case you've forgotten the glorious 1st inauguration of GW Bush -- they egged his limo and they could not get out of the car for the traditional walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.

So, Americans Know how to throw eggs at rotten people

[SF13]

Huffington post . why did you delete my post ? It was true .

[SF13]

Bush was egged on his first inauguration day as they walked toward the White House. they got back in the limo

[SoCalNick]

I have seen footage of his entire motorcade covered in eggs and junk. The MSM kept it all under cover. He was Hated from day 1 and rightly so as it turns out.

[ElodieStClair]

B-R-A-V-O!

THAT is how you do it.

[EvieEve]

Wow, didn't realize the Brits were so hardcore.

[ApolloSpeaks]

It could have been worse. It could have been someone's smelly shoe.

[reedaleddy]

Way to go across the pond! America needs to get off their lazy boy's and computer's and protest like that before we lose the little privileges (rights) we have left, this is not how our country was suppose to be, it is sad I used to be so proud of the country my family came to before it was a country, my great great grandma used to have to hide in a false floor space from the native american's

[JulieSA]

So you think people should be egging our leaders, like Obama? i don't.

Harry Reid?

I'll have to think about that one.

[ElodieStClair]

Oh don't be such a moral relativist. There's a huge difference between a leader who you might disagree with and a publicly avowed fascist.

If you can't discern the monumentally huge difference, then you have no moral compass.

I rather liked it when they egged Bush's limo .. yes we can ! and we did !

[txfriend]

Indians should have gotten you.

[buckeyedave]

So that is how liberals act after losing and election.

[ObamAtomic]

Check your eyes and tongue ,eh.

[ElodieStClair]

It's not about losing an election, you simpleton. It's about losing an election TO WHOM.

Unless you are confessing that you are unable to discern the difference between a Neo-Con and a fascist.

[JoannaOregon]

Mebbe they learned from the neoconguys. HA!

[Sensiblebg]

I dont recall conservatives egging Obama...

[DKLabRat]

Griffin is a loathsome little weasel of a man. Any politician who needs to roam around with a phalanx of bodyguards (aka hired thugs) - well, tells you everything you need to know, really. I hear that he's now saying that the protesters were 'a militia organised by the main political parties' - which is a good indication of just how loopy the man is.

Franco, Mussolini, Hit-ler, failed in the end. Life was an absence of rights and possibilities, and people weren't so well informed.

Now they will only served as barometer for the people's mood, and will be pregressively marginalized to finally vanish, until the next economical crisis. There is no place for them in the future of Europe.

The 18 - 35 years old didn't vote this time. And they are the pillar-soul of the EU identity. If danger come from those autocrat wannabes, they will go to vote in massive numbers.

Fascism...­.just an obsolete idea of the past, that can't be applied rationally nowadays, in Europe.
