I LISTENED to the response of the egg-pelted BNP leader on television. He had simply been there to listen to questions and respond reasonably to them, and then... such an outrage.

Sadly, by choosing egg-throwing rather than argument, it is probable that what this protest against the BNP has in fact achieved is to give its odious target a public relations coup about which to crow. Oh, well done.
