We all know what would have happened if Griffin had reacted - the piggies would have waded straight in and arrested him, on the orders of their "neutral" paymasters & chiefs. It would have been a massive story "Look, fascist pig is a violent thug", and he would have had the book thrown at him.
What we should really take from this: Is it either right or wrong to egg/physically attack a democratically elected politician? It either is or it isn't.
Now, about the UAF - now the sloganeering is all fine and dandy, very honourable and pc... The signitories of the UAF and nearly all Labour people.

Cast aside for now your entrenched political beliefs, and realise that this effectively means a group seen by all of us as undermining the democratic process are effectively supported/bankrolled by the ruling government.
Not one of them has spoken out against the "protest"/attack, so I presume that they now approve of this method of "protest" against the democratically elected MPs/MEPs. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, surely?
