There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
"The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
To say that expressing your political opinion in form of egg-throwing is physical assault, is exaggeration.
To claim who's Fascist and who's not you have to
1./ define the characteristics of Fascism
2./ assign those characteristics to said person / movement / party with an utmost certainty that leaves no doubt it is a coincidence and not similarity
I'd bet 1,000 USD that no one in this thread will ever tackle these tasks.
Life is full of surprises and you never know what you're going to get until you get it; always expect the unexpected.
Last time I looked hitting someone was an assault.
As for the merits of socialism/fascism. Two cheeks of the same arse.
So who decides what can be said and by whom?

Socialism and Fascism are different principles.
Don't distort what Socialism is.

Meh, throwing eggs is part of liberal democracy, politicians have to live with that.
You meant communism, I presume.As for the merits of socialism/fascism.

Some peeps need to look at the history books.

Eggs, Shoes; same thing really.
Also, just because they are against the policies of a democraticly elected memeber of the European parliament, does not mean that they are in themselves against democracy. You can be in favour of democracy and against the policies of a party enough to lead to such actions. That guy who threw the egg at Prescott, was he a fascist? If I - as a democratically elected student officer of the music society is attacked by a competing music society on differences of viewpooint, does it make the other person a fascist?
I think it is the fact BNP hates anything other than white is which is why they are labelled as fascist.

Protesting is fine, assault is not. As distasteful as I find the BNP, for our democracy to be a democracy they unfortunately have to be granted the same rights as any other party. That includes being free from assault.
Hey, we do egg throwing at politicians here as well!
Belgian "egg throwing at politicians"- championship
Eggcellent! Maybe we should organise a World Championship?Damien Thierry (R), the mayor of the commune of Linkebeek, is protected by police after being hit by an egg on his head as he tried to put up a poster for the Union of Francophones in the Flemish town of Halle June 5, 2009. Thiery won a court ruling that he could put up a poster for the party despite the insistence of Flemish authorities that all electoral material must be in Dutch. The mayor of Halle chose to remove all electoral posters to avoid clashes between French-speakers and Flemish nationalists.
