| GEORGE GALLOWAY said he was pelted with eggs today when he spoke at a May Day rally. The Glasgow Kelvin MP was speaking at a workers' festival in Wallasey, Merseyside, to a crowd of around 200 supporters. When he began his speech, a shaven-headed man threw three objects including eggs and shouted: "You are up Saddam's a***." The man was confronted by several members of the crowd before being arrested by police to prevent a breach of the peace. |

| #6 The shit storm he's facing will make getting pelted by eggs (at a May Rally no less!) seem like a nice way to unwind. This guy is in big, big, big trouble...maybe even facing a hangin' |

| #5 Doesn't sound like a BNP supporter to me.BNP was against the war.Here's the link to their official statement ont he war: http://www.bnp.org.uk/articles/stop_war_iraq.htm They blame the war in Iraq on oil companies and the "Israeli lobby".Amazing how the real far right sounds exactly like the leftists,isn't it? |

| #3 Mr Galloway told Sky News the egg was thrown by a member of the British National Party. "I was not pelted. Two known members of the far-right BNP threw a couple of eggs at me but because I am a Scotsman and they are far-right activists I managed to avoid them," he said. Thanks George for clearing up any confusion with a confusing non sequitur. |
