Video: Nick Griffin, pelted with eggs, mobbed by angry protesters.

The leader of a British right wing political party, Nick Griffin, was pelted with eggs and verbally abused. The bizarre incent happend as the newly elected politician did a stand up in front of the British House of Parliament for UK media.

A first hand account by UK political reporter Gary Gibbon from Channel 4 News UK:

Nick Griffin had got only a short way into criticising coverage of his party in the newspapers when a crowd of about 150 demonstrators descended on Griffin, fellow MEP Andrew Brons, and their minders.

The two groups then seemed to merge as the minders tried to steer their MEPs to safety, they swarmed off the Green, down towards College Green, opposite St Stephen’s entrance to the Commons and then minders got the BNP group into two waiting cars.

A couple of minutes later and a school bus party was packing the pavement, scores of tourists too.

One demonstrator was taken away in an ambulance.
