The Egg Man



The chap who pelted the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, with eggs the other day may have a good aim - but his political views are all over the place.

 Dean Porter (38) is reported to have unleashed his volley of six eggs  for the following reasons:

 1 The Iraq War
2 Homelessness
3 Anger at the banks
4 A sense of grievance that Ed beat his brother David in the 2010 Labour leadership election 

 Now that covers a whole lot of ground, politically speaking, and I'm not sure that Ed can be held to blame directly for any of them - other than using his trade union chums and undemocratic union votes - to overturn the will of individual party members in the Labour leadership race.

 So, it seems to me that Dean Porter is a complete plonker and I'm only sorry that Ed didn't give him a well deserved left hook to the chin - in the style of John Prescott some years ago when Two Jags was similarly attacked by some long-haired, egg wielding yob - while out on the campaign trail.

 If you ask me that was probably the highlight of John Prescott's political career, so useless was he in other areas - and it would have done Ed's geeky image a power of good to give some High Street bully a taste of his own medicine.

 Apparently Ed asked the Police not to press charges against the egg-pelting Dean, but for the life of me I can't see why - people who behave in that kind of anti-social way will only be encouraged if they walk away Scot-free.

 And that's why John Prescott's assailant would think twice before doing the same thing again.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
