I thought he handled that eggceptionally.
Gfresh844 Eggzactly what I was thinking.
Gfresh844 Very true, some politicians would scramble away whilst others would boil over and retaliate with a punch. I guess he saw the funny side and thought it was a bit of a yolk.
Gfresh844 That was a cracking yoke
Eggpertly put
Contrast this to the snowflake UKIP/Brexiters who's first reaction is to scurry off to have a cry.
Respect for Miliband. Despite what is sometimes claimed he had tough skin. Just laughed this off.
Total contrast to John Prescott being attacked with an egg and reacting violently. In the 1990s a woman hit PM John Major with an egg.
Would of been funny if the hand came over once again & did it on his shirt
I was begging for a second hit!
Dufus Rufus HAHA
Dufus Rufus And then if he took off the shirt and the hand came over yet again after that
minotaur878 he wears 20 shirts

Thanks for your input, do tell me how a sentence with the word ^of^ should have been formulated?
First it was egg, then it was bacon. Is there any part of the English Breakfast that Ed Miliband does get along with?
+Christopher H Good one, guess he would rather a Continental!
Christopher Heward what about the beans and the sausage
Definitely the gentlemans sausage
And now he's toast ☺️
Fair play to Ed Miliband though, he reacted very well and kept his cool.
No he got robbed
Kept calmer than Prescott aha
Egg Miliband
20shourya Oh, I bet you stayed up all night coming up with that one.
***** I thought it was funny.
***** not rly i thought of the sme joke till i saw this guy beat me to it
***** oh yeah right, sure sure, we all believe you......
Still good.
I don't vote Labour but that was unfair
+TrueBlogge777 It was eggstremely unnecessary.
He handled that egging like a pro! Unlike Farage who's still bitching about milkshake being thrown at him weeks after it happened lmao
no he never, he acted like a bitch over it. Farage was the one that was cool about it after the left wing terrorist's attacked him
@@the-unknown-man-t6y damn terrorists and their milkshakes!
@@007211sam no the left and their looting, murder and burning down of cites, defacing of statues
That would be an understandable thing to bitch about
We miss you Ed
+Samuel Harrison Im no Ed fan but in hindsight he was good at making light of situations, seems pretty likeable
Alum Ye Moh Ye eggactly
Where's John Prescott when you need him
Lmao
+MudlarkDiggingUpTheThames He handled it better than Nigel Farage though.
lesterdylt T But Nigel Farage got it all over his hair
Whether or not you're a fan of Mr. Ed Milliband, you have to admit that he handled that situation like a pro.
It seemed like a polite gentlemen way to egg someone, if there ever was such a way.
Brilliant 😆
he handled that like a pro. It was as if nothing even happened, even the people around him forgot about it like a second later.
'Well he obviously isn't one of my fans' 😅😅
What Prescott did after he got egged is the most reasonable response imo.
i'm a conservative voter but that is totally outrageous and the man needs to be prosecuted
yes you're right ed miliband should be prosecuted. for being fucking useless.
simonking195 off to the tower of london with miliband .
simonking195 I was talking about egg man guys not ed willyband
Peter Hutchinson i know.. ;)
Behave yourself Peter.99.9% of Paedophiles are walking away Scott free & you want a egg thrower prosecuted? Give him a medal & a lifetime peerage
He took this like a man...
British politics just keeps getting weirder and weirder to me.
As much as I'm no fan of Ed Miliband, I respect him for recovering as well as he did.
Being a Labur supporter I don't like Ed at all, I think he's just as bad as Cameron, but honestly, he took that 'ambush' well.
That the hell are you talking about Ed is as left wing as you can get. Way to left wing for me. I like my taxes lower, not higher so Ed's parasite friends can't take it. We all know two types of people vote labour (people on benefits and the public sector).
Adi B Tax definitely should be lower for ordinary people; but increase the VAT tax while you cut taxations on all areas. For me, I'd prefer super rich being taxed more, as they control 80% of the wealth, if you can control that much of the wealth, you should pay 80% tax, as we need their tax to pay for public services and look after poor people and worse off kids, elderlys and disabled people.
CentreLeft Libertarian OMG 80% are you joking me. My family already pays 45% and we don't like it. We would move to USA if the taxes went over 60%. People like my dad contribute way more than we get from the government. The government takes 45p for every £1 earned which is a lot as that is close to half the income. Did you know the highest tax margin in China our biggest competitor is only 10%.
Adi B First of all, I did not say everyone should pay 80% tax, I was saying that the top 20% super rich class who controls 80% wealth of the society.
Secondly I know exactly how tax system works in China since my parents were born and raised in China and settled in Britain in 1990s. My father was a business man in China during 1980s, he has his own company and yet he paid £200,000 tax each year. The government takes 65% of his income out each year and that was only the official tax, the amount of money he spent to please the bureaucrats in order to keep him out of trouble is not included here.
You may know from their government report or media that China's taxation is around 10% but please do bear in mind that the CCP government don't always tell the truth to the outside or to their citizens. In China you pay 10% tax to the government, but as business men you must spend loads to forge good relationships with the Communist bureaucrats in case they won't trouble you. My cousin is now a generator supplier in China and his company is only medium size, he told me that he is paying £350,000 tax per year and the government pays him no respect. He must spend extra £200,000 to bribe officials in order to gain more deals from them cos the government monopolies everything. If it is as you said, Chinese business people only need to pay 10% tax each year, there wouldn't be so many rich, middle class Chinese trying to leave the country.
Like Cameron but wears a red tie and looks weird
Not a fan of Ed Miliband, but he doesn't deserve this kind of pathetic abuse.
in all fairness he took that well
He continues with intact dignity, I don't like him, but I cannot deny his reaction is really good.
I love how British this is - man eggs a politician, only to politely help him out by removing his jacket for him!
Not the same person mate
Handled that really well.
So what are Labour offering that's different from when they got booted out exactly? I'd love to know.
***** and that sounds good to you ?
*****
The rich pay more in tax already.
Its is a nice idea but is that gonna fix all the problems LOL labour damage more than they fix .. if labour get in then yes the working class will most likely have a decent year ... but the end result will be the same taxes will have to go back up and most likely to new heights .. then surprise the pressure is back on the working class! don't follow the carrots actually look into there policies .. and don't stop there look at all the parties policies and then think it over .
How can you egg Ed he's such a cutie :O
0:14, was the one of my best moments
Makes a change from having it on his face!
should have given him a bacon sandwich to go with that egg.
Matt Lee dont you mean turkey?😂
To be fair, he took that pretty well. I'd have been raging.
Guess they should call him Egg Miliband
I remember seeing this happen on Television, it was fantastic! Made my week XD
I must say I'm not fan of Labour nor was I fan of Ed, but that is a genuinely stupid thing to do
Publicly trying to humiliate someone in that way is cowardly and pathetic.
At least he didn't pull a Prescott and deck the protester.
I like how he ignored the mad man......
That is the most British reaction to being egged I’ve ever seen, man barely breaks his sentence!
As a Southamptoner, I have an affinity for this.
It was in Shirley outside sainsburys
I don't agree with egg'ing people as it just makes you a complete jerk. However, if you get so close to somebody that you intend to hit them with an egg, at least go for their head. Smashing it on their jacket is just pointless.
the fact that you aren't watching the announcements now also does
ok so that's a politician with egg on his shoulder, now on to america's tallest man with size 21 shoes
Beta male, should have punched him like Prescot -- a true alpha male.
This is still better than the time when someone threw a bag of fake blood at the NYC police commisioner
Fair play to Miliband here. People like Farage cry about a milkshake being thrown and get people a criminal record. Miliband just laughed this off and got on with it. I admired him for that reaction to be honest
Ed MILLBAND showing more composure at being egged than Liz Truss did at being compared to a lettuce.
Throwing or hitting someone in public office with an egg, in a democracy, is lower than infantile. To call it infantile is an insult to children. How does throwing eggs change political debate or action?
He did not retaliate like John Prescott.
Come back Ed all is forgiven.
I like him as a politician maybe not fit for a leader but cabinet member definitely...
his reaction to the egg stunt was very professional
He handled that quite well.
That man behind him got egged too, I'd be pissed if I was him.
UK debt is currently 62% of GDP. Japan for example has a National debt of 194%, Italy is over 100%. The US national debt is close to 75% of GDP. Up until 2008 Labour had reduced borrowing from 7% under the Tories in 97 to 4%, had repayed 41bn in net debt repayments in 3 years compared to just 17bn during the entire 17 previous years of Tory governments. Our National debt in 2008 was the same size as it was in 97. The world wide Crash in 2008 changed everything.
The facts speak for themselves
Egg Miliband lol
the dude behind him got some egg too, I bet he was like "screw this, I better move away before he gets hit with something worser, like a dipper or something nastier"
That was Very disrespectful splattering an Egg on Eds Suit!
Of course. Don't you know that every Prime Minister has to pass the Egg Test before taking office? Heath, Wilson, Callaghan, Thatcher, Blair - all withstood repeated eggings. Major cried, and Brown got angry, which is why they're not remembered as much. Egggggggggggggggg.
Recovery level... Reasonable.
Jesus man, you hit him pretty hard. Kind of feel bad for him
Least effective egger i have ever seen.
Who eggs someone and then helps them out?
lol. It did look like that didn't it...
The carpenter LOL !!
Also I am not taking anything from the government because I am not on welfare, I am a 17 year old student studying Accounting.
Not only was he egged the reporter called him Gordon. Brilliant
I agree. Shock ... fear ... anger ... statesmanlike calm. If the anger stage had been close to fury, he would've done a Prescott! He's well over 6' tall.
He handled that pretty well.
I agree. Usually got not time whatever for the guy but he handled that superbly.
Ed Miliband being hit by an egg was no yoke! People are extremely immature. However, he handled it very well and did not make a scramble of the situation unlike Prescott, who decided that being a Politician was not as eggciting as channeling his inner Rocky Balboa!
To egg or not to egg that is the question, Ed Miliband is the answer.
These puns are eggcellent and make me eggstatic!
Of all the politicians in the world to (try and) humiliate, why do this to Ed Miliband.
He thought someone said "egg" Miliband...
Fair dues. He dealt with that better than I would.
I agree there Andy! Miliband's new caring labour appears much fairer than that of the Blair/Brown. I think that it is the best we can get from Labour, they will never be able to speak for Britain as whole, as such, but their efforts a far greater than Cameron's, and they appear to actually care about the vast majority in this country, not just the elites.
Hahahaha the sound he makes when it touches him. Lmao funny dude
Walk down my street, and he'll get that many eggs and flour at him,he'll look like a Yorkshire Pudding before he can get in his car
Probably because the guy was so polite afterwards which was unusual. :P
I think the one who egged him was his brother.
He showed maturity and restraint. He'll be a good PM from 2015.
"these eggs are wrong at a time in which interviews are still going on"
Can't believe how well he handled that!
I though the credit crunch was caused by sub prime mortgage lending which was a result of the "CRA" (Community Reinvestment Act)?
He handled that rather well I think.
Waste of an egg...
A valuable egg sacrificed for the sake of ruining Miliband's blazer... think of the opportunities that chick could've achieved... shame...
prescott got hit on the head. That kind of provokes a different reaction in someone but yeah he did handle it very well. What's the point in egging someone who isnt even in power tho, seriously? what a jerk
the guy who smashed the egg had a suit on but the guy who took his jacket off had a brown leather jacket on so......no
I was expecting a second egg.
This says a lot about you as a person
That's Britain's apology culture there for you.
We simply want to keep Labour out because we do not like MASS UNCONTROLLED IMMIGRATION. Doesn't really benefit us does it when we have high unemployment and a housing shortage. Not too hard to understand is it now.
looks like the guy who cracked the egg also helps take the jacket off
Anyone else wanted him to go all Prescott with that egg thrower?
Miliband “Haha! He’s obviously not one of my fans, but yeah keep going!”
Farage “Complete failure. You could’ve spotted that a mile away.”
Ed Miliband is over 6" 2 (189 cm) just like Mitt Romney. He is noticeably taller than David Cameron. Internet Sources such as the Guardian Newspaper put the Labour Leader's height at 5" 11 (181 cm). This is false as he is the tallest of the 3 party Leaders. David Cameron and Nick Clegg both stand at 6" 1 (186 cm). Ed Miliband was unaffected when that guy slapped an egg on his shoulder. He was calm and coped with it. He will make a good PM come 2015.
Now the poor are being penalized for a credit crunch caused by the bankers & the mortgage lenders & their would be middle class borrowers - it is they who should suffer & pay the price for this debacle - not the poor & underpaid. I've said so before - I'll repeat it - Thatchers monetarist policies were not her own, they were borrowed from Enoch Powell - and he expressed serious misgivings about her understanding of them. Profits continue to soar yet the economy still falters - why - rhetorical
You gotta admit though, it was nice of him to not egg his head..
He did deal with that really well, Dont know why someone egged him, they should save the eggs for Nick Griffin.
Ed acted like a true gent and champ. Unlike farage
One isn't enough.
where abouts in Southampton are they?
