Actually, there’s a GDPR exemption for parliamentary privilege, so as long as he deals with every complaint by reading it out loud during a parliamentary session, he should be absolutely fine.
Game, set and match Watson.

Gonna say that’s not how it works (unless this is a wolfcastle, in which case you have my consent to process my data for the purposes of this joke)
thinking about that laura k tweet again, it’s quite clever really. she’s under no obligation to explain what she meant by “different scale”, and people can project onto it what they want. even an Official Guardian Journalist can’t get a response from her.

Corbyn got egged
Sky News’ chief political correspondent Jon Craig reports that Mr Corbyn was unhurt by the egg, which was pressed down on his head rather than thrown. “While he was here in an upstairs room, a protester - a pro-Brexit protester we understand, according to eyewitnesses - placed an egg on his head.”

And it happened whilst Corbyn visited a Muslim Welfare Centre. Pro-Brexit protestors are such fucking weirdos
Big J McD wearing a power red jumper, shirt tie combo here Definitely doesnt have any trousers on
Hope he’s wearing his hammer and sickle y fronts tho
placed an egg on his head
I’m picturing a Vic and Bob sort of thing going on where an egg was delicately balanced on his head.
Not quite like that:
Good to see lots of journalists posting jokey takes on it all day though.
all of this is diseased:
edit: no you know what cancel it all im done with politics twitter for a while
I think the most depressing thing is I don’t really imagine Labour’s issues with Antisemitism will even mean much in elections. I feel like so much of the UK public are very apathetic about racism. People almost always vote based on their personal situation don’t they? They go in to vote and they’re not thinking, “That Synagogue was burned, I’d better not vote for Labour,” they’re just wondering who’s going to improve their lives the most.
I got 99 problems and A Smith ain’t one?
I expect a lot of these people would be genuinely happy to see Corbyn murdered.
I deactivated my account. Was just doing me in.
Is there a reason why Corbyn getting egged is worse than when Prescott, Cameron and others did? I feel sad cos like, it’s uncle jezza! But I feel like a hypocrite because I definitely laughed when it happened to politicians I didn’t like.
This is assuming it was just an egging and not a more violent assault
Judging by the tweet up there from Jessica Elgot it does sound like it could have been more of an assault than an egging, I imagine we’ll hear more in due course
Yeah feel like if it was just an egging it’s similar but if it was a violent assault obviously that’s not good, and it does sound like it was actually violent.
That said, when it happened to other politicians I suppose the mood wasn’t as violent in politics? Certainly when it happened to Prescott we were in the middle of mild-mannered centrism so it’s easy to see it as freedom of expression rather than fascism?
