David Cameron was today visiting the Souith West and was at Cornwall College in Saltash part of a seat, SE Cornwall, which the Conservatives need to be winning to get a majority. When there a student decided to throw an egg at Cameron from behind.
When John Prescott was famously 'egged' by a farmer he immediately lashed out with a punch. As a result his popularity grew.
Such acts of violence shoudl nto be condoned at all, however the hypothetical, but nonetheless interesting question, is what might have happened if Cameron had turned round and lamped the student? Would he have been treated so generously as Prescott was. Or would he have been pilloried? We'll never know the answer, but it could have had the same dramatic impact on the polls as the Leaders' Debate.
