£100 is the cost for one egg nowadays so it’s only fair to get a fine the same price
Can’t help but feel that the £100 would be worth it if you managed to egg a King.
You’d make that back in free drinks within a week.
Seems fair enough right?
Maybe, but if Charles had thrown an egg at this guy, or shot him or raped his wife, there would be no legal consequences. The Monarch is literally above the law and can’t be prosecuted.
There really is one law for us and one for them.
Why is no-one talking about how weird his reasoning is? I mean seriously he says that it is somehow insulting that the King visits a poorer area? How is that meant to be “bad taste”? I guess he somehow would prefer it if the King only visited market towns or something?
I just don’t get it.
Good. It’s not a prank. Nor is it harmless.
A few buffoons think it’s a giggle to throw eggs at cyclists, from cars and it’s anything but and they can (anddo) cause significant injuries.
Regardless of what you think of the royal family (or anyone else in public life) throwing eggs is not the answer or solution.
If we know where the king is, and throw an egg in that direction, then we can all be Spartacus.
“towards”?
*I throw an egg in your general direction…*
The egg he chucked damned near cost as much as the fine.
That’s not a bad cost per throw. I’d have thought it would be way more to egg the monarch. Or does the cost go up depending upon close you are to hitting them?
Disgusting. Showing displeasure for such an archaic and anti-humanistic institution like the monarchy should ve a basic right.
He should be in prison for disrespecting and endangering the life of our beloved Sovereign
5 years minimum.
This guy should start a go fund me but limit donations to 1p just to show that 10, 000 people agree with him
Can’t you get punished for throwing eggs at normal people?
I went to the London Dungeon when I was a kid, and in one bit they had a list of wacky, antiquated crimes that used to be punishable by extreme measures. Like walking backwards on the King’s highway, or shouting at a sheep in the marketplace on a Thursday. “Throwing an egg at the King” feels like something you’d see on that list.
