Labour leader Ed Miliband egged on visit to Southampton
9:49am Saturday 5th May 2012 in Southampton
By Jon Reeve, Education Reporter
Labour leader Ed Miliband after being egged
HE came to celebrate a cracking election win which had left Labour’s Tory opponents in Southampton with egg on their faces.
And Ed Miliband was last night insisting the yolk was on the Conservatives, even after being egged after addressing triumphant supporters in Shirley High Street.
The Labour Party leader was in Southampton just hours after his party dramatically swept back into power in the city.
He told assembled supporters the result proved their party is back on track in southern England after years in the local government wilderness.
But as the senior politician was giving media interviews after his public address, he was approached by a man in a black hat who firmly planted his hand on his right shoulder with a telltale splat.
As the man quickly ran off down the road, a bemused Mr Miliband looked down to see bright yellow yolk dripping down his suit.
An aide swiftly intervened to take off the jacket and the Leader of the Opposition laughed it off before continuing his interview in shirt and tie.
Shortly afterwards, he ended his talk and immediately headed to a waiting car.
But the 42-year-old was keen to remain light-hearted about the incident, and last night posted on his Twitter site: “For those wondering about egg’s origins, fairly sure it wasn’t free range, but nothing can take away from cracking result in Southampton.”
Speaking before the egg attack, Mr Miliband had described Cllr Richard Williams as a “fantastic” leader of Southampton's Labour Party. He pledged to repay the voters’ trust by working on the issues that matter most to people: jobs, housing and public services.
Mr Miliband said: “The reason why we won in Southampton is because we have been running a campaign about people's priorities.
“A campaign which Richard has led around jobs, around housing, around public services and around the things that matter to people.
“Here in Southampton, it's a rejection of the economic failure of this Government and the unfairness of this Government.
“People are understanding Labour understands the struggles you are going through. Labour is back in the south of England. Labour will keep these promises.”
Cllr Williams said he was delighted his party leader had chosen the city to celebrate Labour’s local election gains.
He said: “He’s been remarkably positive throughout the campaign, and it’s not just been his physical presence here. What he wants to do with the party is connect with people, and that’s what we’re trying to do down here, and that’s how we will make a difference.”

Ian Woodland made one big error in supporting Labour in every ward, he should of help at lest one TUSC to get into the Council chambers so he would have at lest one friendly face that would put up a fight when Labour starts to make the cuts.

But I sympathise with Millband, who basically has become victim of crime. Thankfully it was only an egg, but could have been somebody wearing explosive vest.
.
Considering our nations is on the hit list of many obnoxious characters, why the Leader of Opposition was not properly protected?
.
As the person who did this simply escaped, says neither much about Hampshire Police Authority of which a NuLabour councillor is the Chair, nor all the members of NuLabour who were hanging around Milliband at the time and competing with each other for getting their rightwing faces in the picture
.
If all the NuLabour councillors who were with their right wing leader at the time could not even be bothered to get hold of the person who attacked their leader whom they pretend to worship, how can we the ordinary people expect them to do anything meaningful to save our services which will now be under serious attack same way as they were under Smith led Tories.

Can you tell us all in which country there is a party, that meets your ideals, that is in government and was elected by a democratic, one person - one vote method.
How long have they been in power, and when did they hold the last election.
I am all for perfection, but I have yet to see it in any politician or political party, which is why I am keen to know about your perfect party.

For Southy and Paramajit to continue to hammer the only electable party that has any conscience in decisions affecting the poorest and most vulnerable of our society is ridiculous.
Milliband was elected the leader of the Labour Party by the Trade Unions they support!
Linesman is spot on, whether it be Capitalist, Socialist or Communist, the perfect party has never existed and is Paramajit and Southy's pipe dream.

I did try a bit of irony there, I'll try to make it clearer next time. The egg would of been better on his head and you right so right, and what I was trying to say, is if you thought the Tories were bad wait till all services in Southampton are restored and your Council tax bills are the highest in the Country. Labour have brought the Country to its knees, now watch Labour bring Southampton to its knees.

You are well off as you deserve to be, and if you don't like it , try working a bit harder and stop expecting hard working people like myself to hand over even more of my earnings on some false pretext of "fairness". Every penny I have I earned myself, and I pay more tax than you though I use less of the welfare state than you. Now man up and support labour if you are a socialist or are you too much of coward even to do that?

Labour won Southampton because people thought they had the best policies, just like in 2008 they voted for the Conservatives.
Boris won London because people thought he had the best policies.
That's democracy in action.

The Trade Unions only had a small number that voted for the Labour leadership and even then you need to belong to the Labour Party to be able to vote for the Leadership of the Labour Party.
true Communist are far left wing which is only a subsection of Socialism, there is only 2 Capitalism and Socialism but both have subsections, socialism can only really be applied by the Socialist for it to work right, not by the Capitalist, when Capitalist apply Socialism its only becomes another form of Capitalism aka Socialism for the wealthy aka Stalism

I think it is creditable that these Trotskys have given up infiltrating Labour and have formed their own TUSC party and I wish them the success they deserve.
I seem to recall the Screamimg Lord Sutch's, Monster Raving Looney Party (MRLP) enjoyed a higher turnout than TUSC!
The only way to oust egotist, News of the World supporter, Cameron, the evil Osborne and cowardly Clegg, from running and ruining this Country is to vote Labour.
The much maligned Gordon Brown saved us from a financial melt down that would have made the Wall Street crash look like a picnic.
His predecessors implemented the greatest social revolution, for the benefit of the working class, this Country has ever known.
If you are against this unholy Con/Lib coalition then the only way to end it is by voting LABOUR, not to waste your vote on Green, TUSC, MRLP or whatever other fanciful organisations put themselves up for election.

They do produce Whiskey, but what else? Tourism.
American Navy at Holy Loch?
The Scottish government does not fund the Scottish regiments in the Army, nor do they fund the Navy (submarines and ancilliaries) at Faslane. Who picks up the tab for the RAF at Lossiemouth?
Similar thing with Wales. What do they produce? Male voice choirs and Tom Jones? The coal mines are closed, but that cannot be blamed on NuLabour!
I remain in that party because, if I were not, I would have no chance to influence it. You appear to be in your own party, that consists of you and Southy. Unwilling to come to terms with change, and wanting to fight the battles that Socialism won for us a century ago, and cannot accept that we are now in the second millenium.
Have you ever wondered why so few can identify with your political ideals? If you were in the Army, and marching on parade, you would be the one who was out of step, but maintaining that it was not you, but all the others that were.

If Gordon Brown had not taken the action that he did by bailing out banks, building societies and councils who had invested all their money in Icelandic banks, we would have been asking the Greeks for a loan!
When he was taking this decisive action, what alternative action did Cameron and Clegg proposed?
They didn't. They had not got a clue, and that is the way things have been since they took office.

The Labour Party was all but destroyed by the Trotsky infiltrators in the 1980's making it unelectable and allowing Thatcher to destroy the coal mining industry and privatise gas, water,rail and electricity enabling the big financial institutions to control our essential industries.
I think it is creditable that these Trotskys have given up infiltrating Labour and have formed their own TUSC party and I wish them the success they deserve.
I seem to recall the Screamimg Lord Sutch's, Monster Raving Looney Party (MRLP) enjoyed a higher turnout than TUSC!
The only way to oust egotist, News of the World supporter, Cameron, the evil Osborne and cowardly Clegg, from running and ruining this Country is to vote Labour.
The much maligned Gordon Brown saved us from a financial melt down that would have made the Wall Street crash look like a picnic.
His predecessors implemented the greatest social revolution, for the benefit of the working class, this Country has ever known.
If you are against this unholy Con/Lib coalition then the only way to end it is by voting LABOUR, not to waste your vote on Green, TUSC, MRLP or whatever other fanciful organisations put themselves up for election.
We have shown in Southampton it can be done, now let's do it at the General Election!!
An now that there is no Left in Labour, Labour like the Torys have no attachment to the ordinary people and are just as far remove from the streets as the Torys.
It as all ways been the Left wing Element that had a connection to people on the streets, because they was the ones doing the stalls every where, talking to people in the work place, in cafes and bars.
And yes we do need a general election now and we do need Labour back in power, just to prove to people when they start the cuts they are no different from the Tory party. all for them selfs and no one else.
Come in out of the rain Southy.
This is putting the local people first and there needs, and got what they wanted for there people, Liverpool Council back then beat the Thatcher Government even lo it cost them there jobs, they though about the people and not in them selfs.
This is some thing Nu-Labour will not do they put them selfs before the People just like the Torys do.

When the Labour Party was formed in 1900 we won seats immediately and had over 40 MPs within a few years.
There have been a series of far left fringe parties over many decades which have never made any progress. Your idea that people are suddenly going to see the light and support another fringe ultra left trotskyist group is pie in the sky. Trotsky was killed in 1940 and we have been waiting over 70 years for them to take power.

"I did not agree to do any thing, I said if we give what are you willing to give"
And knowing that they would not give any thing in return before they even answered the Question, Labour like the Tory's only want to take and they do not care who they take from as long they do not have to give

The Labour Party did not win any thing in the first 30 years, started in the 1800's not 1900's, they did not win any thing till all left wing groups with some right wing groups united under the one banner, the Humble beginning of the Labour Party started in 1834, 1838 Working Men's Association formed later to become the Independent Labour Party formed in Bradford 1898 later to be called the Labour Party, when the ILP joined the Communist known as the Labour Party.

You have to question why he chose Shirley and how good the Security was.
We only knew about the visit on Thursday night. He obviously came down to Southampton because of the great success of the Labour Party locally.
When is your leader coming down to celebrate TUSC's success in reaching more than double figures.
You obviously thought that without Labour standing in Redbridge you would win, which is why you asked them not to stand, they refused your request and won anyway plus the seats in other wards.
AQnd that is the fact "to take but not give"

TEBOURBA wrote:No Tebourba it was because the Right wing inside Labour became to strong and would not listen to people it mattered the right wing in Labour wanted it there way and no other way, It was those on the left that listen to the ordinary people on the streets then pass on to the main body of Labour what people was thinking and saying and what they wanted.
The Labour Party was all but destroyed by the Trotsky infiltrators in the 1980's making it unelectable and allowing Thatcher to destroy the coal mining industry and privatise gas, water,rail and electricity enabling the big financial institutions to control our essential industries.
I think it is creditable that these Trotskys have given up infiltrating Labour and have formed their own TUSC party and I wish them the success they deserve.
I seem to recall the Screamimg Lord Sutch's, Monster Raving Looney Party (MRLP) enjoyed a higher turnout than TUSC!
The only way to oust egotist, News of the World supporter, Cameron, the evil Osborne and cowardly Clegg, from running and ruining this Country is to vote Labour.
The much maligned Gordon Brown saved us from a financial melt down that would have made the Wall Street crash look like a picnic.
His predecessors implemented the greatest social revolution, for the benefit of the working class, this Country has ever known.
If you are against this unholy Con/Lib coalition then the only way to end it is by voting LABOUR, not to waste your vote on Green, TUSC, MRLP or whatever other fanciful organisations put themselves up for election.
We have shown in Southampton it can be done, now let's do it at the General Election!!
An now that there is no Left in Labour, Labour like the Torys have no attachment to the ordinary people and are just as far remove from the streets as the Torys.
It as all ways been the Left wing Element that had a connection to people on the streets, because they was the ones doing the stalls every where, talking to people in the work place, in cafes and bars.
And yes we do need a general election now and we do need Labour back in power, just to prove to people when they start the cuts they are no different from the Tory party. all for them selfs and no one else.
Come in out of the rain Southy.
This is putting the local people first and there needs, and got what they wanted for there people, Liverpool Council back then beat the Thatcher Government even lo it cost them there jobs, they though about the people and not in them selfs.
This is some thing Nu-Labour will not do they put them selfs before the People just like the Torys do.
What Hatton plus others done for Liverpool was for it people to benefit and never for their selfs, he got what the city needed at a cost to his political career,
You will never find that happening in a capitalist system its the other way round, they look after them selfs and close friends and sod what the people need.
They are out of touch as well.
You only see the main partys on the street when elections come round, but you see us on the streets talking and listening to people all yrat round.
Its Labour is like Cameron and Clegg, they got rid of the only people that had conections to the people on the streets and why Labour is moving more and more Right wing.

Yes it may surprise you that I have close friends whose political views I may not share and they do not share mine, but we have many other interest like motor sports in common, and we enjoy each others company because unlike you they do not talk from their back side
Paramjit Bahia wrote:You just spout a load of meaningless tripe and dogma. You don't address the real world because you aren't capable, so you attack a simplified distorted version you have made up. Millband is clearly NOT a conservative despite what you say, but he is not the kind of extreme self pitying envious class-obsessed berk who wants well off people to pay for everything that lazy unintelligent people like yourself can't be bothered to earn for yourselves. You are well off as you deserve to be, and if you don't like it , try working a bit harder and stop expecting hard working people like myself to hand over even more of my earnings on some false pretext of "fairness". Every penny I have I earned myself, and I pay more tax than you though I use less of the welfare state than you. Now man up and support labour if you are a socialist or are you too much of coward even to do that?
As a socialist I do not support NuLabour, or its closet Conservative leader Milliband
.
But I sympathise with Millband, who basically has become victim of crime. Thankfully it was only an egg, but could have been somebody wearing explosive vest.
.
Considering our nations is on the hit list of many obnoxious characters, why the Leader of Opposition was not properly protected?
.
As the person who did this simply escaped, says neither much about Hampshire Police Authority of which a NuLabour councillor is the Chair, nor all the members of NuLabour who were hanging around Milliband at the time and competing with each other for getting their rightwing faces in the picture
.
If all the NuLabour councillors who were with their right wing leader at the time could not even be bothered to get hold of the person who attacked their leader whom they pretend to worship, how can we the ordinary people expect them to do anything meaningful to save our services which will now be under serious attack same way as they were under Smith led Tories.
.
I had to promise my mate’s wife that for once I will do away with usual practise and tell you that even for a Tory you are a twit. Intelligent Conservatives with some honour find likes of you embarrassment because you are a big headed bigot or stuck up snob. Apparently Texans describe people like you ‘Man with big hat but no cattle’!
.
It does not give me any pleasure to tell you, whose mother tonge probably is English, unlike mine, to learn to read and understand English language properly
.
Words I used are “closet Conservative”. Not “a Conservative”. Obviously a big difference, but not for person like you who simply wants to mislead people. My Tory contacts tell me that it is not an honourable thing to do
.
You seem to think highly of Ed Milliband, but then do not support him. Its hypocrisy
.
You have boasted about the size of your tax bill. I do not see why anybody should other than you should be interested in that. I certainly am not. If you are earning more than me and many others I will say good luck to you provided it is not out of immorality or crime. Hope you and your family enjoy your large income. Most of us are not obsessed with competing with others, so modest lifestyle saves us from stress, which many with attitude like yours tend to suffer
.
If you are against welfare state, it is your right to campaign against it. I am one of those who believes in humanity and compassion, so if I have to pay tax which may help somebody in need I do not moan like you
.
You appear to be so stupid or blinkered that you are assuming a lot about me and people like me, without knowing that I also work, even when I’d lost my job in 80’s I used to do voluntary unpaid work helping others, when I found two contributors and members of Tory Party living in Chilworth who were running their own businesses, they were not only abusing services of volunteers like me but were also claiming various benefits. But being blinkered Tory supporter you and others like you won’t ever talk about those kinds. Nor about super rich multinational companies who probably are pocketing millions in subsidies, because some odd single mother or some disabled person can be easy target
.
Hope you will be enjoying bank holiday on your yacht, and won’t be requiring RNLI volunteers help to rescue you.
