BNP leader Nick Griffin has been pelted with eggs and forced to abandon a press conference outside Parliament.
About 200 protesters disrupted the event, which follows the British National Party winning its first two seats in the European Parliament.

Ironically the BNP may be more socialist in many areas

It wouldn't be difficult, would it. They would probably get the trains running on time too.

BNP leader Nick Griffin had to abandon a press conference outside the Houses of Parliament today after protesters barracked him and threw eggs.
Shouting "off our streets Nazi scum", the demonstrators chased him down the street to his car.
Mr Griffin, who was yesterday elected an MEP for the North West of England, was guided to his vehicle by his bodyguards and quickly drove off.
Mr Griffin arrived for the press conference on College Green in front of Parliament with fellow newly-elected BNP MEP Andrew Brons just after 2.30pm.
Mr Griffin started by attacking articles from today's newspapers that criticised him and his party.
He had only been speaking for a few minutes when the protesters appeared, chanting and waving banners reading: "Stop the fascist BNP."
Eggs were thrown at Mr Griffin and his bodyguards bundled him away through the crowd.
The demonstrators kicked and hit his car with their placards before cheering as he drove off.
Protest organiser Weyman Bennett, national secretary of Unite Against Fascism, said he believed it was important to stand up to the BNP.
