Eggs mark the spot - politicians in the firing line

(PA)

When politicians hit the campaign trail, their biggest problem is that the voters can hit right back - as David Cameron found when he was struck by an egg in Cornwall today. Watch the videos and recall the long list of sticky campaigners through the ages.

Egged in the back

Tory leader David Cameron probably doesn't want to hug the hoodie who egged him in the back during a Q and A session at a Cornawll college yesterday. The would-be prime minister, who had the day before met a life size chicken, seemed relatively unruffled by the incident, quipping: "At least I now know which came first - the chicken not the egg."
