Mr Griffin abandons his press conference outside Parliament

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 lives near Welshpool and was yesterday elected an MEP for the North West of England, was guided to his vehicle by his bodyguards and quickly drove off.
