I don't blame John Prescott for punching the egg thrower in the face. However, it's the double standards that nauseate me.

If any of us on here punched some little scally in the face who had just thrown an egg at us, I'm pretty sure we would be up on assault charges, thanks to the fact that the rights of criminals and yobs now appear to override those of decent, law-abiding citizens. There was a perfect example of this the other day when an ordinary family man who was remonstrating with some yobs was hit on the head with a studded wooden pole and sustained serious injuries. His compensation was cut because he actually swore at the poor little darling before the attack occurred.

Prescott and his cronies have done very little to change this situation, so why should he escape the consequences?
