I could not resist the story of Education Secretary Ruth Kelly, who was hit by an egg as she left court in Manchester yesterday.

Why was she in court I hear you ask?   Was it the latest State Education reforms perhaps?   Is there a chance she will be locked up for the duration any time soon?

 

Sadly no.  She was attending court to give evidence in the prosecution of a protester for an attack on her in a election rally last year. 

 

His crime?

 

He threw an egg at her.   Tee Hee.
