No suprise that they have decided not to prosecute Fatty 2 Jags for punching the guy who threw an egg at him. They mumbled something about "self defence" blah blah blah. I'd like to see an ordinary member of the public getting away with lumping someone when an egg is thrown at them.

Exactly the same reason that Jack "Ton Up" Straw now has his own misiterial touring car for the morning commute.
One rule for us, another for them.
Still, now you can do what you want to two jabs and not worry about being prosecuted.
Where's the spit roaster?

Didn't the Welsh Police spend something like GBP400K "investigating" this alledged "offence" before (unsuccessfully) passing it on to the CPS (after FIVE months!!).

Not only a biased outcome, but also an obscene waste of public money

I think its right hes not been prosecuted - id have done the same thing in his place - why should he have to put up with people assulting him - self defence - here here!!

The guy he thumped had a dreadful mullet so he deserved to be bashed!

Much rather he was Prime Minister Than "The man from C&A".
Yes he was right to give him a slap.
We need more MP's like him.

Quite frankly if someone belted me on the head with an egg, I would do something to dissuade him from repeating the act.

Although I would do the same as Prescott if someone threw an egg at me, I'm not a senior politician that is in the public eye and meant to set an example of good behaviour and restraint to the rest of us.

As for spending £400k on an investigation on an event filmed from just about every angle - a criminal waste of public funds. What the hell needed "investigating"?
