A REDBRIDGE British National Party (BNP) councillor was pelted with eggs this afternoon alongside his party's leader Nick Griffin.
Hainault Cllr Julian Leppert was with his party for a press conference outside the Houses of Parliament following the BNP's gains in the recent European elections.
Cllr Leppert said: "We were here outside the heart of British democracy and today we've seen the true state of it.
"These people have the cheek to call us fascists. They're nothing but thugs."
He added: "I wasn't targeted specifically, perhaps I am not recognisable or famous enough."
