A London court has ordered an Iranian immigrant to pay a fine for throwing 90 eggs at the Home Office in London in protest at the governments refusal to grant him asylum.
Feridon Rostami, 32, yelled f***ing criminals as he pelted the Westminster office with £7.29 worth of eggs bought at a liquor store in west London.

The self-described radical atheist, who came to the UK in 2005, claimed he had a right to protest the governments decision and that he believed the rain would eventually wash away the mess.
Rostamis lawyer, Kathleen Mulhern, said: Hes a man who feels highly aggrieved by his history at the Home Office, his choice of protest he believes was perfectly right in order to highlight his grievances.

Our Home Secretary, Theresa May, is mean-spirited, and as thick as two short planks.

This,
strikes me as a latter-day claim, and one not artfully stated.
