Brexit supporter who egged Jeremy Corbyn jailed for 28 days
A Brexit supporter who attacked Jeremy Corbyn with an egg during a mosque visit while yelling “respect the vote” has admitted an assault charge and been sentenced to 28 days’ imprisonment.
John Murphy, hit the Labour leader in the head with the egg during the visit to Finsbury Park mosque and Muslim Welfare House in his north London constituency as part of the annual Visit My Mosque Day initiative.
Corbyn was not hurt in the incident and continued with the tour alongside Diane Abbott, the shadow home secretary. The Labour leader had left the room to wash himself when he realised he had been struck by an egg.
Seems a bit steep. A week would have been enough. The lad could have covered it in work and benefited from a weeks quiet time. Now he is likely to lose his job. Who benefits from that ?
