France’s far-right leader hit by egg, days after flour attack
Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, was hit on the head with an egg Saturday, just days after another incident in which a protester threw flour at him.
Bardella was at an event in Moissac, southwest France, to promote his latest book when a man broke the egg on his head.
The suspected attacker, a 74-year-old man, was arrested and taken into custody for violence against a public official, prosecutor Montauban Bruno Sauvage told AFP.

Next is milk, then sugar, then you beat him thoroughly and put him in the oven.
Custard's last stand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_cake or as French call it, quarte quarts
Quatre quarts. Or "four quarters".
And this, is already too much maths for Bardella
Add in some stale bread, and then forget all about him for some 'pain perdu'.
America: throw a whole pre-made sandwich at a cop
France: individually throw every ingredient to make every part of a sandwich from scratch
I really hope they make a Croque Monsieur with this pig.
Escroc Monsieur
I was thinking a Monte Cristo, because the hot oil would be satisfying. But I guess they’re essentially the same thing.
Flour, egg. It’s time for a pie
It’s France so it’s definitely cake
Theres a pain joke in there somewhere
Prediction
Last time someone in France let people eat cake, it didn't go too well for them.
Brioche?
No, they are still missing the butter and sugar.
Give it time. Its a slow recipe, but I trust the French to follow through if its a protest.
dont forget the salt.
No, the next step is panko/breadcrumbs.
And after three strikes, you dunk him in hot oil.
To be fair I never imagined that "eat the rich" (or in this case, eat the Reich) would turn out Kentucky Fried, but I'm all for it.
If he was Italian, pasta
You get pie in the sky when you die.
Someone get him with some butter and sugar and see if he turns into a racist cake
Nope! Sorry. Still just a wet sack of shit.
I guess next would be milk.
You can't eat your cake and have it too
You can, through the magic of buying two of them.
*deliciously smooth jazz*
But how would one wash the dish? Surely not with a dishwasher pod?
yes, FBI? this guy right here
jokes aside, this is good protesting
Thank you for getting the idiom right. To all of the folks who think you can't have your cake and eat it too, you most certainly can. You have to "have" it before you can "eat" it. But you most definitely can't eat your cake and then still have it, which is the meaning of the idiom and the correct way to say it.
I've never fully understood this phrase because don't you have a cake by eating it?
"what did you eat last night?" "I had a cake instead of dinner"
Once you eat the cake, you don't have the cake anymore. "Have" showing possession, not "to eat".
"I have a cake (in my possession)" as opposed to "I'm having / I had a cake (for a meal)". Perhaps the less ambiguous phrasing would be "...and keep it too" – the nuance is probably academic at this point – but proverbs tend to be stubborn.
I've heard of slow cooking, but this is next level stuff.
So just milk and sugar missing and he turns into a cake?
Some Morton’s and a little milk and we can call it salt and batter-y. Just deserts, i say.
Well done.
If the next encounter is breadcrumbs, this schnitzel is ready for the fryer.
I think you need to beat the pork vigorously first, to tenderize the meat, you know
Let them eat cake
" Let them eat cake " ❌
"Make them into cake" ✅
I never knew Eat The Rich is preceded by a flavouring stage. Great addition!
Just like everybody else, I was looking for a cake joke but you nailed it.
The 74 year-old is a hero and remembers what his parents said about the fucking Nazis and Vichy French.
I'm sorry but this is fucking hilarious
I'm desperate to know what will be next. Jam? Chocolate spread? Cream?
clearly they are trying to turn him into a cake so next will probably be the butter
I hope every political argument devolves into food being thrown eventually.
Pelt him with grapes: not big enough to do much damage, but in the right quantities, it'll get the point across
The point: "stop wine-ing"?
Just going down the ingredients list until they toss him in an oven to bake until golden brown.
Milk and sugar next week.
Free Crepes.
Or cake
nods or cake.
The Marsha P. Johnson method suggests that a brick is more effective at creating change.
Make fascists scared again.
This is the only way
Operation dessert storm
74 year old badass.
they're trying to get him breaded lol
Demain du lait et on a de la ….. Pâte à crêpes !!! 🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞
It’s well pasta time….
They're French, they're making a soufflé
I can't understand if I should praise aiming skills or if the egg was cracked up close and personal. Tried to check in the article and saw what Bardella made of it:
For fuck's sake, he just barely survived an assassination no less
When they get all melodramatic about flour, eggs, sandwiches being tossed at them, don't they realize how pathetic they sound acting like these acts are in and of themselves just horrible violance?
Now whisk.
Just need sugar and we gotta cake to let us eat!
Bricks are usually more effective.
Complete the brunch with bacon and sausages.
milk, sugar, butter, and then chocolate chips or chunks. icing, whip cream, fruit chunks.
Get some sugar in the mix, and boy... you got yourself a cake going.
A crêpe, rather.
Any Aussies out there remember egg boy?
What a legend.
Also thinking about Bush and the Iraqi shoe
What a crepe week.
Only if someone throws some milk at him next.
Whoa, the Eat The Rich people are serious.
Gotta make them edible enough first. Need some seasoning.
If they keep talking with all their hot air and raise the temp to about 175C ... they could bake themselves into a cake
"Violence", gotta love the special treatment government gives the rich. Noones getting arrested if you reverse the roles
I mean, hitting someone with an object, whether solid or fragile, is violence. Mild violende is still violence. Justified violence is still violence.
It should be up to a court to decide the severity of the assault and whether it warrants punitive action. In a fair and just society at least.
And in a fair and just society, the decision should be a reprimand because judicial encouragement of violence is a bad idea, but no further action.
Is it a tradition to throw eggs or flour at politicians in France? If so, it is a good tradition.
I think people have been throwing produce for a long time in general. But there's a list of stuff thrown at politicians on wiki

I'm partial to the Australian "egg boy" because a ska band wrote a song about it

With the price of produce?
US prices are laughable right now. With the price of one egg you could buy a dozen in France.
Not if you let right wingers take over!
Oh, I'd be long dead before right winger dismantle our democracy. Either of old age or for resisting their takeover.
I'm not so sure.. We had a shortage on eggs recently (maybe still ongoing). I bought 12 eggs for 3.94€ last week.
I’ve heard rumors that bricks work better than eggs
Bricks create martyrs and increase the vote share of the party. Ridicule doesn't particularly help, but doesn't hurt either.
Ridicule definitely helps against the far right, they don't have a real ideology. Make their leader look weak and they'll quiet down
I would like to think so, but I haven't seen data to support it.
We should do some A/B testing to confirm your first statement
Well, Charlie Kirk is STILL on the front page of fox news...
what about an OSTRICH egg, they do weigh 5lbs each.
I'm appalled at all these people who condone throwing flour and eggs at politicians. Everyone knows that the egg goes first, because it helps the flour stick.
“Pour some sugar on me”
Ok, now tar and feathers.
it's time for digested food
They're on a roll!
Um... wouldn't it be funny if someone tried doing that with some dogshit next lol
Just the breadcrumbs to go! lmao
Make him into a baguette
By French law, bread can only contain flour, yeast, salt, and water. Sadly, he must be cake.
At least he can make pancakes
Waiting for the milk
Make the next one a bullet
Why not throw a bullet
This one’s probably an american.
All those guns and they're still throwing their projectiles
Not possible, Americans only shoot Nazis they cannot hire. But that one is already on the same payroll so it's all fine
