‘It’s blown up completely out of proportion to the point where it’s kind of embarrassing’‘Egg Boy’ William Connolly has broken his silence, telling The Project he is embarrassed by the amount of attention his egging of Fraser Anning has received. What about charging the guys that held him in a choke hold? At least in the UK that's viewed as unreasonable force. No mention of the premeditation. It’s not usual to carry eggs around in your pocket. He took the egg with him waiting to get heated enough to have the courage to throw it. Saying I waited an hour... Still smacks of smugness to me. The kid should have been charged, with assault, not that I agree with Fraser!!
