HIS policies are considered a bit of a yolk by many.

So it was really only a matter of time before Nigel Farage joined the list of politicians who have been egged by unhappy members of the public.
The 50-year-old Ukip leader was literally left with egg on his face after a well-aimed shot from a protestor in Nottingham.
Farage was in the city for an impromptu meet-and-greet with voters at the city's Old Market Square ahead of the European elections later this month.
But the walkabout had to be cancelled after he was egged just moments after stepping out of his chauffeur-driven 4x4 Range Rover.
Onlookers said the politician looked "stunned" at the ambush.
The protestor posed for pictures and told the crowd: "I went to Tesco and bought six eggs. I made sure they were British so at least he should be happy with that."
He was arrested on suspicion of assault shortly afterwards.

It was like something out of a film. The Ukip supporters all turned on the protester and bundled him into a corner

As he was taken away by police, the protestor said he was angry that Farage was portrayed as "some kind of cartoon".
He said: "He is a dangerous influence on the principled people in this country.
"He doesn't represent anybody's rights, he doesn't represent anybody's future. He represents the past, which this country can do without."
His comments came as it emerged that Ukip election candidate James Elgar had been kicked out of the party for making racist and sexist comments.
Onlooker Thomas Ryan, 20, said that the protestor "smashed" the egg onto Farage's head.
He said: "I saw Nigel Farage look shocked and egg yolk was all over his face and shoulder. His body guards bundled him back into the car and they sped off.
"It was like something out of a film. The Ukip supporters all turned on the protester and bundled him into a corner."
A Nottingham police spokesman said: "We have arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of assault."

John Prescott was also famously egged in 2001 [PA]

A Ukip spokesman declined to comment on the incident.
Farage can take some comfort in the fact that he is not the first politician to have something thrown at him by a member of the public.
In 2010, David Cameron was egged by a student in Cornwall, and Tony Blair was pelted with condoms filled with purple flour at the House of Commons by members of the campaign group Fathers 4 Justice in 2011.
Peter Mandelson had green custard hurled at him by an anti-Heathrow protestor in 2009, and in 2001 John Prescott was famously egged by a protestor in Wales, who he promptly punched in the face.
George Bush had a shoe flung at him in 2008 during a farewell speech in Iraq by a local journalist who told him: "This is a gift from the Iraqis: this is the farewell kiss, you dog."
George Galloway, Ed Miliband and former BNP leader Nick Griffin have also been egged.
However, today's incident is not the first time Farage has been on the receiving end of some hostile attention.
Earlier this year, Andrew Scott, 37, was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and ordered to pay £140 costs after admitting hitting Farage with a placard as he entered a hotel.
