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.

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'.

No, they are still missing the butter and sugar.

No, the next step is panko/breadcrumbs.
And after three strikes, you dunk him in hot oil.

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.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 254d
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"
EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 254d
Once you eat the cake, you don't have the cake anymore. "Have" showing possession, not "to eat".
luciferofastora@feddit.org · 3 pts · 254d
"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.

"Violence", gotta love the special treatment government gives the rich. Noones getting arrested if you reverse the roles
luciferofastora@feddit.org · 1 pts · 254d
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.

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.
