Back in August we covered speculation on whether Nick Clegg’s blue paint attack was carried out by a former Lib Dem activist. today, that’s confirmed. According to the BBC:
A former Liberal Democrat activist has admitted splattering Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg with blue paint.
Stuart Rodger threw an egg containing the liquid as Mr Clegg made a visit to Glasgow to meet party representatives last August.
The politics student later declared that Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg had “deserved it”.
He was fined £200 at Glasgow Sheriff Court after admitting a breach of the peace.
