Ugliness in Britain....

I know politics can get ugly, but this takes the cake....
George Galloway's Respect party last night threatened to sue the Labour MP Oona King after she claimed that its canvassers had told Muslim voters not to vote for her because she is Jewish.

In an increasingly bitter battle for the east London constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow, Ms King told the Evening Standard: "I have been told by several people that members of Respect have told them not to vote for me because I am Jewish."

She was speaking the day after attending a memorial service for Jewish war dead at which eggs and vegetables were thrown at mourners.
I'd like to know more about what happened at this memorial service.
