Colm Lock, a young Conservative British activist, got a poultry surprise while attending a anti-Conservative protesters march through central Manchester, England. Lock has stood as a Conservative candidate for city council in Manchester, which apparently made him a target for the flying egg.

Thousands of Conservatives were in attendance during the party's annual gathering in Manchester.

They'd been advised to not show their party badges while walking he streets, as this would make them a target for any sort of attack that may occur. The anarchist flags are visible throughout the occurrence, and that's when this unknown thrower made his/her move.

This advise wasn't enough for Locke, and you can see the egg explode upon facial impact here.

At least 60,000 people were in attendance at the mostly peaceful gathering, but again, this happened.

When contacted for comment Lock took the high-road and simply turned into a positive for his party in that you, "â€¦wouldnâ€™t catch Tories doing that to Corbyn."

Others were arrested, including one person whoÂ spat at a journalist.

One thing is for sure about this whole thing: Lock looks the part of a British conservative, holding a newspaper with Margaret Thatcher on the front page.

Way to take one (egg) for the team (British Conservatives), Lock.
