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.
You can’t eat your cake and have it too
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”
Once you eat the cake, you don’t have the cake anymore. “Have” showing possession, not “to eat”.
You can, through the magic of buying two of them.
*deliciously smooth jazz*
yes, FBI? this guy right here
jokes aside, this is good protesting
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.
