"Immigration minister Phil Woolas has become the victim of a pie-throwing protester, angry at his call to limit UK immigration.
A member of the No Borders group threw a cream pie into the minister's face while he was speaking at a debate at Manchester University.
A spokeswoman for the group said Mr Woolas had been "spouting right-wing anti-immigration policies".

Is it necessarily "right-wing" to want to limit immigration? If you think of yourself as left-wing, are you therefore obliged to support unlimited immigration for ever and ever? Does a country like Britain - wealthy, highly developed, post-colonial (and extremely crowded and in recession with rising unemployment) have a moral obligation to the rest of the world to let anyone who wants to live here do so, regardless of the effects on those already living here, whether they were born here or not?
Discuss.
