Here's *!*! in your eye!

A dirty protest pensioner remains defiant after tipping human excrement on the heads of a locksmith and bailiff.

The unfortunate pair arrived at the home of Halifax resident John Skelton to evict him following non-payment of council tax. The old boy had been saving his own waste for a few days in anticipation of such a visit and opened a window when they knocked on the door.

The unlucky locksmith looked up, took the mess full in the face and, not surprisingly, was promptly sick.

Mr Skelton was arrested and charged with assault, but remains unapologetic for both the non-payment and the dirty protest, blaming the council's neglect for his late wife's early demise.
