The Speech

They had gathered to hear him talk, there were thousands of them.
He came out and headed towards the stage. There was some applause, but it was mostly booing and jeering.
He smiled and waved, seemingly unaware of the hostility.
The first object - what looked like a bloated orange - struck him on the cheek and there was a cheer.
The floodgates opened and all manner of items were hurled at him. Within seconds he was buried beneath a pile of rotten fruit, shoes and all manner of debris.
The cheers grew louder.
