Woman throws milkshake at Nigel Farage on first day of campaigning | Nigel Farage | The Guardian

Nigel Farage had a milkshake thrown over him on his first day of campaigning in Clacton, the Essex constituency where he is making his eighth attempt to become an MP. The Reform UK leader was coming out of a pub after a rally on Clacton’s beachfront when a young woman drenched him with what appeared to be a banana milkshake from McDonald’s.

The woman, who gave her name as Victoria, told the BBC she had not come to the event to throw the drink but did so because Farage “did not stand” for her. Farage had earlier told crowds of supporters that young people’s minds were being “poisoned” in schools as he promised to stand against what he called “woke nonsense”.

In the UK it's not gonna get you anymore than a slap on the wrist but it also makes the person that receives one look utterly fucking pathetic. Also making these fascists look like utterly pathetic weaklings is one of the better ways to deal with them.

It also cuts short whatever they're doing and makes them fuck off. You want an event with a fascist over with? Milkshake. They need to take a shower now. They're gonna leave.
