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”.

I strongly believe/hope that most people want to do this but have the same type of invisible forcefield that keeps us from running of a cliff holding us (because me included) back

If she wasn't a conventionally attractive white woman she would have been immediately tackled to the ground like egg boy.

I thought the bald guy next to Farage was Fetterman and she was trying to scare him into another heart attack lol

Why can’t [redacted]

It’s ok OP I’ll say it.

Why can’t every politician on the planet who is not a socialist get milkshaked every day for the rest of their lives until they stop being evil?

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah. It should be a non-dairy liquid

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I know of many non-dairy liquids with very low pH levels

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Something extremely satisfying about the milkshake mid flight and his gormless face not reacting. It's like a slow mo punch from a Rocky Movie

holy shit that photo of her going down the stairs to applause is chefs-kiss, she looks fucking great, she's obviously pleased as hell with her anti-fascist direct action, if there were a photo of me that looked like that I'd carry it around in my wallet and show it to everyone I met

@WhyEssEff@hexbear.net can you emote it plz

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

holy shit that photo of her going down the stairs

At first only posted the glob of 3 photos. Then I scrolled down the Bluesky thread and I saw the original of her. I realized that if I cropped that photo to be focused on her and the guy clapping - it was perfect.

I remember Owen Jones (left wing talking head who's sort of adjacent to Novara media) saying it was a good thing on twitter yesterday and then conservatives going "so was it a good thing when a neo Nazi attacked you and tried to kill you by slamming your head into the pavement? smuglord" in his replies as if they're remotely the same thing
