it’s hard to care because he’s such a horrible person.
Yeah… He’s an silly boo, but I don’t like this new trend of ‘throw things at people I disagree with’…
new trend?
“The concept of throwing food, in general, at political leaders has an even longer history: the earliest recorded incident took place in 63 AD, when Roman governor Vespasian was hit with turnips”

Young whippersnappers don’t know what it was like back in the BC days.
It’s seen a resurgence lately. Seemingly among people who would regard themselves as progressives. I don’t see anything particularly progressive about physically attacking anyone over their political views – even personages such as Farage and Tommy Robinson, even an attack as seemingly trivial as throwing a milkshake. It’s a start of a slippery slope.
“Lately” as in the following eggings?
Anti austerity protests, Machester 2015
NP leader Nick Griffin, 2009
Arnold Schwarzenegger, 2003
Deputy prime minister John Prescott, 2001
It’s part of political protest. Has been fairly regularly for a long long time.
No, lately as in three times in the past month (the two above, and your man in NZ).
Just because it has been happening for a long time does not make it any less wrong.
Hardly new…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_shoeing_incident
you only dislike him because you’re told to dislike him.
I like him and I’d like to see a Farage here in Ireland
you only think you’d like that because youve been told to think you’d like to see that
You only like him because you were told to like him.
Do you see how that doesn’t work?
I like him too.
You have one… kind of. Herman Irexit Kelly is Nigel’s secretary, catering to his every whim.
“Whisked away” ?
Good one !
F.
My milkshake brings all the boys to Farage…..
lol Bertie
haha
Excellent
I hate Farage, but this poopy-poop is so childish. It makes the thrower look like a petulant spoiled brat, and makes Farage look like a man of quiet dignity soldiering on for the sake of the truth.
No, he didn’t look dignified. He said it was a “complete failure” that he “could see coming a mile off” even though he is absolutely drenched with milkshake. He looks like a delusional fool which he is.
I think maybe he was scolding his security?
“a man of quiet dignity soldiering on for the sake of the truth”
Ah, hahahaha hahahaha hahaha! Brilliant. You’re gas.
*Whoosh*
Quite. How dairy!
milkshake or ollie cromwell’s over excitement?

I laughed heartily and then mused that this isn’t really what should be part of reasoned political debate
…and then i remembered that Farage said he’d pick up a rifle if Brexit wasn’t delivered
so fupp him.
I suppose one gets the respect one deserves.
If you watch both videos you get to see the other being filmed :-)
Farage tweeted after the incident:
Sadly some remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible.
Those truly radicalised would hurl Slush Puppies…. trained by groups like Ices
That’s lactose intolerence, that is.
Nigel Fromage : )
I’ve just watched this again and realised that it will never get old :-)
