    Nigel Farage’s fear of being the next target is a stark reminder of the dangers of political violence. The ‘toss a milkshake at Nigel Farage’ game at a Pride Festival is not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.

    Seriously? They were throwing milkshakes at a cardboard cutout of him. Seems pretty mild. You’d have to slide a fair way down the not-so-slippery slope to even get to throwing a milkshake at the real frog-faced twat, let alone trying to actually harm him.

      The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a milkshake is a good guy with a milkshake.

        That’s why I always open-carry a milkshake with me at all times

      But also - he has dedicated his entire career to openly harming others, not only marginalised people, but our entire society, for his own personal gain. If he can’t take the fucking harmless milkshake to the fucking face (or, honestly, any consequences to his very deliberate actions), maybe he should stop actively making the lives of the people in this country worse, and fuck off back to the bog he crawled out of. ¯\(ツ)

      Yeah, but Britain has been burning a guy in effigy once a year for centuries. Imagine if ‘Nigel Farage Day’ took over for ‘Guy Fawkes Day’ and instead of bonfires, you had thrown milkshakes everywhere! Imagine the mess! The smell! Britain can’t handle such things!
