Mr Farage also spoke with shoppers and while standing by a market stall selling eggs, joked that after being covered in a milkshake last week he did not want eggs to be the next thing thrown at him.
Someone ready the eggs
freeze the egg first and pelt it as hard as possible
Having been hit in the eye with a frozen egg, I can’t condone this as it’s like throwing a rock at someone and it really hurts. An unfrozen one is safer and far messier, which makes it funnier.
Dude’s a far-right lunatic and has some weirdly kind thoughts about Nazis.
Frozen egg seems just fine.
Oh no, you mean he could get injured? God that is so sad 🥺

Rotten ones would be better. It’s damn hard to get that smell out.
“I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country,” he wrote about the incident.
Assumes that:
- He is The Country
- Only left wingers hate him
If there really was a “left wing mob” out to get him, I think he would be getting attacked with more than one food item every other day.
He loves this. He loves to play the victim. The underdog. Despite being a being a real life racist rich toff caricature.
If what he loves is a hurled brick, he’s welcome to as many as he’d like.
Frankly I have no patience for ‘that’s just want they want!’ as a kneejerk response to any backlash against diet Nazis. They’ll claim victory no matter what happens. That’s part of what makes the fascists. The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
If this pattern means the only headlines about this asshole go ‘asshole hit by [object]’ - great. Beats reporting any of the garbage flying from his face.
I think we need to keep being better than them. Not get dragged into the mud with them.
Really? I think you should punch Nazis in the fucking face.
How’d we solve the previous round of Nazis? Polite patience and understanding?
Identifying when people threaten everyone you love and telling them to fuck right off is being better than them.
I’m not saying we tolerant intolerance. Just not we shouldn’t be first to violence. Milkshakes fine, rocks, not fine. Mock them don’t hit them.
What do you think intolerance of intolerance entails?
… is a milkshake to the face not “hitting them?”
If it’s just to make them look silly and not liked, but not actually hurt.
If someone stabbed Farage, he’d make such hay of it. I’d half expect him to have arranged it! Wouldn’t surprise me if he arranged the odd milkshake too, to keep him in the news.
Oh no, making hay. That totally cancels out getting stabbed.
Sick to death of this nothing-works attitude. Yeah - there is no course of action that fascists won’t claim proves them right. Stop listening to fascist claims. They lie. They’re fascists. That’s their schtick. But in the same way as deplatformed cranks shouting ‘I was cancelled!’ to an empty room, and spanked children insisting ‘that didn’t hurt!,’ sometimes you can ignore the words coming out of their stupid mouths.
Time to neuter the underdog if you ask me.
Nice!
Yeah, but unfortunately I fully expect some asshat to take it too far and throw something other than a milkshake or other harmless beverage. It would be great if we could just stick to milkshake protests, but humans are garbage.
Well seeing as the girl who threw the milkshake is being charged with “assault by beating”, I wouldn’t be surprised if people took it further.
Jfc the world has gone insane. If that’s the case, next time just beat him.
Surely they can’t charge all of us with assault, right?
I originally had a switcheroo joke about being an undemocratic Russian stooge, but then I remembered how he and his like stocked the 2016 nutters, and we lost Jo Cox. As much as I don’t like the guy no one should be attacked just for standing democratically.
Stop blaming right-wing violence on backlash against right-wing violence.
Look at you, being a decent human being.
The majority of people on here seem to think political violence is acceptable purely against people they disagree with. It would be a different story if it was left-wingers being attacked more often though.
Apparently, this means they’re also morally superior. Lol.
You don’t have to feel the same way about everyone. You can have separate opinions about a fascist punching a lesbian and a lesbian punching a fascist. Their reasons are wildly different.
That thumbnail would make a lovely meme format.
I know he’s a big flaming twat and shouldn’t get any attention at all but absolute LOL at these comments.
FUCK HIM UP! HUURRRRR! HIT HIM IN THE FACE!
Jesus titty fucking Christ what has happened to people? 😅
Politician says ‘I will commit state violence against an entire demographic.’
People say ‘I hope someone else mildly inconveniences that specific public figure.’
Which of these sentiments is more bloodthirsty?
Nice strawman.
My point is that people seem quite happy to condone violence because they don’t like the victim. Are you able to comment on that?
‘You just don’t LIKE it’ is dismissive horseshit and you need to stop.
We are talking about fascists.
There are very specific reasons people are okay with these bastards catching projectiles to the face.
What you’re advocating is violence towards anyone that you don’t like. That isn’t what a just society should condone.
Fascist or not, they need to be defeated by words and the law not by fists and violence. What do you think is the end logic of what you’re saying? When the actually fascist elements of society start doing the same thing as you’re advocating and start to assault people they disagree with?
I’m not sure why this is controversial but yet it appears that it is. 🤷♀️
“YOU JUST DON’T LIKE IT!” remains dismissive horseshit, and you need to fucking listen.
You’re pushing a slippery-slope fallacy… against stopping Nazis. Fuck right off with it.
These assholes are already doing violence. That’s what makes them Nazis. That’s why we’re talking about more than coming together to sing kum-ba-yah. They don’t “disagree” with people. They’re dehumanizing anyone who was born wrong. Do you understand the difference?
?
Are you sure you understand who Nigel Farage is? Or what has actually happened? You seem to be raging at something that is not what I’m saying at all.
My point is that you shouldn’t resort to violence when they disagree with people. Defeat them with words not stones or milkshakes.
Can I ask if you understand this?
Repeatedly explaining how this goes beyond “disagree” and “like” hasn’t helped, so far. Would a third time be different?
Do you even have a consistent position vis-a-vis milkshakes to the face?
Hurting people we dont like makes us feel good, it always has.
among many other things, nigel farage happened to the people.
