      She can enjoy that assault charge coming her way. Sure it was worth the criminal record for the kudos on Twitter.

      He’s a candidate for a parliamentary election and has the right to campaign without being assaulted. Just as the lib/lab/green candidates do. She needs charging

      He’s a political grifter who’s only stayed relevant by alienating different groups of people at different times.

      The lady isn’t in the right but I have zero sympathy for Farage, he deliberately created this animosity to profit from it.

      I’m not a right winger in any way but I hate this kind of stuff. It makes the left look like children.

      Of course traditionally I’m Britain we would put lying grifters that destroyed our political power and economic strength by blatantly lying to the whole population in the stocks before throwing things at them.

      I cant stand the man, his party, the Tories, and how rightward the Overton window is shifting with this wave of right wing populism, but throwing food and drink at people in lieu of discourse is always going to be childish and counterproductive.

      Couldn’t ask for better PR for him with this sort of stuff. Just cements him more strongly as being the underdog among the disenfranchised electorate he appeals to so well.

      More people here are complaining about “the left” praising it than people are actually praising it! What is it with the preemptive victim complex?

      I really don’t like these attacks. We have a political system. You don’t have to like any candidate but acting like this should have it’s consequences. There are too many crazy people out there, like the one who murdered Jo Cox

    12. Business_Ad561 on

      Physical attacks have no place in a modern democracy, how long before it’s acid being thrown over politicians or a knife? We’ve had two MPs murdered in recent memory. This shouldn’t be normalised.

      Political battles are won (or should be) on discussion and debate.

      Ironically, this is only going to fuel people to support Farage more.

      All this kind of shit only strengthens his position. People like to stand up for the underdog. If he’s saying ‘I’m being persecuted for saying what I say’ and nothing happens then he looks like a whiner, but when he says that and he’s getting assaulted every time he’s out in public then it really does look like it’s true.

      It’s stupid self righteous cunts who do shit like this. No thought at all for if they are actually doing something productive. Just want to be the centre of attention and let everyone know how disgusting they find farage.

      He passes the “beer test”, in the sense that he’s the candidate voters would most like to throw a beer at.

      The only thing funnier than seeing a twat have a pint dumped on his head is reading a thread of all the children busting a blood vessel to decry it as political violence before going back to their regularly scheduled whining about political correctness and the woke left.

    17. lazzzym on

      Whilst he’s a knob that has destroyed the country…. What a waste of a perfectly good pint.

    18. Due_Wait_837 on

      I was really hoping that the 1 and only benefit of Brexit would be not having to see Nigel again.

    21. andyavast on

      This is absolutely out of order, say what you will about Carling but no pint deserves to be wasted like that.

    22. OwlsParliament on

      What does this do to actually stop him though?

      It’s all very well wanting to punch nazis or protect your community but random acts of violence without a plan behind them don’t achieve anything but giving the right a sense of grievance.

    23. Valten78 on

      The only thing this moron is achieved is to keep Farage in the headlines and allow him to play the victim whilst making his opponents look like thugs. Slow hand clap.

      Assault on political figures should be considered utterly unacceptable. 2 MPs have been murdered in the last decade, for goodness sake!

      This person needs to be arrested and charged just what happened to the last idiot who chucked a beverage at Farage.

    25. kbm79 on

      Im shocked.

      ..The milkshake machine at McDonald’s was actually working! 😨

    26. pies1123 on

      All these pearl-clutching Farage apologists. Get over yourselves.

      The odd sugary drink is no real comeuppance for his statement that he won his referendum “without a bullet being fired” after one of his ultras killed a pro-EU campaigner.

      This is cool. Suck my dick if you don’t like it.

    28. inspired_corn on

      Farage is a nasty man who championed a project that left millions of people poorer, shit in the rivers and a recruitment crisis in numerous sectors. He’s an opportunistic grifter who doesn’t give a single fuck about anyone other than himself and he’s consistently lied to and taken advantage of the British public, all for his own gains.

      But a milkshake gets thrown at him and all of a sudden people are up in arms saying how we need to be civil and respectful.

    30. jockspice on

      Pint, milkshake, acid, all a laugh when it’s someone you don’t like, eh?

      This country is a fucking shit house.

    31. pudderf on

      Anyone who thinks this is acceptable in any shape or form regardless of your political views needs to give their petulant immature head a wobble. Assault is assault. End of.

    32. FluffyMarshmallow90 on

      I wonder how many people on here would complain if it was a left wing party member who had a pint thrown over them.

    33. trayC-lou on

      Scummy AH’s throw drinks like that cuz they to dumb to actually know what to say

    34. NeverGonnaGiveMewUp on

      I’ll admit that seeing this made me chuckle.
      Splash the fash and all that.

      That said it shouldn’t be happening. Assault is assault regardless of political position.

    35. Gilga1 on

      He deserved it lol.

      Not because of his political views even if he is a liar and right wing nutjob.

      He deserved it for how he communicates all of it like a shit grinned 4 year old.

      Unlike what many people say here, I think throwing piss at smug politicians should become a sport.
