              When I got to the milkshake impact picture I thought to myself “How does someone just impromptu throw a milkshake? Did she practice or something? My aim would be terrible. … Should I practice throwing milkshakes?”

              And then I got to that last picture where it appears the shake chucker is a certified shake sniper, and I realized I should practice throwing them! That woman is a rare talent, and I’d certainly be in the lower third of the bell curve for precision if I tried to deliver a dessert the same way.

      Might not be from Maccie Ds as they are expensive. Possibly not even a milkshake, let’s go dairy free for the planet. However, I am sure you can all rummage up something. Not that he’d dare come up here.

        • Is your local water company irresponsibly releasing sewage into your rivers?

        • Are you struggling to find an environmentally sound liquid to throw over Nigel Farridge?

        I wonder if there’s some sort of solution to both these problems? Perhaps there is a way to both help remove a small amount of sewage from the river and also find something to throw at Nigel?

        Hmm…

    There’s a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

          You’re asking how could Farage be so dense?

          But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it’s not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

          How could anyone be so dense to jump on this conclusion when it’s apparent it’s a different person?

        Different nose and hairline are the biggest takeaways. Not easy to see every feature with the pictures provided though.

        Politics aside, as I’m not a UK resident. This is some House of Cards or Succession level of narrative pushing.

        Edit* pure cope. Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen. An Only Fans model.

      What a weird publicity stunt this would be. Do people actually feel bad for him or something? I’m from the US and only seem to hear about Nigel when he gets hit in the face with a milkshake or says something horrendous

    I like that this has become a sort of election tradition now lol.

    If I can propose a slight tweak, if you know he’s heading your way might I suggest buying the milkshake about a week beforehand to allow it to reach it’s full potential? Let it level up, so to speak.

        Rember when that dipshit Andy ngo got milkshakes and chids were trying to argue it wad assault because it was actually concrete not milkshake.

        I’m not saying it was concrete, I’m just saying that’s an interesting thought exercise.

          People throwing mysterious liquids over other people is a problem, even if it can be comical. Imagine if it had been one of those nutters throwing bathroom cleaner.

      His angry little face every time in Newsnight’s compilation of election result announcements, followed by him having a temper tantrum at a BBC interviewer asking about all his losses. Gold.

      He’s likely to do worse now than in 2015 (his best result to date) when he was agitating for Brexit, notwithstanding dark funding & assistance from Twitter’s new owner, as many of those who thought they wanted to leave the EU have realised it was a mistake.

              mistaken identity i guess.

              Thomas-Bowen was arrested by Essex police on suspicion of assault.

              However, since the pictures of the event were shared widely online, people falsely identified the woman as Emily Hewertson – a 24-year-old conservative, pro-Brexit media personality, who also works as a House of Commons press officer.

              Clarifying that she was not responsible for the incident, Hewertson wrote on Twitter/X: “No, I did not throw a milkshake over Nigel Farage.”.

              however, she just did it for publicity;

              The woman who threw the drink has been identified as Victoria Thomas-Bowen, who is a 25-year-old OnlyFans model.

              but oh well… i hope he gets more milkshakes

    Could not disagree more with Farage’s politics or dislike him more as a person but actions like this cheapen politics in this country. It makes it look like his opponents are unable to win the argument so need to resort to stunts (despite the fact his previous 8 attempts to enter parliament show that he is not winning the argument).

    Also turns out that this woman is an OF content creator so it is basically just a marketing stunt for her.

      Cheapen politics? That milkshake was worth more to the country than Farage has ever been. Personally, I would be fine with him getting pelted with any kind of food item every single time he is in public.

      The country is run by an Eton boy’s club and their corrupt banker mates, only looking to make money for themselves. We need more direct action like this on thise responsible.

        What do stunts like this really achieve? Do they prove Farage wrong or show his followers why he’s so problematic? When someone resorts to violence to make a point it devalues everything they are making a stand for. It says “I couldn’t explain what’s wrong with this persons politics so I just threw something at them instead”

          Firstly, it’s not a particularly violent act. Pouring a small cup of dessert on someone should not be considered a violent assault. It’s less offensive by a large degree than spitting on someone.

          I get where you’re coming from with it seeming like a desperate act of frustration, but that action in itself is saying something. If every politician started getting milkshaked regularly it wouldn’t be the case that the public suddenly believes the politicians are all correct, it would be a message that something is deeply wrong.

          On Farage in particular though, where is the forum to get a point across in any other way? Farage has never been elected to a local position, only ever as as MEP trying to sever ties with the same parliament he was elected to. He has his own right wing propaganda TV station. How are you supposed to reach his audience? He has no accountability whatsoever. Milkshake
