Nigel Farage is a terrible human being, which is just one of the reasons why so many people enjoyed watching him getting doused in a milkshake yesterday.
My only criticism of the 32-year-old man who did the dousing is that he should have gone for that smug face of Nigel’s, who was just 20 minutes into his stroll around the city of Newcastle.
The milkshake-wielding assailant has been arrested, and named as Paul Crowther. Here’s his cracking response via the Guardian:
“It’s a right of protest against people like him.” Standing in handcuffs outside a Waterstones bookshop in Newcastle city centre, Crowther said he did not regret his actions.
He told reporters it was a banana and salted caramel milkshake bought from Five Guys. “I was quite looking forward to it, but I think it went on a better purpose,” he said.
I’m glad he didn’t go vanilla, which is almost certainly Farage’s preferred flavour.
Here’s the footage of the incident – special hat-tip to the guy at the 30-second mark for his hearty laughter:
Egg Boy still has the best political video of 2019 locked down, but it is grand watching Nigel suffer.
By the way, he lost the right to civil political discourse when he repeatedly lied to the British public before, during, and after the Brexit referendum.
In Scotland recently, police were so afraid of Farage being hit with dairy (‘lactosing the intolerant’, as some have dubbed it) that they specifically asked a nearby McDonald’s to stop selling them on an evening he was holding a pro-Brexit rally nearby.
Cue this tweet – superb:
Farage is just the latest milkshake victim, with far-right politician Tommy Robinson hit twice in the space of two days:
Tommy Robinson – awful human. I don’t feel an iota of pity for him.
Also doused in milkshake, repeatedly, is YouTuber and candidate for the United Kingdom Independence Party Carl Benjamin. Here’s the Daily Beast:
Benjamin [below] has been making headlines for a series of what he describes as jokes about whether or not he would rape a Member of Parliament.
His milkshaking in the southwest region of Cornwall was no less than the fourth time that he has been drenched with a cold lactose treat during the short campaign period.
Cracking rape jokes is a surefire way to end up covered in dairy.
Who’s up for tossing a McFlurry at Zuma when he emerges from court today and claims that he’s innocent, and the NPA is running a witch hunt?
Do it for your country.
