    Calling it an attack feels like it lessens the meaning of the word for actual attacks. The man got wet.

      No, the charge is assault by beating, which sounds like mr farright got kicked or punched, but nope he got soaked by milkshake. I guess that bring the boys to the yard and he won the seat.

        I think poor Farage got beat by a paper cup accidentally.

        Thomas Bowen told police she did not intend the paper cup to hit Farage.

      She acknowledges that this was an assault and that the liquid would have gone over the jackets of him and others and caused them to get cleaning, but she states that Nigel would be able to afford this.

        I love this because it is entirely true and she is just being honest. Rich people can afford to have their coat cleaned.

    As much as i think Garage is a piece of human garbage that needs to have a date with a guillotine, throwing anything at anyone is a terrible idea. Its a milkshake now, but what if it was acid? What if the target is lacto intolerant and ends up consuming some? Or a nut allerge with a nut drink? These can be very severe.

    While i agree that Garage sucks, throwing things at people shouldn’t be a solution.

      Throwing things at people is not a solution but guillotine is? I’m not taking sides here, just curious about the thoughts process. Are you arguing that milkshake is not enough?

        He did have a banana thrown at him in Barnsley one time, as well as a milkshake. And another time it was a coffee cup. N Going around with such a punchable face comes with risks.

      What if the target is lacto intolerant and ends up consuming some?

      I think you’re overestimating the likelihood of someone consuming a liquid thrown at them, and underestimating how much milkshake a typical lactose-intolerant person would need to consume to get a severe reaction.

      You’re right the milkshake could have transmuted into acid in fact I hear that happens all of the time.
