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
