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.
DM: "Are snowflakes making bioweapons against Nigel?"
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.
God that would have been terrible
I would be totally fine with farage having acid thrown on him.
It's only a matter of time before you'll get 20 years for a milkshaking. I remember when that weevil Ngo got milkshaked, there was endless handwringing and gnashing of teeth over it: "What if someone were to put ready-mix concrete in a milkshake cup? Anthrax? An HIV-riddled bloodshake??" And of course, none of those escalations happened, but it clearly discomfited the fringe political enthusiasts.
It's important to have non-lethal physical means of expressing derision. It used to be banana-cream pies, but it seems that those days are long gone. "They came for the milkshakers, and I did nothing..."
