This should be put up in a museum

Nigel Farage in a crowd having milkshake thrown on him

FATALITY!

Props to the photographer ready with the optimal camera settings.

"Wait, is that a milkshake?"

switches to max iso and 1/8000

Anyone have the soggy, sticky aftershot?

[-] bazus1@lemmy.world 44 points 4 weeks ago


I mean The Independent isn't that bad of a news source...

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 17 points 4 weeks ago

Billy Blueshirt already applauding.

If he comes to your town, it means he thinks you are all backward. So do your duty, and sling a shake .

[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 18 points 4 weeks ago

Top tip: you can save valuable time by leaving it in the cup and just throwing that.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 11 points 4 weeks ago

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...

By Jove, this could just work!

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

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 29 points 4 weeks ago

She really does look pretty similar especially in the profile headshot

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago

How could he be so dense to think these pics wouldn't come to light?

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 24 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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

Thanks for that. I left Twitter in Nov 22, so I can't follow the interesting threads anymore.

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 weeks ago

Oh I've never been on Twatter, somebody shared this on a Discord I'm on

Apparently that's a different person. More on this as it develops. Over to Emperor with sports news.

[-] jaywalker@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 22 points 4 weeks ago

DM: "Are snowflakes making bioweapons against Nigel?"

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

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.

oooh - a great shot from the young lady, to open the season with what looks like it might be banana milkshake.

Maybe this be the first of many - have a great season and happy shake slinging.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 4 weeks ago

Good velocity, fantastic spread, appears to be decent accuracy.

Deserved. How many elections has he already lost? He needs to get in the sea already.

[-] apis@beehaw.org 11 points 4 weeks ago

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.

Her: "My milkshake brings all the boys from the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours."

Scotland Yard: "Damn right, it's better than yours."

The last guy who did it was fined 350.

How do we set up a gofundme for props legal fees ?

Is this becoming a UK tradition?

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 17 points 4 weeks ago

With Farage? Yes.

Right back at you my winged friend.

So Starmer got glittered. Nigel got his traditional milkshaking. What's Rishi gonna get?

Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
