Woman, 25, who threw milkshake at Nigel Farage unmasked as Labour-backing adult model (www.express.co.uk)

The woman who threw a milkshake over Nigel Farage is a Labour-supporting adult model, it can be revealed.

Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, previously shared a picture on Facebook with the caption: “Vote Labour for the many not the few”.

And the mother-of-one also regularly publishes raunchy pictures on adult sites and her social media sites.

She said of the incident: "He doesn't stand for me.

"He doesn't represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn't represent us, he's not from here."

...

The young blonde woman hurled a cup of banana milkshake at the new Reform UK leader as he left the Moon and Starfish pub in Clacton, Essex.

...

Thomas-Bowen, from Clacton, Essex, was arrested on suspicion of assault and taken into custody.

"Unmasked". She threw a milkshake on him in broad daylight with photographers around. This dumbass headline makes it sound like a dastardly plot has been revealed by Detective Holmes. She's a different party from him, she doesn't like him, and she expressed her dislike, in as public a way as possible. Ooohhh, good job with the fieldwork on that one, Express.

"unmasked" because of the assumption that anyone who posts "raunchy" pictures, especially for money, would spontaneously combust in shame if their name were ever made public.

boring bigoted shit

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 25 points 5 months ago

Well, there was a theory that she was the gf of Reform researcher. The two look quite similar, but it's mostly because they're both blond and 25ish.

So this story is, "woman who threw a milkshake at a right-wing populist is not in favor of right-wing populists".

I'm glad we got that sorted out.

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 54 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well it shuts up the conspiracists claiming Farage had himself milkshaked by a Reform supporter as some of 5d chess false flag thing I suppose.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I never believe that. No one in the reform party is that bright. It requires at least six IQ points to come up with a plan that advanced.

It's like she is all the Express' horrors made flesh - a single mother, who posts raunchy snaps online and quotes Corbyn.

My major concern comes via the Mirror:

The 25-year-old mum-of-one describes herself as a 'video creator' on her Instagram profile and also posts links to an Onlyfans page.

Have we escaped Reddit only to encounter Onlyfans spam in the general election?

[–] swayevenly@lemm.ee 36 points 5 months ago (3 children)

So far I like the content she makes.

Does nothing to dispell the impression that their readership is collectively unzipping.

Wasn't Farage one of those Brexit cheerleaders that had a vested interest in the exit?

So some people (like myself) were thinking this was all a publicity stunt by Farage. Now I'm leaning toward this was just a publicity stunt by an actress and that shit-stain Farage only benefited from it.
