I've read numerous folks claiming it was a publicity stunt by the "victim". Dunno if factual.

The milkshaker in question was arrested and is being charged for assault, so unlikely:

Might have better luck with property damage if it ruined the suit. But that's just a civil case.

Assault? What a joke.

Nigel Farage is a racist cunt, and noticed that he gets free publicity when someone throws something at him.

So he staged this bit of theatre today because he's desperate for attention

The security guy didn't react in any way before or after, and gave the game away

Tldr Nige is a cunt

Can confirm, Nige is a cunt.

The guy getting milkshaked is Nigel Farage, a right-wing politician and all-round cunt, best known for being the biggest Brexit cheerleader. This incident happened yesterday as he was launching his election campaign - the UK is having a general election next month.

Further context: this is the second time this has happened; when he ran in 2019 he had milkshake thrown at him.

I guess it’s Nigel Farage. No context needed.

Whoever got these shots is probably feeling so chuffed about themselves.
