He'll not bother. It'll show he's compassionate and his supporters will revere him even more. How the 'right-leaning' are more tolerant.
He'll play it as 'high spirits' and the passion of politics, or some such.
I'm trying to decide if that makes me feel better or worse about the US vs UK right. So much smarter politically to play it off, which makes him more dangerous in some ways. In the US the entire right would be screaming for her blood (after a beating from militarized police) and that's terrifying.
He should pay her. It’s great PR. It keeps him in the media (not that they need a reason 🙄) and it’ll make some people feel sorry for him, “poor Nigel Farage stop bullying him!” 🤢
Ah, I hadn't heard that. But even still, I wonder if the polite version of fascism is more or less dangerous. Just the fact that those photos don't show her getting tackled by a security detail (or bystanders) looks a lot better for Farrage than I think a similar incident would go down in USA.
A whole month to go before the election. If we restrict ourselves to one milkshake per day, that's still aLOT of milkshakes. McD can fund their defences.

That is one satisfied looking smile, as the crowd applaud and take photos
Personally, I like this one the most, because it looks like the guy behind Farage is holding a glass with his tiny hand and getting it filled with milkshake
I'm not usually one who scolds about this stuff but this would have been a pretty excellent time to use alt text because I keep seeing this reposted and have no idea who that guy is.
you're probably better off for not kowing about the human smegma encrusted racist, far-right, bellend that is Nigel Farage (to quote Nish Kumar, Farage is "the unflushable turd of British Politics")
I am well aware of who he is and what he's done by name. I just wouldn't be able to pick him out of a line up. Especially not while cringing and getting splattered.

Lid and straw clearly visible still in midair.

She looks happy

Impact!
First and last time I'll say anything - Not a fan of such acts. Don't care how despicable or deserving the recipient may be. Normalization of such acts just opens the door for more of the same, or worse, and makes us hypocrites to complain when it happens to someone we respect. No thanks.
He (and you!) should be glad it wasn't full of polonium
Or battery acid
Or H5N1 cow feces
This isn't violence, this is a shitweasel getting a polite reminder that he's not welcome in public. He should take the hint and crawl back under his rock before something really unfortunate happens to him
And I think it's incredibly scummy to conflate getting someone's clothes wet with attacking and/or killing them. ESPECIALLY if you're suggesting the people using politics to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless are ultimately identical to people trying to kill the hungry and kill the homeless.
One of the greatest parts about this was that the press made sure to explain to everyone how, in the middle east, hurling your shoes at someone's face is a sign of disrespect.

An evil version of Ed Davey falling of a paddleboard for the front page cover picture.

holy shit, that's *good*
They are not the same.
I don't need AI to pretend to be me, I'm unhinged enough on my own thank you.
Wish her all the best
God approves.

Her milkshake
Is better than ours

Using these points of data, the tradition is clearly that the liquid should get cheaper and less pleasant as we progress.
One can only hope his entire endeavour ends up crashing and burning
That [multiple expletives deleted] should not be able to go into public without requiring full PPE.
He should fear the sight of any cup-shaped object for the rest of his miserable life.

Double Whammy!

Scratch that,
he was a mess from the start
Then they can say they've been...
(wait for it...)
... battered!
Or battery acid
Or H5N1 cow feces

Can't say I'm surprised though
These assholes should either do right or be afraid to leave their homes.
The fact that he wouldn’t go into govt after brexit, and set up his own party shows who he represents. £€$
A real heroine.
