Calling it an attack feels like it lessens the meaning of the word for actual attacks. The man got wet.

He was made sticky by vicky.

No, the charge is assault by beating, which sounds like mr farright got kicked or punched, but nope he got soaked by milkshake. I guess that bring the boys to the yard and he won the seat.

I think poor Farage got beat by a paper cup accidentally.

Thomas Bowen told police she did not intend the paper cup to hit Farage.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Possibly the idea

"She states she did not regret her actions."

She acknowledges that this was an assault and that the liquid would have gone over the jackets of him and others and caused them to get cleaning, but she states that Nigel would be able to afford this.

Damn right, let's throw it at Farage.

[-] mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 years ago

How’d they figure out who did it?

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 10 points 2 years ago

I feel she should have at least tried the shaggy defence.

[-] Paddzr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because she admitted it. It also happens to be she's on OnlyFans! Go figure...

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 15 points 2 years ago

Could have been worse, he wasn't creampied like that anti-gay orange juice lady in the 70s or 80s.

As much as i think Garage is a piece of human garbage that needs to have a date with a guillotine, throwing anything at anyone is a terrible idea. Its a milkshake now, but what if it was acid? What if the target is lacto intolerant and ends up consuming some? Or a nut allerge with a nut drink? These can be very severe.

While i agree that Garage sucks, throwing things at people shouldn't be a solution.

[-] CoachDom 30 points 2 years ago

Throwing things at people is not a solution but guillotine is? I'm not taking sides here, just curious about the thoughts process. Are you arguing that milkshake is not enough?

[-] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

What if he’d had an allergic reaction on his way to the guillotine? Wouldn’t that be awful?

/s

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 years ago

It's all well and good guillotining him, but what if the guillotene was sharp? Someone might get a nasty cut!

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 years ago

i would argue that nige should be glad people are civilized enough to only throw beverages at him

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

He did have a banana thrown at him in Barnsley one time, as well as a milkshake. And another time it was a coffee cup. N Going around with such a punchable face comes with risks.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

What if instead of Nigel Farage it was a baby and what if instead of milkshake it was me stomping it to death with my big awesome robot mech suit what then HMM

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

What if it was uranium 235? What if it was a gun instead of a cup? What if what if what if?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

What if the target is lacto intolerant and ends up consuming some?

I think you're overestimating the likelihood of someone consuming a liquid thrown at them, and underestimating how much milkshake a typical lactose-intolerant person would need to consume to get a severe reaction.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

You're right the milkshake could have transmuted into acid in fact I hear that happens all of the time.

What a complete dipshit you are.

[-] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wow you lot are completely missing the point... here let me spell it out for you:

As much as I hate that person, promoting violence, is not the right solution... please learn to read... jeeze

[-] Apollo42@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

You just called for his execution, how can you follow that up with "promoting violence, is not the right solution"?

[-] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Can you read and comprehend?

[-] Apollo42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's a pretty dumb thing to ask someone througb the medium of text.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Violence

Milkshake

Lmao, no.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Are guillotines a pacifist solution?
