Nigel Farage’s fear of being the next target is a stark reminder of the dangers of political violence. The ‘toss a milkshake at Nigel Farage’ game at a Pride Festival is not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.
Seriously? They were throwing milkshakes at a cardboard cutout of him. Seems pretty mild. You’d have to slide a fair way down the not-so-slippery slope to even get to throwing a milkshake at the real frog-faced twat, let alone trying to actually harm him.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a milkshake is a good guy with a milkshake.
That’s why I always open-carry a milkshake with me at all times
But also - he has dedicated his entire career to openly harming others, not only marginalised people, but our entire society, for his own personal gain. If he can’t take the fucking harmless milkshake to the fucking face (or, honestly, any consequences to his very deliberate actions), maybe he should stop actively making the lives of the people in this country worse, and fuck off back to the bog he crawled out of. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I think this sub and half of reddit would lose their shit.
Progressives love to, just as much as anyone else, minimize stuff like this as joking while picking apart and analyzing every single phrase and action committed by the otherwise looking for anything that sticks. I fully believe if it were Obama the Internet would be screeching at each other about how it’s somehow racist.
Oh rubbish. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill
Just locker room talk
Random words are random
Is the political class that chemically castrated Alan Turing for being gay ultimately causing his suicide bitching about a parlor game?
It’s a protest. I mean pride itself is a protest for the rights of the LGBTQA+ So like…what!? When did we stop permitting a wide variety of opinions, ideas and expressions? So freakin’ bananers.
We should take it back to the original pride and throw bricks at the cut out of Nigel Farage.
Why settle for an imitation when you can have the real thing?
Hahaha, I once wrote this whole take it to the streets thing for a buddy of mine. Cause he had the crazy idea of asking my ass to write him a monologue to do. Prompted some strong ass street justice, and definitely was not mixed-company appropriate (gays x straights). He did some monologue from that Radcliff play instead. Made me laugh my ass off. I love that man, what was he thinking =P!?
TAKE IT TO THE STREEETSSS HAHAHAHAHA!
No decent person in the article criticized the game. It’s just Farage and his friend trying to play a victim card.
“And frankly, Chesterfield Pride needs to grow up, because they would not accept this if this was against a gay politician.”
If Farage was gay people would still throw milkshakes at him. Right wing politicians tend to concentrate on person’s identity and not what they say, because their own platform is just (conservative) identity politics without any policy to actually help people.
Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.
We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.
You’re mixing up traditions there, one is a cooling summer time activity, the other is reserved for helping light up the long winter nights (also - No Nige November has a nice ring to it 🤔), we can observe both!
(effigy of Nige on its way to the bonfire a couple of years back)
the legendary Lewes bonfire no less
He should just be happy that they’re not putting rocks in the milkshakes before throwing them.
And they’re throwing them at a picture of him.
Fuck that, if he wants to whine about it, make an effigy and burn the fucking thing on the end of a rope.
By “for” they mean “in favor of”, right?
Also, the past tense is “milkshook”.
I criticize the criticizers.
Oh, like criticized that milkshakes don’t go hard enough? Makes sense.
Oh no! Not criticism! How will they ever recover?

Maybe he could have supported the opinions of the people he’s supposed to “represent”…?
Could’ve been worse. Could’ve been a shooting game.
Criticised by who? Gammons?
