Farage — who rocked Westminster Monday by u-turning and announcing he will stand in Britain’s election as leader of the right-wing Reform Party — was hit with the drink as he exited a Wetherspoons pub in Clacton.
The banana-flavored milkshake from McDonald’s soaked his hair, face and parts of his clothes.
Speaking to POLITICO after the protest, Farage admitted to being rattled by the “quite violent” incident — but described it as an occupational hazard on campaign walkabouts.
“If somebody chucks something and it hits you in the face, it could be anything, it is a bit scary,” he said.
He added: “It was quite violently done. This doesn’t happen to Keir Starmer, this doesn’t happen to Rishi Sunak. You know why, they don’t go out and meet hundreds of people and this is the risk of doing it.”
Also you’re an even bigger cunt than they are. That doesn’t help you.
This photo (taken by Ben Stansall, to give credit where it’s very much due) is astonishing to me; the timing of it is glorious, and somehow I find this even funnier than the photo of that implacable curve of milkshake actually hitting Farage. The young lady was, obviously, arrested for assault, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a substantial number of people offered to pay whatever fine she may attract…
