      FATALITY!

      Props to the photographer ready with the optimal camera settings.

              When I got to the milkshake impact picture I thought to myself “How does someone just impromptu throw a milkshake? Did she practice or something? My aim would be terrible. … Should I practice throwing milkshakes?”

              And then I got to that last picture where it appears the shake chucker is a certified shake sniper, and I realized I should practice throwing them! That woman is a rare talent, and I’d certainly be in the lower third of the bell curve for precision if I tried to deliver a dessert the same way.

      Top tip: you can save valuable time by leaving it in the cup and just throwing that.

      Might not be from Maccie Ds as they are expensive. Possibly not even a milkshake, let’s go dairy free for the planet. However, I am sure you can all rummage up something. Not that he’d dare come up here.

        • Is your local water company irresponsibly releasing sewage into your rivers?

        • Are you struggling to find an environmentally sound liquid to throw over Nigel Farridge?

        I wonder if there’s some sort of solution to both these problems? Perhaps there is a way to both help remove a small amount of sewage from the river and also find something to throw at Nigel?

        Hmm…

    There’s a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

          You’re asking how could Farage be so dense?

          But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it’s not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

          How could anyone be so dense to jump on this conclusion when it’s apparent it’s a different person?

          Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen. She models online for cash.

      What a weird publicity stunt this would be. Do people actually feel bad for him or something? I’m from the US and only seem to hear about Nigel when he gets hit in the face with a milkshake or says something horrendous

      Aside from the same colour hair, they don’t even look alike.

      This is desperate stuff.

        Different nose and hairline are the biggest takeaways. Not easy to see every feature with the pictures provided though.

        Politics aside, as I’m not a UK resident. This is some House of Cards or Succession level of narrative pushing.

        Edit* pure cope. Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen. An Only Fans model.

    I like that this has become a sort of election tradition now lol.

    If I can propose a slight tweak, if you know he’s heading your way might I suggest buying the milkshake about a week beforehand to allow it to reach it’s full potential? Let it level up, so to speak.

        Rember when that dipshit Andy ngo got milkshakes and chids were trying to argue it wad assault because it was actually concrete not milkshake.

        I’m not saying it was concrete, I’m just saying that’s an interesting thought exercise.

        It’s only a matter of time before you’ll get 20 years for a milkshaking. I remember when that weevil Ngo got milkshaked, there was endless handwringing and gnashing of teeth over it: “What if someone were to put ready-mix concrete in a milkshake cup? Anthrax? An HIV-riddled bloodshake??” And of course, none of those escalations happened, but it clearly discomfited the fringe political enthusiasts.

        It’s important to have non-lethal physical means of expressing derision. It used to be banana-cream pies, but it seems that those days are long gone. “They came for the milkshakers, and I did nothing…”

      The sequence of shake colours should make a rainbow. That’d be a nice touch.

              mistaken identity i guess.

              Thomas-Bowen was arrested by Essex police on suspicion of assault.

              However, since the pictures of the event were shared widely online, people falsely identified the woman as Emily Hewertson – a 24-year-old conservative, pro-Brexit media personality, who also works as a House of Commons press officer.

              Clarifying that she was not responsible for the incident, Hewertson wrote on Twitter/X: “No, I did not throw a milkshake over Nigel Farage.”.

              however, she just did it for publicity;

              The woman who threw the drink has been identified as Victoria Thomas-Bowen, who is a 25-year-old OnlyFans model.

              but oh well… i hope he gets more milkshakes

      His angry little face every time in Newsnight’s compilation of election result announcements, followed by him having a temper tantrum at a BBC interviewer asking about all his losses. Gold.

      He’s likely to do worse now than in 2015 (his best result to date) when he was agitating for Brexit, notwithstanding dark funding & assistance from Twitter’s new owner, as many of those who thought they wanted to leave the EU have realised it was a mistake.

    Her: “My milkshake brings all the boys from the yard, and they’re like, it’s better than yours.”

    Scotland Yard: “Damn right, it’s better than yours.”
