All well and good lobbing some milkshake at some pompous, arrogant, narcissistic person with warped political ambitions but some poor old pensioner??? OTT.

"nobody is an "antagonist" for violence... even politicians! "
Evidently they are though because look what is happening. Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage..
"I hope spath get a really good shaking with or without milk. Appalling comments that encourage malevolent intentions."
David yet that is exactly what you've just done, making it hypocritical.

That's part of the issue, no one ever gets to give it to politicians so they can take it for once. They are so protected and come out with all this controversial stuff. Given the opportunity people have their shot, with what they have available.
If this was america these people would have been shot. Thankfully it's only a milkshake.

No, they aren't. You can't force another adult to be violent (as I said, self-defence excepted). Or even encourage it. People have minds of their own. I genuinely don't see how you can suggest it is not their fault that they are forced to throw milkshakes...
If, as you say, you could stop yourself behaving that way... why do you think others can't?

"You can't force another adult to be violent"
No but you can antagonise them. I didn't say these throwers were forced to do anything. No one is forced to protest.
"Standing in handcuffs outside a branch of Waterstones, Paul Crowther, 32, from Crockley, Newcastle, who was awaiting questioning on suspicion of assault, said he had been looking forward to his milkshake when he saw Nigel Farage, “but I think it went on a better purpose… The bile and the racism he spouts out in this country is far more damaging than a bit of milkshake to his front.”"
This guy was frustrated by the bile and racism spouted, so he protested. Nige antagonised him.

Could you explain what you mean by "antagonised"?
Yes, people get annoyed or angry with each other, but we communicate with words, because we are human.
You seem to be suggesting that because politicians are mouthy and controversial (which is their job, tbf) that being assaulted is just par for the course? Do you honestly think throwing things is an acceptable way for any adult to behave?

Pixie i'm not looking for an excuse. I don't care if people see me as a hypocrite, but i'm glad they got milk shaked. It was humerus. They were not in danger, it could have been worse.
They are extremely controversial public figures in politics, they reap what they sow. They maybe should not be so controversial regarding touchy topics.
This kind of thing should not happen to associates of these people such as people of the same party.
