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

Ok, spath. I'm just surprised you are advocating any kind of violence in response to somebody doing their job. We won't ever agree on adult behaviour I think x

[jakep]

Spath, I suspect you wouldn’t do it personally because you don’t have the bottle!
You can shout out loud and strong from your keyboard though. Not always relying on letting the facts get in your way.

"Spath, I suspect you wouldn’t do it personally because you don’t have the bottle! "

Or because i'm a normal person lol.

PP its fine to be outside a polling station weating a rosette....it looks like he might have been on voting card number collecting duty (why do they do that?) and you are allowed to qwear a rosette when you do that, you just can't say anything like vote for bloggs and so on.

Nah you're right! you're so right Jake. I do not have the bottle at all. This act takes guts. Not only would i be scared of being arrested, being scared of the body guards AND be scared of potential prison time... I'm just not the kinda person to throw shakes.

It starts with milkshakes or something you have decided is inconsequential. But that is how it escalates. From milkshakes to nail bombs. If you think any differently then you don’t know history.

Spathi, you need to get a grip if you want to be taken seriously:
=======
//Farage however has been on TV, at rallies and has said a bloody lot. He has been an antagonist for people who are prone to throw milkshakes.//
=======
How has he antagonised you?
========
//"It is juvenile loutish behaviour committed by low life morons and their brain dead supporters. Besides which it is a Common assault, at least, and criminal damage."

That's your opinion of it. Mine is it's a protest.//
======
It’s not opinion (well certainly not the second part). Unless you are acting in self-defence (and it’s hard to see how that might be made out, certainly in the circumstances where Mr Farage was attacked) then it is, at the least, Common Assault. That offence is punishable by up to six months’ custody.

I’m afraid, spathi, that much of what follows demonstrates that reasoned debate is not your strength.
==================
//"No one deserves milkshake being poured over them when going about their legitimate business"

And i disagree.//
----
//I wouldn't do it personally. However, i'd support anyone's decision to.//
---
//It is a protest. It is the living embodiment of a protest.//
---
//"Should we all be allowed to lob things at you? "

If i was in politics then yes.//
---
You seem to be under the impression that assaulting politicians whose views you do not agree with is perfectly acceptable. Well it isn't and hopefully one day you may realise that. To help me understand your viewpoint I’ll just ask you one more question then I think I’m out (unless I get a sensible answer):

//This guy was frustrated by the bile and racism spouted, so he protested. Nige antagonised him.//

What “bile and racism” do you believe Mr Farage has spouted recently?

If you look over the pond to the US ANTIFA have said quite openly that physical violence is a appropriate response to words.

The left fascists in the US want to shut down debate on anything that does not agree or align with their dogma.

Sadly here in the UK we seem to follow in the footsteps of the US and it is apparent by Spath’s childish view that it has started here.
