Mr Farage also spoke with shoppers and while standing by a market stall selling eggs, joked that after being covered in a milkshake last week he did not want eggs to be the next thing thrown at him.
Someone ready the eggs
Having been hit in the eye with a frozen egg, I can’t condone this as it’s like throwing a rock at someone and it really hurts. An unfrozen one is safer and far messier, which makes it funnier.
“I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country,” he wrote about the incident.
Assumes that:
- He is The Country
- Only left wingers hate him
He loves this. He loves to play the victim. The underdog. Despite being a being a real life racist rich toff caricature.
If what he loves is a hurled brick, he’s welcome to as many as he’d like.
Frankly I have no patience for ‘that’s just want they want!’ as a kneejerk response to any backlash against diet Nazis. They’ll claim victory no matter what happens. That’s part of what makes the fascists. The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
If this pattern means the only headlines about this asshole go ‘asshole hit by [object]’ - great. Beats reporting any of the garbage flying from his face.
I think we need to keep being better than them. Not get dragged into the mud with them.
Can you point to an example in history where this worked? Because all the examples of successful big changes (womens right to vote for example) have included mass uprisings, and violence directed at those in power, and often their financial interests.
How’d we solve the previous round of Nazis? Polite patience and understanding?
Identifying when people threaten everyone you love and telling them to fuck right off is being better than them.
Nice!
Yeah, but unfortunately I fully expect some asshat to take it too far and throw something other than a milkshake or other harmless beverage. It would be great if we could just stick to milkshake protests, but humans are garbage.
Well seeing as the girl who threw the milkshake is being charged with “assault by beating”, I wouldn’t be surprised if people took it further.
Surely they can’t charge all of us with assault, right?
