Reuters: UK right-winger Farage doused with drink at election campaign launch

Culprit:

Apparently not even the first time it’s happened to him:

It was a setup. The woman is the girlfriend of a reform party member. Farage has form for this sort of publicity stunt.

Farage is all anyone is talking about at the moment, the stunt seems to have worked.

Edit

According to the BBC a woman’s been charged, so it seems like the initial skepticism was misplaced.
- This appears to be false.
  
  Could be. I’ve no trust in The Express though. It’s a right wing rag.
- She looks exactly like every other British girl that age. This proves nothing, you're chatting pure shit
  
  I’m not chatting anything you biff, I shared what I saw. You can make your own mind up.
- while i’m inclined to believe you, some sort of source or even the woman’s name would help a lot….
  
  Of course, you’re right. I’ve edited my post to include what I read earlier.
- Thanks for sharing, would suggest another edit here:
  
  Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, is due to appear at Colchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, 2 July charged with assault by beating and criminal damage, Essex Police said.

  Thanks. 👍🏻
- Unless he's getting off on it, I'm just glad he's milkshaked.
Staged to get into the media spotlight by any means necessary. The security guy is wearing that jacket zipped for a reason; is looking right at her; is not reacting in any way to stop her. Looking at the reaction of the crowd, it looks like the work of a sophist; the true hallmark of the Right.
- This will be most people's first heads up that Farage is back in the game
- If it is staged, we should all be pouring milkshake on the guy everywhere he goes until he stops.
- sophist:
  
  a paid teacher of philosophy and rhetoric in ancient Greece, associated in popular thought with moral skepticism and specious reasoning.

  Plato
  
  As only small portions of the sophists' writings have survived they are mainly known through the works of Plato. Plato's dialogs present his generally hostile views on the sophists' thought, due to which he is largely responsible for the modern view of the sophist as an avaricious instructor who teaches deception.
  
  Before Plato, the word "sophist" could be used as either a respectful or contemptuous title. It was in Plato's dialogue, Sophist, that the first record of an attempt to answer the question "what is a sophist?" is made. Plato described sophists as paid hunters after the young and wealthy, as merchants of knowledge, as athletes in a contest of words, and purgers of souls. From Plato's assessment of sophists it could be concluded that sophists do not offer true knowledge, but only an opinion of things. Plato describes them as shadows of the true, saying, "the art of contradiction making, descended from an insincere kind of conceited mimicry, of the semblance-making breed, derived from image making, distinguished as portion, not divine but human, of production, that presents, a shadow play of words—such are the blood and the lineage which can, with perfect truth, be assigned to the authentic sophist". Plato sought to distinguish sophists from philosophers, arguing that a sophist was a person who made his living through deception, whereas a philosopher was a lover of wisdom who sought the truth. To give the philosophers greater credence, Plato gave the sophists a negative connotation.[22]
No one man has done more harm to the UK in recent years than Farage.
- He is just a vulture flying on top of the destruction caused by David Cameron's political incompetence
  
  He fucking caused Cameron's incompetence.
  
  farage stoking the fires of Brexit existed long before Cameron's idiocy. Ukip
- What’s he done?
  
  One of the primary architects of brexit.
Her milkshake would bring me (a boy) to her yard.
- Her yard of course being her onlyfans
People saying is fake, but you can't fake the smile of the red shirt guy.
- That is a dark purple shirt for the people who aren't colorblind.
  
  Nuh uh, it's maroon.
  
  Also more commonly known as black for us simple folk.
- Just because the main two were in on it doesn't mean the bystanders have to be
Fuck that guy
Not all heroes wear capes
- Some bigots wear milkshakes though
- 404 no hero found
  
  It was either political violence or a false flag operation. Either way, no heroes were involved.
  
  Political violence is when milkshake
No such thing as bad publicity so might as well have an acquaintance's life-size barbie embarrass you with a milkshake.

  Because women are property in the mind of @[email protected]
  
  Whatever you say, bub.
  
  Whooosh
I was hoping that milkshakings return after Andy Ngo pretended he suffered severe brain injury from one, and it's a staged one...
