British populist politician Nigel Farage became the latest target after a banana and salted caramel drink was hurled at him.
The British populist politician Nigel Farage became on Monday the third victim of an emerging trend across the pond—the milkshaking of right-wing politicians and activists.
Both men have twice been covered in milkshake while out on the streets of Britain. But while many are enjoying the absurdist memetic humor of the milkshakings, some argue it is normalizing acts of political violence, setting a dangerous precedent in a febrile society. Crowther told the media it was a banana and salted caramel milkshake from a Five Guys restaurant that cost him £5.25 , which he was looking forward to drinking, but that it went to a better purpose.
Videos of the assorted milkshakings have swirled around social media, causing both delight and disdain, inspiring copycat incidents, with more likely to happen in the coming weeks. Blair continued: “I can't stand it. I really feel very strongly about this. The guy is entitled to his point of view. I don't agree with him. I profoundly disagree with him.
The group then beat Mahmud, who was at an anti-fascist rally earlier in the day and had clashed vocally with Robinson.
