Lmao imagine having a whole day at court because someone had milkshake thrown over them. What a waste of everyone's time.
Calling it an attack feels like it lessens the meaning of the word for actual attacks. The man got wet.
He was made sticky by vicky.
No, the charge is assault by beating, which sounds like mr farright got kicked or punched, but nope he got soaked by milkshake. I guess that bring the boys to the yard and he won the seat.
I think poor Farage got beat by a paper cup accidentally.
Thomas Bowen told police she did not intend the paper cup to hit Farage.
Possibly the idea
Damn right, let's throw it at Farage.
"She states she did not regret her actions."
She acknowledges that this was an assault and that the liquid would have gone over the jackets of him and others and caused them to get cleaning, but she states that Nigel would be able to afford this.
I love this because it is entirely true and she is just being honest. Rich people can afford to have their coat cleaned.
Could have been worse, he wasn't creampied like that anti-gay orange juice lady in the 70s or 80s.
That was satisfying!
Give her a medal
Or a Knighthood.
Or more milkshake
How’d they figure out who did it?
I feel she should have at least tried the shaggy defence.
Who?
It’s just a damn shame she didn’t have time to freeze it first.
