What a waste of milk, makes you cry

Criticised by who? Gammons?

I can think of much better things to throw at him

fakeman_pretendname ,

Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.

We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.

You’re mixing up traditions there, one is a cooling summer time activity, the other is reserved for helping light up the long winter nights (also - No Nige November has a nice ring to it 🤔), we can observe both!

“I’m all for a laugh, but this goes too far,” Farage said on Thursday. A Derbyshire local agreed, saying the game was “not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.

If only irony could throw milkshakes…

puchaczyk ,

No decent person in the article criticized the game. It’s just Farage and his friend trying to play a victim card.

“And frankly, Chesterfield Pride needs to grow up, because they would not accept this if this was against a gay politician.”

If Farage was gay people would still throw milkshakes at him. Right wing politicians tend to concentrate on person’s identity and not what they say, because their own platform is just (conservative) identity politics without any policy to actually help people.

If Farage was gay, people might be more inclined to throw milkshakes at him. People aren’t big fans of traitors.

yeah, milkshake, pathetic.

at least drop a fucking guillotine blade

Is the political class that chemically castrated Alan Turing for being gay ultimately causing his suicide bitching about a parlor game?

floofloof ,

Nigel Farage’s fear of being the next target is a stark reminder of the dangers of political violence. The ‘toss a milkshake at Nigel Farage’ game at a Pride Festival is not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.

Seriously? They were throwing milkshakes at a cardboard cutout of him. Seems pretty mild. You’d have to slide a fair way down the not-so-slippery slope to even get to throwing a milkshake at the real frog-faced twat, let alone trying to actually harm him.

IsThisAnAI ,

I think this sub and half of reddit would lose their shit.

Progressives love to, just as much as anyone else, minimize stuff like this as joking while picking apart and analyzing every single phrase and action committed by the otherwise looking for anything that sticks. I fully believe if it were Obama the Internet would be screeching at each other about how it’s somehow racist.

kaffiene ,

Oh rubbish. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill

Just locker room talk

Yes, attacking an effigy of a white racist and bigot is the equivalent of attacking an effigy of a black person who has shown no indication of being a racist or bigot. There’s no difference there at all.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a milkshake is a good guy with a milkshake.

SkaveRat ,

That’s why I always open-carry a milkshake with me at all times

Yeah, but Britain has been burning a guy in effigy once a year for centuries. Imagine if ‘Nigel Farage Day’ took over for ‘Guy Fawkes Day’ and instead of bonfires, you had thrown milkshakes everywhere! Imagine the mess! The smell! Britain can’t handle such things!

ShareMySims ,

But also - he has dedicated his entire career to openly harming others, not only marginalised people, but our entire society, for his own personal gain. If he can’t take the fucking harmless milkshake to the fucking face (or, honestly, any consequences to his very deliberate actions), maybe he should stop actively making the lives of the people in this country worse, and fuck off back to the bog he crawled out of. ¯*(ツ)*/¯

Etterra ,

He should just be happy that they’re not putting rocks in the milkshakes before throwing them.

floofloof ,

And they’re throwing them at a picture of him.

Empricorn ,

Maybe he could have supported the opinions of the people he’s supposed to “represent”…?

catloaf ,

By “for” they mean “in favor of”, right?

Also, the past tense is “milkshook”.

HeathenPope ,

Could’ve been worse. Could’ve been a shooting game.

I criticize the criticizers.

cashmaggot ,

It's a protest. I mean pride itself is a protest for the rights of the LGBTQA+ So like...what!? When did we stop permitting a wide variety of opinions, ideas and expressions? So freakin' bananers.

NegativeInf ,

We should take it back to the original pride and throw bricks at the cut out of Nigel Farage.

cashmaggot ,

Hahaha, I once wrote this whole take it to the streets thing for a buddy of mine. Cause he had the crazy idea of asking my ass to write him a monologue to do. Prompted some strong ass street justice, and definitely was not mixed-company appropriate (gays x straights). He did some monologue from that Radcliff play instead. Made me laugh my ass off. I love that man, what was he thinking =P!?

TAKE IT TO THE STREEETSSS HAHAHAHAHA!

sandbox ,

Why settle for an imitation when you can have the real thing?
