There’s really no bad reason to shake up Nigel’s day.
Milkshaking & Pieing political figures is such a great protest. No real harm is done, but a point gets made. Of course I doubt Nigel has enough self reflection to think they need to change anything about their behavior, so “shrug emoji”.
Also “banana”? Why don’t we have this on this side of the pond?
More of this, please.
“My milkshake brings all the boys from Scotland Yard…”
And they’re like: “Please, do it some more!”
Farage was milkshaked before in Newcastle in 2019, when he was “leader” of the “Brexit Party”.
No cement? Oh well.
Banana? Maybe the person wanted him to just look at it.
Not sure it’s a good idea. It allows him to play the victim and it puts him back in the centre of the media’s attention.
Farage came unstuck yesterday when a series of journalists asked him awkward questions about why he’s changed his mind about standing. We need more of that, not these stunts.
I disagree. We need BOTH.
These politicians need to viscerally understand that no, people don’t like them.

More milkshakes for me.
What!?!? You guys don’t have banana milk shakes? That may be more newsworthy, over here.
Of course it’s a good idea.
You can’t simply undo centuries of Grand British Tradition just because some Niggle Unhinge is allergic to bananas (wishful thinking).
The Great Milkshaking of Charles The Oneth led to the original parliament of Oliver Crumpet.
Without Milkshake, Elizabeth the 1 would nary have floated upon the coat of the Great Dread Pirate Roberts Walter Raleigh.
In short, without the advent of the Scottish Laird McDonald’s most infathomable and reckless weapon, The Abominable SnowShake, the World as we know it would be a very different place.
It would be less frothy, for a start.
