| Farage is the latest victim of a tactic being recently employed by protesters of pro-Brexit parties. A video clip of the aftermath of the incident shows the disgruntled Brexit Party leader being hurriedly led away. Farage can be heard saying, “How did you not stop that?" | |
| Paul Crowther, from Throckley, Newcastle, who is reportedly the perpetrator of the attack on Farage has said it was a £5.25 Five Guys banana and salted caramel milkshake. | |
| Crowther, ostensibly unrepentant, claimed that the “bile and racism he [Farage] spouts is far more damaging” than a bit of milkshake down his suit. | |
| Responding to the milkshake attack, Farage took to Twitter to tell his followers that “some remainers have become radicalised.” He claimed that this type of incident was the consequence of “politicians not accepting the referendum result.” | |
| Last Friday, UKIP EU Parliamentary candidate, Carl Benjamin, had a milkshake hurled at him while canvassing for support in Truro, Cornwall. | |
