Lets hope the Electoral Comission pay a visit to the people vote

 

This means that donations over £500 have to be verified as permissible, and those over £7,500 published by the Electoral Commission, as required by law.

We have, therefore, set the donation limit to £499 because in a regulated period, any donation for campaign purposes below £500 is considered a small donation, which means that individual donors don’t have to be checked.

But getting back to facts. The milk shake was hurled in a plastic container. Plastic as we know is a big environmental problem.  Aaron Banks provides Farage with a Range Rover.  As we know Range Rovers are not environmentally friendly.  The conclusion can thus be drawn that whatever Farage does does not help the planet.

Further the person who threw the milkshake admits it was a waste of a good milkshake. Farage lambasted his thug bodyguards by asking why they did not see it coming. Therefore the conclusion is that Farage also thought it was a waste of a good milkshake or perhaps that was not the flavour he liked ?

What on earth are you going on about.....So now Farage motor is all wrong, his protection are thugs and you have a fixation with milkshakes...

 

To me it has become clear you are either trolling or have a problem.  ????

How disingenuous can you get? Why haven't Reuters (or other so-called news outfits, for that matter) reported on what Tommy Robinson - "alias Stephen Yaxley-Lennon") is putting up with daily on the campaign trail?

 

Videos widely available on social media show him not just getting a milkshake in the face, but also being assaulted - grabbed, spat at and punched - in towns across the North West, which he is seeking to represent as an MEP.

 

Even worse, bottle and brick-throwing Muslim and Antifi-style hooligans have targeted bystanders and even police, who have been out in force but seemingly unable or unwilling to apply the law and make arrests.

 

Ironically, some of the worst violence has been in towns with large immigrant populations, where mainly-Pakistani Muslim rape gangs rampaged unchecked for years because police and other authorities turned a blind eye.

 

Tommy Robinson, whatever his views, is a legitimate candidate and must be afforded the protection he needs to campaign. Otherwise, the streets of Britain are soon going to resemble those of the Weimar Republic in the days when Hitler gangs went around beating up the political opposition. And we all know how that ended up.

The facts are that the milk shake was hurled from a plastic container, which was then discarded by the lefty soy boy as litter.

 

Q. So, from the above, who are the people fouling the planet? 

A. Remainers.

All the major papers have written the story as though TR supporters did the attacking.

Everyone should watch the video on Rebel Media.

Sorry, I forgot that some people do not want to watch anything right-wing, even videos.

BTW. The police actually escorted the brick and scissor throwing "Asians" to the TR family rally. Many young children in attendance there.

Man charged with throwing a milkshake at Brexit Party's Farage

LONDON (Reuters) - A man has been charged with common assault and criminal damage after a milkshake was thrown over Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain's Brexit Party, police said on Tuesday.

 

Farage, one of the leading figures in the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, was covered in the milkshake at a campaign event for the European Parliament elections in the northern English city of Newcastle.

 

He is the latest anti-EU figure to be doused with the drink by protesters ahead of Thursday's vote.

 

Northumbria Police said they had now charged a 32-year-old man, Paul Crowther, over the incident. He is due to appear in court later on Tuesday.

 

"At around 1 p.m., a 55-year-old man had a milkshake thrown at him in the city centre," police said in a statement. "A 32-year-old man was detained at the scene and arrested by police."

 

Farage's newly-formed pro-Brexit party is predicted by opinion polls to win the most support in Britain at the elections later this week, promising to take the country out of the European Union without a deal. [nL5N22S1XE]

 

"Sadly some remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible," Farage tweeted after the incident. "For a civilised democracy to work you need the losers consent, politicians not accepting the referendum result have led us to this."

 

Farage, a 55-year-old former commodities broker, played an instrumental role in persuading Britain's mainstream political parties to hold a referendum on leaving the European Union in 2016, and then convincing voters to back Brexit during the subsequent campaign.

 

Britain remains deeply divided over the issue and parliament has been unable to agree when, how or even if the country should leave the bloc.

Possibly because it has degenerated into a pathetic vehicle for the loony ultra-left  - one that automatically does hit-and-runs on anybody even slightly right of centre.

 

The result: six years of falling circulation and news pages larded with embarrassing appeals for cash hand-outs from readers.

 

Sad.

This is the next stage of development if the Remainers & Leftists currently favoured political assaults are not dealt with properly. Last weekend in Oldham, while a MEP canvassed.

 

 

An inconvenient Truth for all the Remainers and Leftists.

Well of course this is not the way to do political discourse. Physical attacks on candidates are illegal and the law should, and generally does, deal with them accordingly. I am not aware of the specific penalties written in law relating to milkshakes, maybe it depends on the flavour. It is indeed a disgusting drink so the fines may be very large. However a sense of proportion is a wonderful thing, see below. (I'm not an Owen Jones fan at all really, but he got the idea right this time IMHO)      Sorry I can't understand the reply here, outside my set of cultural references I suspect.

Is that Owen Jones who wrote "Chavs: The Demonisation of the Working Class and The Establishment – And How They Get Away With It" and "Farage winning would be UK's worst legacy" and "Brexit has robbed Labour of its insurgency. It’s time to claw it back"

No agenda, bias or self interest there then!

Owen Jones: "Spare me the tears over a milkshake." That's from the left's biggest drama queen going. How would the precocious little princess have wailed if someone did that to him? He can't even stay in a TV interview without throwing a hissy fit.

I'm going for Nigel the democrat as is all other like minded people who voted to leave the EU and have since found their vote has been thrown into the refuse bin. 

So many people are trying their damnest to crucify him at the moment and all they are doing is bolstering his popularity, the dirty tricks brigade are in full swing at the moment and everything is backfiring on themselves.

I want to believe him as much as you want to slander him.

Yea! Nigel's a real "Man of the Paypal"
