The evidence is actually in the photograph or is she hanging out for more publicity or it's not assault but the charges will be reduced?

After Trump's dodging a bullet at the weekend, Farage's dousing with a milkshake seems oh-so-very-British.

She's an attention seeker and will milk this for all it's worth.

[Mussels]

I'd love to know what her defence is, will she claim she was doing it to prevent a bigger crime?

[gremlin]

I believe Farage was quite shaken.

Oops. I didn't even realise my pun

[Yambo]

I guess the defence think that there's enough people who can't stand Farage so the jury will be loaded in her favour.

She's stupid of course, easily seen by too much lip filler.

Is it assault if you were paid as part of a publicity stunt?

[Bigjawa]

She should be jailed for wasting a banana mikshake!

[Mussels]

not guilty to assault by beating and criminal damage.

Maybe the police and CPS wanted her to get off but had to be seen to do something so they chose the most exaggerated charge they could.

To be fair, chucking a milk-based product at El Farrago is almost a traditional English election activity these days.

Nobody died or even got a hurty ear...

Would you accept it if done to you?

If you're going to live at the extreme end of politics, then you have to take the extreme end of politics.

It's like being a member of this forum: a certain amount of piss taking has to be accepted and acknowledged as the price of stating an opinion. (No offense to you Weeksy).

Earlier, some little le chav shouted I was a connard from his nobby hatchback and then sped off.

Same kind of deal really, except I don't have a fan club to get indignant on my behalf.

Considering the vote share % he got, i'd say he is more mainstream than extreme now.

You know the rules: Anybody to my right is extreme right wing. That's how it works these days.

That's rather missing the point - I'm not an attention-seeking populist demagogue. Also, my comment was not intended to be entirely serious.

Ummmm is it ? Is it really ? So if you're attention seeking you can be assaulted without consequence ? WTF. No wonder this world is full of nutters.

That wasn't politics, it was murder.
