Denying assault? really

[Mr Moofo]

Just to broaden the subject, as everyone seems to believe Farage needs a twatting, there is a footballer named James McClean, famous for his pro republican, anti English, anti poppy / colonialism etc. He likes to poke the bear / stand up for his views

Does anyone have the right to throw a milkshake in his face or punch him, just because they don’t agree which is provocative stance.
Obviously the answer is no - so you don’t have the right to do that to public figures

He polarises opinions in very much the same way his best buddy Trump does. In the USA they use guns to show their displeasure, in the UK it's milkshakes.

I've been displeased with Rishi Sunak for the last two years, I'm currently displeased with Sir Kneelalot Starmer. I haven't (yet) had the urge to throw a milkshake at either of them. Is there something wrong with me?

Yes, possibly. You have failed to mention Liz Truss.

Lots of people I didn't mention:
Jeremy Hunt
Diane Abbott
Teresa May
Sir Patrick (aka The Man Who Killed Liberty) Vallance

There's more, lots more
"I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!"

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.

If you read my words I didn't say it was without consequence, more that Farage seems to attract this kind of unwanted attention by the very nature of his Marmite persona. It would help if folks responded to what I actually said, rather than what they wished I'd said.

That's like saying women shouldn't wear 'revealing' clothing because it invites sexual violence.

Bollocks. You are confusing the way someone acts, speaks and behaves with the way they dress.

Unsurprising, of course ...

[mangocrazy]

Never address the question at hand, just make condescending remarks.

Unsurprising of course.
