Janice Turner in The Times today ‘Milkshake Mob’

Offences against the person act offences should be prosecuted if the CPS think there's a case to answer in these alleged milkshake or yoghurt throwing incidents.

As should incitement to violence prosecutions.

The unveiling of the Nazi inspired breaking point posters was followed hours later by the assassination of Jo Cox.

In the words of Janice Turner:

I am a Good Person and therefore everything I do, even a self-evidently bad deed, is rendered good.

OK. Regarding this milkshake stuff. Some context on where and how I'm qualified to comment. I spent 6 years in the US Secret Service as one of its senior CBRN specialists.

The anti-fascists have become the fascists
What do you mean?

And this is why people should be careful when condoning Farage being milkshaked (is this a word now?).

I’m not directly comparing what Farage has said to gender critical feminism but as far as I’m aware he wasn’t breaking any laws. Just because you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t make it acceptable to assault someone

I heard Zoe Williams' idiotic comments about assaults carried out by left-wing people being jokey, ironic, and sort of nice and I heard similar from Helen Lewis.

I find this very worrying. I loathe Farage, but throwing liquid over people is disgusting and no serious journalist should condone it.

I was disappointed at the coverage it got on HIGNFY last night.

The panel were rightly disgusted at violence from right wing politicians, but thought it was funny when right wing politicians were the target.

My work colleague was smirking about the milkshake over Nigel Farage a few days ago. I kept a stony face and said I though it was wrong to physically attack any politician, and I know she regarded me as a party pooper.

I hope she read this today.

Thank you, Janice. I can't imagine how frightening it must be to have liquid thrown at you by a stranger.

I agree. It's like feminism being about supporting the rights of all women, even the women you dislike, even the women whose political views contradict yours, even the women who are transmen. I think Farage is a complete arsehole, responsible for dragging the UK into one of the worst holes ever, potentially responsible for destabilising a large part of Europe, but that does not justify acting violently towards him. It doesn't matter that it was 'only' a milkshake. It was wrong.

Turner's right. I heard Zoe Williams' idiotic comments about assaults carried out by left-wing people being jokey, ironic, and sort of nice and I heard similar from Helen Lewis.

She's right - the best way to avoid being milkshaked (or worse) along with those with whom you agree is to decry the milkshaking of those with whom you disagree.

Nothing new here, but it's particularly relevant to GC feminists as it's easy to see how the moral licence of their baseball bat-wielding, death in grease fire-wishing opponents can easily escalate to real-life (indeed 'literal') violence.

The anti-fascists have become the fascists.

Anyone have a share token for this?

This is precisely what a misnamed 'Anti Facist ' group in Leeds have threatened to do this afternoon to this woman councillor:
