To think throwing milkshakes over people is disgusting?

[GrumpyCatLives]

So apparently it’s okay to chuck milkshakes over people we disagree with?

Now, I do not like Tommy Robinson, Carl Sargon, or Farage. However, I think that chucking cold food at them, or threatening to, is pathetic. If you disagree with them, then debate them. Take down their argument intelligently. Chucking a cheap milkshake makes you look like a toddler.

The then labour government pushed away the very people they were supposed to represent (the working class) and so they turned to UKIP. They were then branded thick and racist again, and so the divide widens and widens.

But lots of UKIP supporters are thick and racist. Those that aren't......well if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

jasjas Soubry needs protection from right wingers

So you are saying left wingers need protection from right-wing insults, but right wingers should not have protection from left wingers and it should be encouraged to milkshake/assault them.

Which is the whole point of this thread! Why is it ok to attack one political view but not another and who gets to decide which political view is acceptable/allowed. aka a fascist police state.

rip free speech

Please get out and vote everyone. Not as messy as milky beverages

Appalling behaviour, just because a politician has a different view there is no justification for throwing things at them.

But lots of UKIP supporters are thick and racist. Those that aren't......well if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

That's like saying if you vote Labour you are anti Semitic or support TRAs in excluding women from the party who don't accept that twaw. Those Labour supporters who don't - well if you lie down with dogs etc

See how ridiculous that is? We as a society, really do have to move away from accusing anyone with a different viewpoint of being fascists/thick/racist/terf/insult of choice

You've a point there!
However, Farage was protected by Police and his own security, Soubry had none of that, indeed the Police nearby did nothing to protect her.

Farages level of debate has bought this upon himself, until his poster depicting 1000s of african/middle eastern people marching toward the camera with the slogan "Breaking point" on it, i thought he was just an idiot.
Now, i see him as a very divisive Mosely type figure, oh & his "i'll take up a rifle" comment was an incitement to terrorism.

I don't recall Grieve, Soubry et al saying they want violence on the streets if Brexit goes ahead?

As i said earlier, i think the throwing of milkshake is counter productive and will win him votes.

Aside, Brexit originally, wasn't really a left/right thing but the far right has pinned itself to the brexit cause, the far let is still generally speaking, pro brexit.

Why? We need to move away from physically assaulting people with different views, but most on this thread think is ok to physically assault people. But I'm quite happy with calling people who support UKIP or the like thick racists.

We shouldn't be throwing milkshakes, but we must be left to enjoy some avenues of pleasure.

In case people think I’m exaggerating about the threat to GC feminists, here’s an enlightening post about an upcoming event in the US (Sargon is Carl Benjamin). While I don’t think milkshakes or anything would be thrown at her (US takes this more seriously) it shows that the sentiment is creeping towards people who have views many of us here agree with. Also, the “fascist” label seems lightly tossed about on people they just simply disagree with.

Is anyone still defending it?

Tommy Robinson ➡ Nigel Farage ➡ Brexit Party supporter. Next it will be anyone vaguely right wing or as PP have said gender critical feminists or anyone else who gets labelled "Nazi" or "fascist" which is basically anyone who stands up to the ever moving extremes of progressivism.

What is that @Release?

He's a Brexit Party supporter who got a milkshake thrown at him today.

Do people honestly think it's going to stop with Robinson/Sargon/Farage? And with milkshakes?

I don’t mind milkshakes being thrown at the SYL and NF of the world but that’s out of order.

And I actually am surprised that it happened. Politicians are one thing but ordinary members of the public, no. That’s not ok.

I'm surprised you're surprised. Once you normalise cuntish behaviour, guess what, it becomes the norm.

You expect people to only throw stuff at people you hate? Who made you the "acceptable to throw stuff at" police?

Next week, when a woman walking into an abortion clinic gets milkshaked by someone who things she's a lowlife, all the pearl clutchers on here will be raging, without seeing the irony in their anger.

There’s a difference. I can’t be arsed to go into the nuances of it. I should be working right now. But there is a marked difference in someone putting himself in the public domain and inciting racism and hate, and a woman making a private decisions to go for a medical procedure.

If you don’t already know that I don’t have the time or inclination to explain it to you. 🤷‍♀️

OK, Ivana...perhaps, when you have time, you can post a full list of who we can throw milkshakes at, and in what circumstances, so the whole country will know what's acceptable.

Because clearly, you are the purveyor of this knowledge, and your moral stance is the one that counts.

In the meantime, I'll alert Reuters to put out a news bulletin to the effect that milkshake throwing should be suspended until Ivana on MN has got back to us with the rules of combat.

I'm so glad we've cleared that up!

inciting racism and hate

But Ivanapee surely you are aware that many people accuse anyone who supports Brexit of inciting racism and hate. And isn't wearing a Brexit Party rosette putting yourself in the public domain?

As LifeCraft says, if we go down the road of "If I decide your views are unacceptable, I can justifiably throw milkshakes at you", this is what we get.

Btw do you think the people who threw milkshakes at TR and NF should be prosecuted? Because if you don't, you are undermining one of the basic facets of our law, that everyone is equal under the law, and your opinion of that person or their views is irrelevant to them being due equality under the law.

As the old saying goes one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. Different sides of the same coin. Their views may be abhorrent to some but everyone on here who thinks this is acceptable behaviour would be outraged if it was the other way round. Loutish behaviour is loutish behaviour regardless of the perpetrators or the people the behaviour is aimed at.

The fact that some people think such behaviour is acceptable is worrying . We live in a free country there are quite specific laws regarding free speech. Appalling that people think they bully people through throwing things.

I see ukip and the brexit party as the modern day equivalents of the National Socialist Workers party of the 1920s.

People canvassing for them are the useful fools every dictator seeking power needs in the early stages.

Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although this was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders, and in the 1930s the party's main focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes

Note it took a decade before the Nazis turned on minorities.

Farage has played the same populist game, blaming elites, foreigners, the political classes......as has Trump.... and its going really well isn't?

Going for an abortion has become politicised. How long before women here get milkshakes thrown at them because others disapprove of our right to choose? It's the same when you throw milkshake over anyone else who is going about their legal business. It doesn't matter who they are or what they are doing.

I see an old man got milkshake thrown over him today at a polling station because his politics aren't acceptable to some.

I don’t agree with throwing milkshakes. I don’t think that the age of the throwee is remotely relevant.

The whole thing has become a Game Of Throwns.
