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 police escorted a huge group of masked men to protest against TR. they are called the ‘Muslim Defence League’.
I can’t imagine that they would lead a masked EDL protest anywhere.
I’m sure there’ll be people on here leaping to the defence of this double standard though 🤷‍♀️

So if there’s cctv evidence of the pensioner ‘willingly allowing’ someone to pour milkshake over him presumably this evidence will come to light sooner or later?

Is it not obvious? Pensioners are likely to be physically frail and unable or unwilling to defend themselves. Which is why the 19 year old from New Jersey attacked the 81 year old in the Trump MAGA hat. And that Democrat rep filmed himself abusing the old woman who was protesting outside an abortion clinic. Attacking the elderly is easy as the chance of retaliation is reduced. And self-described 'progressive' people label everyone else fascists to justify all such attacks.

That is why they are cunts.

Throwing milkshakes at anyone is wrong. But the sight of that old man really fucking upsets me. He's not likely to swing back, is he. Cowardly little cunts.

this evidence will come to light sooner or later

I assume it will be proved one way or the other

On an earlier twitter link someone said that it was a sad world when they hoped someone had splashed him...because the alternative was worse

“The aggressor was shocked when JP turned round and smacked him on the beak for his efforts“
I much prefer Ed Miliband’s stylish response.

Hopefully he'll be a bit more careful when opening his cherry yogurt today.

What did ed do?

“Throwing milkshakes at anyone is wrong. But the sight of that old man really fucking upsets me. He's not likely to swing back, is he. Cowardly little cunts.”

And if it turns out to be a “stunt” will you say “Oh, poor little old man- he didn’t really know what he was doing?”

“The perfect victim” mentality is alive and well here.

I thought we had a “we believe you” policy on Mumsnet?

You appear to resent the deference and respect that is traditionally accorded to the elderly.

I don't use belittling language like that as I know too fucking well what dementia is.

Thank you coq

I know what dementia is too. I’m not stupid enough to classify a whole generation as frail or vulnerable though. I’m a pensioner and l’m neither nor are any of my friends.

It was obviously a stunt.

Ok. You're a pensioner. I'm a very fit and strong 34 year old. No way would it be right for me, or my 40 year old rugby playing brothers, to assault you.

If this point is controversial to you merely because the victim in the given case was pro Brexit, you need your moral code resetting. You don't go for people who are physically weaker than you are, ffs.

The yoghurt is the true victim. I wonder if it was a posh one or a multipack one. Hmmm.

Always a rational argument to call your opponent thick.

Irrational arguments are perfectly legal. Physical assault is not.

It wouldn’t be right for you or your brothers to assault me however old I was. However, if I encouraged you to ....

No shit, of course it would be assault. But it would certainly attract more opprobrium from the public and very likely a harsher sentence if my brothers attacked an elderly person rather than each other.

Re: encouragent- consent can be given to assault, but it's not a straightforward issue.

The yoghurt is the true victim
I disagree with yoghurt but will defend the right of any brexist to smear it down their shirts.

What do you mean by encouragement? Having opinions you find abhorrent? Not too far from saying a woman encouraged a man to rape her because of how she was dressed, is it?

“I thought we had a “we believe you” policy on Mumsnet?”

We do. And I did. Until evidence emerged that it didn’t happen the way it was reported.

“You appear to resent the deference and respect that is traditionally accorded to the elderly.

I don't use belittling language like that as I know too fucking well what dementia is.”

Nobody should assault anyone in any way. However, I give deference and respect to those that deserve it. The evidence suggests that this man doesn’t.

Nice use of dementia as a “gotcha” though.

Looking at that thread analysing the 'event', I think it has the makings of a thriller; who should direct it; Oliver Stone or Tarantino?

Some have suggested Onken yoghurt in key role. I am not convinced.

I think

Director: Scorsese
Yoghurt splattered man: Michael Caine
Yoghurt: I think Müller would give a nice European flavour but I suspect Lancashire Farm might be more in keeping
