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.

Yoghurt is annoying but it doesn't usually attack.

Well live yoghurt can be very unpredictable indeed.

The referendum was a binary question leave /remain. It did not inform on hardness of Brexit. Don't know where you have dreamed that one up from!

From the actual result. It was a daft referendum. Like opening a restaurant menu and having 2 options, meat dish or vegetarian dish.

You might want the meat dish, but not want a 16oz rare steak. Or you might want kosher or halal. Or meat, with a few vegetables. There are lots of variations in between.

We can leave the UK with no deal, and with a deal that gets us out but leaves us connected in many ways. Or something between those 2. A 52:48 vote is indicative of the latter option. Especially as the whole leave campaign was based on the EU being keen to offer us a great deal, which we now know was bullshit.

Remain lost. Hard Brexit lost. Deal with it.

Yoghurt contains live culture- no wonder it’s not welcome in the Brexit party......

We need to move away from infantilisation of women and depicting them as victims but it’s fine to do exactly the same thing to people of either sex when they attain a certain age? Oh the irony.

Start another thread and tag me there if you want- it's off-topic.

I'm saddened by the reaction of many of my Remain friends to this and am hiding this thread now.

The Man of the Paypal is to be investigated by the EU fraud watchdog.
Its acronym OLAF is the same as that of this delicious recipe

Do you want to build a snowman…milkshake? If so, follow along as I teach you how to make an Olaf figurine completely out of marshmallows and candy! It’s the perfect topper to any frosty treat or my personal favorite, milkshakes! It might be cold outside today, but the cold never bothered me anyway

Good

Although to be fair maybe he was just trying to show how corrupt EU MEPs can be

I don’t think it matters who’s investigating NF or what financial irregularities may ( or may not ) be found.
If the general public like what he’s saying and he gets the votes, that’s enough.

So criminal activity is fine as long as everyone likes you? Populism at its best.

What nonsense.

A criminal is a criminal - no matter if members of the general public like what he's saying.

But as long as what he’s saying isn’t criminal, then that’s all that matters.
To the many people who like him at least.

Has NF actually been convicted of a crime?
I don’t follow him that closely tbh.

So he can do as many criminal things as he likes as long as what he says is legal? Bloody hell and these people are allowed to vote.

You're correct @Langrish ( digs yesterdays left over half eaten sarnie out of bin )

@Woman19. They do attack, they're twats for it. I only have to peel the lid back a couple of centimeters and the bastard leaps out at me, covering my nice clean top in a murderous rage.

Tbh I think they're all lucky they're not having lumps of shit chucked at them but that's just me 🤷🏼‍♀️

The chappie that stood for Nige's brexit party in the North East lives in France. Most odd.

"If you disagree with them, then debate them."

How exactly do you debate someone who says "you are inferior because you're black" or "all Muslims ought to be shot"? Was that where the Jews went wrong in the 30s: they didn't debate Hitler enough or they would have made him change his ways? How was my son supposed to debate the teacher who sat in class and told all his mates that immigrants should be deported? How was he supposed to debate his mates after class?

So you believe a tweet from a fantasist against a grown woman is worse than an actual physical attack on a pensioner?

There are some pretty good reasons to believe the attack never happened. Also this sweet old pensioner is the same man who shot an unarmed civilian in NI (shooting admitted in court, victim got compensated) but managed to get off on the plea of stressful situation for soldiers.

There's a thread in the Feminist board right now about people calling for Janice Turner to have milkshake thrown at her, along with other journalists, for the 'crime' of attending a meeting to defend existing equalities legislation.
This is what happens when you CBA to defend the rights of those you disagree with - society slides not so gradually into a place where people get punished for wrong think. It's very easy to find yourself in this position.
Milkshake today, acid tomorrow?
The bigger picture is that you are not defending TR or NF, you are defending your own right to hold an opinion without punishment. That's what freedom is and some of you are so quick to throw it away.

Spot on.

you are defending your own right to hold an opinion without punishment

The ECHR which the brexits are so keen to abolish, defends exactly that Human Right.

{Especially as the whole leave campaign was based on the EU being keen to offer us a great deal, which we now know was bullshit. }

Don't wish to spoil the party but negotiations with the EU haven't even started yet with the exception of the exit bill (£39 Billion).
The rest of the WA is the legal process described in full, not the outcome. The PD which can be renegotiated sets out which of the items in the WA will be enacted and when. The WA is in effect a 'menu' and the UK can chose whether to remove itself from all EU cooperation, or a variety of intermediate positions (Mr Barnier's staircase diagram) with solutions like the Canadian or Norwegian models.

Excellent post IWannaSeeHowItEnds

Yup. If we allow milkshakes to be thrown at one person, we have to allow them to be thrown at everyone.

I wonder when our society changed to thinking that assault was ok under certain circumstances?
