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.

Yeah, normal people no. Disgusting fascist pieces of crap, they should be thankful it's only milkshake. I'd happily throw dog shit at them.

shimmeringwaffle so was it ok when Corbyn was egged? It was after all just an egg?

The man who threw the milkshake over Fascist Farage has been arrested.

Twat doesn't deserve the attention of someone with a milkshake. I imagine it'll all be publicity for him.
I don't like the idea of anyone throwing stuff at politicians even scumbags like Faridge. My wish would be for him to be ignored. Sadly, I doubt my wish will be granted.

In general: not okay at all.

In the case of the particular (supposedly) fellow humans in question: I might in fact be willibg to pay for the privilege of milkshaking them myself.

'Female politicians deal with daily death and rape threats, male politicians ban the sale of ice cream near their events. Real life is highlighting the men fear laughter, women fear murder proverb.'

Two wrongs don't make a right; nor should one wrong be laughed off or shrugged off just because the other wrong is greater.

I agree, op. How can you advocate violence? And actually, if you watch footage from "the other side" of the milkshake throwing at tommy Robinson's event, the guy was a loon. There was also a video of a huge guy being started on by tommy thugs. But if you watch the same video from another side, you can see him being aggressive too.

When she walks away, she says “It’s disgusting that the police protect them”. This is our local labour candidate. Slippery slope indeed.

Vote against them, campaign against them, shout when they walk past. But throwing things is beneath contempt and makes your enemy the moral victor

God, the hypocritical intellectual contortions PPs are going through to justify throwing milkshakes at Farage or Robinson (but not anyone on the left, of course not, that would be a disgrace). Some of you even stoop to labelling those you disagree with ‘Nazis’ and therefore justifying that anything can be done to Nazis. How low.

I happen to believe the leader of the opposition is an anti-semite and an apologist for terrorists, far closer to being a Nazi than Farage; do I get the right to throw milkshakes at him? No, of course not.

It’s such a tiresome thing that those on the right expect those on the left to do nothing except hold placards and tut and sigh.

We on the right expect you on the left to have counter-arguments to what we argue for, but you people appear to think you've won the argument, permanently, so all that remains is for you to shut down anyone who disagrees by any means other than debate. Whether it’s sacking people for saying trans women aren’t women or throwing milkshakes at Farage, you do anything other than argue because you have no arguments.

The right gets really angry when those on the left decide to defend themselves and not be murdered in their beds. Funny that!

Sorry, is Nigel Farage going around the country murdering people in their beds? Or Tommy Robinson? I must’ve missed that one.

Farage has promised to go to the front lines with a rifle if his vision of Brexit isn't delivered. He's not just someone with an alternative viewpoint and a right to be heard.

Strongly disagreeing with you is not grounds for denying someone’s right to be heard.

The poblem with these tutting is the complete fetishisation of Democracy.

Yeah. Democracy’s terrible, isn’t it? Sometimes things you disagree with get voted for. And as your point of view is never ever wrong, it shouldn’t be allowed!

Absolutely pathetic behaviour.

Our democracy is for the south east of england. Nothing else.

I'm getting the sense you're quite upset,

I think it was a set up. He's using the same technique as his fellow travellers.

About time. They really had to be pressured into it.

'' the paradox of tolerance:

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.''

@LoveTheLakes40
You must live near me. I don’t think that someone who is trying to become an MP and is Women’s Officer in South Lakes Labour Party should be behaving like that.

Ordinarily I'd agree with you generally.

But I did read yesterday that folk who can afford to 'discuss' fascist politics of hate with fascists are fortunate. For everyone else, to whom they are repugnant and would directly threaten their quality of life and that of their loved ones (which includes me), a brief shower of milkshake is mild.

I wouldn't do the dog shit though. I have some restraint.

I think it’s pathetic. Argue, debate, protest...but don’t stoop to assault. It’s a slippery slope.

I am complete torn between thinking violence is never ok and absolutely loving seeing Nigel Farage and friends dropping with milkshake and being humiliated.

Nige said he would “pick up a rifle” if brexit didn’t go his way and carried on campaigning immediately after the death of Jo Cox, so he deserves no sympathy. Yaxley Lennon was harassing the guy who threw one at him so ditto.

I think the way we beat fascism is to laugh at it and to make it an object of ridicule. The milkshakes seem to be achieving this so on balance I’m going to go for YABU - let the milkshakes fly.

Well it's only slippery with milkshake on it.

So long as they are scorned and made to look stupid and 'unpopular' then I don't mind how.

Hmm. Violence begets violence, concerned where we’ll end up.

Dangerous territory - who gets to decide who is in the wrong?

If someone with leanings to the right threw a milkshake over Abbott, or Corbyn would that be applauded?

When we lose the ability to have a rational conversation and resort to any physical attack, it sets a really scary precedent. Milk shakes are ok? Acid? What about egg? Howe about being slapped in the face with a fish? Still ok? How about stones? Baseball bats?

I know it is an extreme view, I am trying to portray that if you normalise this behavior then the bar as to what is acceptable gets raised, without us even noticing.
