Far-right British politician Nigel Farage received a sticky cold shower on Monday, much to the internet’s collective glee.
The Brexit Party leader was making a campaign stop at Newcastle when a man walked up and hurled a milkshake at him.
In the video, a dripping Farage can be heard grumbling to his security team that he could’ve seen the attack coming “a mile away.”
Paul Crowther, the milkshake-wielder, was immediately arrested. He told the Guardian that it was a banana and salt caramel milkshake and that he had zero regrets.
“I was quite looking forward to it, but I think it went on a better purpose,” Crowther said.

if someone threw a milkshake at me, I would simply tear off the breakaway suit I was wearing and then defeat them with logic

Dear people of Scotland.

Have fun.

The Brexit Party: we have nothing to fear from Brexit – we survived the Blitz!

Besides leading the charge to Brexit, Farage has made several appearances on this side of the pond to boost President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. He even became a subject of scrutiny in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
