I don’t think anyone is “asking for it”.
I just like to keep a bit of perspective.
And whilst I take your point about copycatting, from a legal standpoint we can’t judge this individual on what others might go on to do.
As I say, perspective.
It’s not normalised in society. Hence the uproar.
And to start bringing Jo Cox and David Amess into this conversation is ridiculous.
Two completely different acts with very different motivations and outcomes.
Throwing a milk shake over someone is not a gateway to murdering someone...
Nope. That was allegedly a second person. A male.
I’m glad you’re not a copper.
Additionally, Farage made light of the incident later. He posed for journalists with a tray of milkshakes. Something that will be taken into account when charges are considered.
No, she shouldn’t.
And the police would be very reluctant to criminalise someone for a moment of stupidity.
If it wasn’t a high profile figure that had been assaulted, she wouldn’t have been arrested. Unless she kicked off with the police. Which is a different matter.
I guarantee you that throwing a drink over someone would result in nothing more than a section 35 in the vast majority of cases.
Common assault covers a huge range of actions. Throwing a drink is at the very bottom scale of severity.

We don’t know why the banks have shuttered his accounts or why others are refusing him new ones.
I believe that banks have a legal obligation to provide a basic bank account to anyone that passes their legal criteria.
So I don’t know what that says about someone’s activities if they don’t pass...
Maybe someone’s been doing some digging and maybe Farage is possibly imminently to be exposed as being involved in something rather dodgy?
No bank is going to want to be associated or accused of being complicit with whatever it is he may or may not have been up to, are they?
Maybe they’ve...
It’s Nigel Farage. Racist, fascist toff, spreader of hate, architect of division. A bigoted, self serving, anti-Semitic, hypocrite who has contributed hugely to the downfall of the U.K. and deliberately done more to stir up racial hatred than any other public figure in recent history.
