Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage had a Five Guys milkshake thrown over him in Newcastle upon Tyne on 20 May 2019 by a 32-year-old Brexit opponent,[12] who was arrested by police at the scene for common assault.[13] Farage later blamed the rise of milkshaking on “radicalised Remainers” and said that it disrupted campaigning.[14] A spoof JustGiving campaign was set up to crowdfund the purchase of a new suit for Farage following the milkshaking, while instead donating its proceeds to a cancer charity.[15] A few days later, Farage was reportedly trapped on his campaign bus after arriving in Kent to speak to supporters, as a group of people holding milkshakes watched nearby.[16] In June 2019, Farage’s milkshaker pleaded guilty to common assault and criminal damage to Farage’s microphone, and was given 150 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £520.[17] An online fundraiser raised more than £650 to cover this cost, within hours of sentencing.[17]
A McDonald’s restaurant in Edinburgh was asked by local police to stop selling the drink during Nigel Farage’s campaign visit in May 2019.[18] Burger King responded on Twitter by advertising its milkshakes in Scotland.[2]
In June 2024, whilst campaigning as Reform UK’s candidate in the Clacton constituency for the 2024 general election Nigel Farage was hit with a McDonald’s banana milkshake thrown by a 25-year-old woman who was later arrested.[36]
Shame no one thought to give him a milkshake.
Is he like lactose intolerant?
