Mr Farage also spoke with shoppers and while standing by a market stall selling eggs, joked that after being covered in a milkshake last week he did not want eggs to be the next thing thrown at him.
Someone ready the eggs

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

freeze the egg first and pelt it as hard as possible
Rotten ones would be better. It’s damn hard to get that smell out.
Having been hit in the eye with a frozen egg, I can't condone this as it's like throwing a rock at someone and it really hurts. An unfrozen one is safer and far messier, which makes it funnier.
Dude's a far-right lunatic and has some weirdly kind thoughts about Nazis.
Frozen egg seems just fine.
Oh no, you mean he could get injured? God that is so sad 🥺

"I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country," he wrote about the incident.
Assumes that:
- He is The Country
- Only left wingers hate him
If there really was a "left wing mob" out to get him, I think he would be getting attacked with more than one food item every other day.
He loves this. He loves to play the victim. The underdog. Despite being a being a real life racist rich toff caricature.
If what he loves is a hurled brick, he's welcome to as many as he'd like.
Frankly I have no patience for 'that's just want they want!' as a kneejerk response to any backlash against diet Nazis. They'll claim victory no matter what happens. That's part of what makes the fascists. The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
If this pattern means the only headlines about this asshole go 'asshole hit by [object]' - great. Beats reporting any of the garbage flying from his face.

Time to neuter the underdog if you ask me.
Nice!
Yeah, but unfortunately I fully expect some asshat to take it too far and throw something other than a milkshake or other harmless beverage. It would be great if we could just stick to milkshake protests, but humans are garbage.
Well seeing as the girl who threw the milkshake is being charged with "assault by beating", I wouldn't be surprised if people took it further.
Jfc the world has gone insane. If that's the case, next time just beat him.
Surely they can’t charge all of us with assault, right?
I originally had a switcheroo joke about being an undemocratic Russian stooge, but then I remembered how he and his like stocked the 2016 nutters, and we lost Jo Cox. As much as I don't like the guy no one should be attacked just for standing democratically.
Stop blaming right-wing violence on backlash against right-wing violence.

That thumbnail would make a lovely meme format.
