Man who threw milkshake at far-right leader ordered to pay suit-cleaning bill
AFAIK he's more than got it back from Go Fund Me donations.

It's a sad day for the world when McDonald's is more anti-fascist than the president of the biggest country.

Whilst not mentioned in the CNN article It’s also been reported by the BBC and others that he lost his job over the incident, has received threats, and needs protection as well.
He’s learnt the hard way that a milkshake to the face is not an acceptable political argument!

Come on angery penguin, you can't characterise anyone right of centre as 'far-right'. Being pro-brexit is hardly far-right, jesus. Also, fascist? What?
You know this lot. They hand out the far right label like candies at Christmas. Ask them to define "far right" though and you'll be met with all sorts of fury, and scrambling for any unrelated topic to divert attention.

It's trolling. It's what AngryPenguin does all the time and you've both fallen for it. Try engaging your brains for a change.
I mean, I would have cleaned it for a tenner.
Personally I wouldn't have chosen the word "man" as the best term to describe that milkshake chucking hooligan.
Didn't Nigel Farage publicly thank the lout and offer to pay his legal fees?
Within a day of the incident- after realizing that the assault was a pr goldmine he could milk for publicity, donations and political advantage.
Fortunately so many journalists, Labour Party members and politicians from all parties have firmly spoken out against all physical assaults/violent threats against politicians.

Leftist extremists call anyone and everyone who disagrees with anything that they do and say a Nazi, a far right extremists or an MRA. It's their way of hurting the reputation of those people they malign with these titles so that nobody listens to what they have to say, but it always winds up having the opposite affect. It always encourages more people to listen and it usually causes people to hate leftists more.

Let's see if they continue this precedent when one of their precious leftie symbols takes a milkshake to the the face. I predict jail time
Except he didn't throw it at his face. He threw it over his suit. If he threw the milkshake on his face (and maybe the cup too) then he'd probably be jailed if said assault caused serious injury.
Whether we jail someone for assault usually depends on what happens. Milkshake over a suit (with some splashing over someone else's face) is assault but it's not worth jail time.

McDonald's stopped selling them. It was BK that stuck two fingers up to the man.
Griffin is "extreme right". Farage has to be "far right" as Cameron was plain "right".
We should really have a system like wind directions so we can arrange people more accurately. Cameron would be more "right-centre-right", Bojo perhaps "right-far right-right" and Farage "far right-right far right-far right". We would all have a clearer idea of what everyone was talking about.

Was this jail time justified in your eyes? Was Corbyn subject to injury via egging?

The egg 'throw' at Corbyn was a hit directly to the side of their face, just with an egg in their hand.. I think the jail time is justifiable.
Throwing milkshake over someone's suit is trivial compared to being hit on the side of the face.

Just shows the levels of knowledge and awareness amongst Leavers. Corbyn is pro-Brexit! Without his support for it, Brexit would already be a dead duck.
