FATALITY!
Props to the photographer ready with the optimal camera settings.
"Wait, is that a milkshake?"
switches to max iso and 1/8000
Anyone have the soggy, sticky aftershot?
I mean The Independent isn't that bad of a news source...
Would like to point out how clean everyone else is that was a high roll
When I got to the milkshake impact picture I thought to myself “How does someone just impromptu throw a milkshake? Did she practice or something? My aim would be terrible. … Should I practice throwing milkshakes?”
And then I got to that last picture where it appears the shake chucker is a certified shake sniper, and I realized I should practice throwing them! That woman is a rare talent, and I’d certainly be in the lower third of the bell curve for precision if I tried to deliver a dessert the same way.

This guys saving some on his lip for a snack later.
Billy Blueshirt already applauding.
There's a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.
She really does look pretty similar especially in the profile headshot
How could he be so dense to think these pics wouldn't come to light?
You're asking how could Farage be so dense?
But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it's not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

Thanks for that. I left Twitter in Nov 22, so I can't follow the interesting threads anymore.

Apparently that's a different person. More on this as it develops. Over to Emperor with sports news.
What a weird publicity stunt this would be. Do people actually feel bad for him or something? I'm from the US and only seem to hear about Nigel when he gets hit in the face with a milkshake or says something horrendous

I like that this has become a sort of election tradition now lol.
If I can propose a slight tweak, if you know he's heading your way might I suggest buying the milkshake about a week beforehand to allow it to reach it's full potential? Let it level up, so to speak.
DM: "Are snowflakes making bioweapons against Nigel?"
Rember when that dipshit Andy ngo got milkshakes and chids were trying to argue it wad assault because it was actually concrete not milkshake.
I'm not saying it was concrete, I'm just saying that's an interesting thought exercise.

Deserved. How many elections has he already lost? He needs to get in the sea already.
His angry little face every time in Newsnight's compilation of election result announcements, followed by him having a temper tantrum at a BBC interviewer asking about all his losses. Gold.
He's likely to do worse now than in 2015 (his best result to date) when he was agitating for Brexit, notwithstanding dark funding & assistance from Twitter's new owner, as many of those who thought they wanted to leave the EU have realised it was a mistake.

Her: "My milkshake brings all the boys from the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours."
Scotland Yard: "Damn right, it's better than yours."

Is this becoming a UK tradition?
With Farage? Yes.
Nice.
Great username btw
Right back at you my winged friend.
So Starmer got glittered. Nigel got his traditional milkshaking. What's Rishi gonna get?
Voted out
Oh sweet Christ I hope you're right 🤞
