    He should just be happy that they’re not putting rocks in the milkshakes before throwing them.

    No decent person in the article criticized the game. It’s just Farage and his friend trying to play a victim card.

    “And frankly, Chesterfield Pride needs to grow up, because they would not accept this if this was against a gay politician.”

    If Farage was gay people would still throw milkshakes at him. Right wing politicians tend to concentrate on person’s identity and not what they say, because their own platform is just (conservative) identity politics without any policy to actually help people.

      If Farage was gay, people might be more inclined to throw milkshakes at him. People aren’t big fans of traitors.

    It’s a protest. I mean pride itself is a protest for the rights of the LGBTQA+ So like…what!? When did we stop permitting a wide variety of opinions, ideas and expressions? So freakin’ bananers.

        Hahaha, I once wrote this whole take it to the streets thing for a buddy of mine. Cause he had the crazy idea of asking my ass to write him a monologue to do. Prompted some strong ass street justice, and definitely was not mixed-company appropriate (gays x straights). He did some monologue from that Radcliff play instead. Made me laugh my ass off. I love that man, what was he thinking =P!?

        TAKE IT TO THE STREEETSSS HAHAHAHAHA!

    “I’m all for a laugh, but this goes too far,” Farage said on Thursday. A Derbyshire local agreed, saying the game was “not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.

    If only irony could throw milkshakes…

    Is the political class that chemically castrated Alan Turing for being gay ultimately causing his suicide bitching about a parlor game?

    Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.

    We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.

      You’re mixing up traditions there, one is a cooling summer time activity, the other is reserved for helping light up the long winter nights (also - No Nige November has a nice ring to it 🤔), we can observe both!

    By “for” they mean “in favor of”, right?

    Also, the past tense is “milkshook”.
