Declan Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 It’s highly unlikely that as a publicity stunt Reform would throw a milk shake at their leader. (Although the Lib Dem’s?) How does it benefit them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical "still got their head in the sand, saying nananananananana" but still can't point to a concrete benefit of Brexit outside of the sovereignty fallacy (you know, the one that the Tory government published a white paper about categorically stating that the sovereignty fallacy is just that, a fallacy).

No, the allegation is that it was the partner of Emily Hewartson who threw. Perhaps put up to it by Hewartson. Begs the question, is Thomas-Bowen the partner of Hewartson?

Well if you were right (Which you're not) then it would also be true of all recent political/terrorist attacks in Britain: 7/7; London Bridge; Borough Market; Westminster, Manchester Arena; Liverpool Women's Hospital; David Amess murder; Lee Rigby; Reading stabbings; Parson's Green; Glasgow Airport...etc. Were all these attacks the fault of Farage, Tommy Robinson, and your imaginary far-right ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been two near fatal attacks on European politicians in the last fortnight alone. Farage could've been another. Some of you think that's funny and an excuse for a laugh. Well I don't, and that girl would definitely have got my milkshake if I'd had one to hand. I'd happily pay the fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think those are in no way related to the UK governments involvement in interfering with and directly/indirectly attacking large parts of the Middle East? Also... Quote your imaginary far-right ? Imaginary? You're either wilfully ignorant or just plain ignorant. Just what the far-right rely on.

It's almost certainly someone out for a laugh and their 15 minutes of fame. Therefore I don't see it's worth comparing it with an intentionally lethal assault...

Extremists create reactions with other extremists. Right and Left wing extremists are as bad as each other.

Right and Left wing extremists are as bad as each other. Religious extremism is bad as and connected with political extremism, Comparing right wing and left wing terrorism is a bit of apples and oranges affair. Left wing terrorism tends to be "social issue" targeted and generally are against physical "hard" targets (animal testing labs, banking institutes, etcs) and designed to be "inconveniencing", where as right wing tends to be "political or group" targeted and generally target individuals/people and designed to have more "body count" (political/government, social groups (LGBTQ+ for example), etc). Also, as a government moves more right wing, protestors are more frequently classified as terrorists (or enemies of the "status quo") especially if they are protesting against said government. The "rise" of Islamic terrorism since the 2000's (that is not to say that it did not exist before then, but was not as prevalent before 9/11) complicates this conversation. A comparison of political violence by left-wing, right-wing, and Islamist extremists in the United States and the world | PNAS The above is a very interesting read on the subject.
