    God, Nigel Farage is such a cunt. He’s only bloody 60 as well, so we might have to deal with this freak for another 20+ years.

    Bowen deserves a medal.

    Following her sentencing, Farage posted on social media: “We now live in a country where you can assault a Member of Parliament and not go to prison.” - Yes, Mr. Farage, and the citizens agree that this is a good thing.

    That’s so fucking dumb. If I got hit with a shake the police would say, “So?.” Then they’d go harrass black people on the south side of town.

      I mean, in both case they’re trying to advance the racist agenda, so thumbs up for consistency at least.

    Homie, be glad you don’t live in a country where you can get assassinated on the sidewalk. Sure, the shooter will likely get killed or go to prison, but that’s not going to help you much.

    Honestly, he got “milkshaked”, which washes off. She got a criminal record, which does not. He should be singing the court’s praises for that lopsided judgement in his favor.

      I mean, I would.

      Like, if they made him sit there and I could maybe feint a couple times first, watch him flinch? Yeah, worth it.

    Seemed like a pretty harsh penalty to me for a friggin’ jacket stain. Although I guess it was more about the darker message.

    Obviously Farage - with his dreams of drinking a nut-brown ale in a country pub with a “No dogs or Irish” sign on the door while aristos lead a cavalry charge against protesting mill workers - is little more than a useful-idiot tool of Putin and Trump, so a simple milkshaking seems like pretty commensurate punishment that he should be happy with.
