Far-right British politician Nigel Farage received a sticky cold shower on Monday, much to the internet’s collective glee.
The Brexit Party leader was making a campaign stop at Newcastle when a man walked up and hurled a milkshake at him.
In the video, a dripping Farage can be heard grumbling to his security team that he could’ve seen the attack coming “a mile away.”
Paul Crowther, the milkshake-wielder, was immediately arrested. He told the Guardian that it was a banana and salt caramel milkshake and that he had zero regrets.
“I was quite looking forward to it, but I think it went on a better purpose,” Crowther said.

Opinion: Nigel Farage getting hit by a milkshake isn't funny, it's absolutely hilarious https://t.co/HUuMul2k2s

if someone threw a milkshake at me, I would simply tear off the breakaway suit I was wearing and then defeat them with logic

Dear people of Scotland.
We’re selling milkshakes all weekend.
Have fun.

The Brexit Party: we have nothing to fear from Brexit – we survived the Blitz!

Besides leading the charge to Brexit, Farage has made several appearances on this side of the pond to boost President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. He even became a subject of scrutiny in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
Oh, dairy!
What a drip!
It’s like Richard Spencer getting socked in the face on the street or that anti-Muslim Australian politician getting egged after his comments about the NZ mass shooting or, my personal favorite, when Dick Cheney was told to “go fuck yourself!” when he visited Louisiana after the 2005 hurricane, and the black-hearted baby-eating motherfucker couldn’t deal with it.

Farage has always had the scent of Dairy Air about him.
Asked how he felt after the incident, Farage responded, through his cavernous maw, “I’m a bit shaken.”
