‘I’m getting death threats,’ says man who threw milkshake on Tommy Robinson

This situation is a cluster fuck.

Whatever you think of a MEP candidate it's not a good idea to assault them, this is a key point in our democracy (even though thats fucked too). It only emboldens what they go one about "free speech". He has a mic and wants to speak to people, so why not take him to task with speech and destroy his ideas, rather than "bash the fash" which is simplistic.

The guy that threw the milkshake did and interview afterwards, putting his name out there and warping the story, saying he was walking home came across the group and the milkshake "slipped" out of his hand.

There is video evidence of him confronting the group twice, earlier in the day, jumping at them with his phone out. The milkshake clearly did not slip.

While its funny to see the MEP candidate covered in milkshake, just try comparing it to something else, or how would you react if it happened to you? Or what happened to the guy that egged Corbz?

Pim Fortuyn first got splatted with a cake filled with excrement, then he was assassinated.

If Tommy/Stephen is killed or attacked with acid, what do you think that will lead to?
