Nigel Farage, leader of the Brexit Party, was the victim of a milkshake attack by a protester. There is a trend in Britain of throwing milkshakes at right-wing figureheads.
Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K.’s populist Brexit Party, reportedly refused to leave his campaign bus for a short while on Wednesday during a milkshake scare, though his team deny this is what happened.
“There are a couple of guys standing over there with milkshakes, they were going to throw them over him,” Michael Botton, the campaign’s bus driver, told Kent Live. “But the police are there, we’ve spotted them and now Nigel isn’t getting off the bus.” “After several walking campaign stops @Nigel_Farage was due to pull up to supporters on his bus and do media interviews from the top deck. He was never scheduled to get off,” Kassam wrote.
A spokesman for Farage told Mail Online that suggestions he hid on the bus were not true: “Nigel did media interviews on top of the campaign open-top bus and then got off to mix with supporters afterwards, taking photographs and signing boards.”
