A 25-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to assault after throwing a milkshake at Nigel Farage during an election campaign. The incident occurred on 4 June, outside a Wetherspoons pub in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. The woman, identified as Victoria Thomas Bowen, was charged with both criminal damage and assault by beating.

Bowen, from Clacton-on-Sea, admitted her actions in Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, where she faced the charges this morning. The event attracted widespread attention, as Farage, a prominent political figure, was targeted while campaigning. 

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage gets emotional as he says he keeps getting milkshakes thrown at him because he meets the public

The milkshake incident was one of several similar attacks on public figures during election campaigns, which have sparked debate about political protest and personal boundaries. Nigel Farage has previously been the target of strong opposition due to his role in British politics, particularly during his leadership of the Brexit Party.

 

Bowen's guilty plea brings an end to the legal proceedings related to this act of protest. It remains unclear what consequences she will face following the charges of assault by beating and criminal damage.

Well as this was actual 'assault' she should get a far more serious sentence than those that had posted 'hurty words' on Facebook.?

Absolutely right.

 

And more than the grandfather who got 2 years 8 months for holding a placard and shouting, who killed himself in jail last weekend. 

 

Highly unlikely though. It's 2 tier Britain and the left think this is funny because it's Farage. I'm expecting the usual "suspended sentence". 

 

At leat she was charged though, unlike the Manchester airport thugs who broke the nose of the female police officer. 

No use crying over spilt milk.

 

The woke brigade will want her punished. 
 

People need to harden up.

She needs jail time for that.

A clear message needs to be sent out to people,  that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated.

it could have been acid,  she had used.

While they are at it, they should charge Jo Brand for encouraging people on national radio to use acid on Farage after a previous "milkshaking". 

 

If the Tory councillor got 3 years for a FaceBook post, that must be worth at least 5.

 

Oh sorry, she's a left wing BBC luvvie. My bad.

If it had been up to Jo Brand, it would have been.

No charges, you say?

Yes Joe Brand.

What a nasty P.O.S she is.

 

The previous guy who violently protested against Farage got [drumroll], you guessed it, a suspended sentence.

It seems throwing cement at someone is less serious than holding a placard and shouting. All depends who you are throwing at it you see.

I'm not a Brit, but I don't think assaults are a good thing, in general.

Instead of punishment she is entitled to get a medal for this brave action. I hope it was sour milk 😂

Throwing acid is absolutely unacceptable. I wonder if she's regretting not drinking the milkshake first and replacing it with something like dog waste—the punishment for assault would likely be the same, wouldn’t it?

You give me the names of people sent to prison for posting stuff online and I’ll (once again) provide records of the actual crimes committed, the term ‘Hurty Words’ will not be included in the crimes.

 

But you already know that.

That is why the phrase 'hurty words' was in quotation marks!

We don't need you to repost what happened in court Chomps, everyone knows the sentence, the discussion has moved several steps beyond that as to why it was unduly harsh and rushed through the system so quickly despite the massive backlog of cases. 

 

Instead perhaps you could post the records from the court case against the thugs who attacked and broke the nose of the female police officer at Manchester airport?

 

Oh wait, silly me, this is 2 tier Britain so they weren't even charged.

I get your problem Jonny.

 

Court records contradict the false narrative you need to cling to I order to feed your need for grievance.

The colour of the string.

 

The religion of the string.

 

And what side of the political spectrum the string can be found.

Court records show what happened. 

 

Not why it happened. Not why the sentence was so unusually long. Not why it was rushed through the courts. Not why similar or even worse crimes do not even go to court.  

 

The fact you refuse to move beyond what happened tells us everything we need to know. It's a lame strategy

   Should throwing liquids over people be legal in the UK ?

Should assaulting other  people be legal ?
