I dislike Farage and all that he stands for intensely, but....

....I dislike the fact that people think they can protest about him (or indeed any Politician) by lobbing milkshakes or eggs or bricks or bullets....at them more. We have to protect the right of people to spout what they want to say. If people believe him then so be it. Just need to ensure far more of us are not taken in by his vitriol and vote the other way, be it this Thursday or any subsequent election.

But physically assaulting him (as that is what it is) no way. Peaceful protest yes, anything beyond no. Sadly all the idiot has done is given Farage more airtime.
