Nigel Farage has condemned a Gay Pride event in Chesterfield after the LGBT celebration urged punters to “toss a milkshake” at a cardboard cutout of the Reform UK leader.
Attendees of the pride event, organised by Stand Up to Racism, were able to win prizes for hitting different coloured circles on the Nigel Farage model, including sweets and Stand up to Racism badges.
The stall offered punters sponge balls in four “flavours”, representing mango, raspberry mint and blueberry milkshakes.
The attraction made light of the assault suffered by Mr Farage while campaigning in Clacton during the general election.
Mr Farage has now told The Express that while he is “all for mockery and a good laugh”, he suggests that “this goes too far”
The newly-elected MP added: “Liberal intolerance is clear for all to see”.
The Derbyshire Times also reported one local man, Richard McAllister, who drew attention to the pride stall, fuming: “I think it’s particularly unacceptable after the assassination attempt on former President Trump”.
…
While Derbyshire Police said it had received a complaint, they said no further action is being taken.

The social contract goes. Only those that are tolerant are tolerated. If you break it you only have yourself to blame.
He’s not dead. Sounds like he’s being tolerated more than some victims of conservative belief.
So all conservatives are legitimate targets of violence, in your view?
Binary thinking leads to inane conclusions. For example, calling a lobbed milkshake violence as if that makes it the same as a brick to the teeth or an assassin’s bullet.
Get a grip and try to maintain a sense of proportion. We shouldn’t be accosting political figures at all, but the real threat is far to the other end of that particular slippery slope, and that’s where we should focus resources.
Fascists are - we fought a whole world war about it and everything. Nigel Farage is a fascist.
No, he’s not a bloody Fascist. Words mean things.
Yes, they do mean things. I use the word very specifically and deliberately when referring to fascists like Farrage. He is a fascist, in the model of Mussolini more than Hitler
I’d say he’s more a quisling, and it’s far from coincidental that so many of his talking points exactly match those in Russian propaganda oultlets such as RT.
He can be (and indeed is) both
What a pathetic frog-faced snowflake.
nazis crying at the slightest pushback as always
Liberal tolerance is the only reason that milkshake cup was just filled with milkshake
Sounds like he’s pretty lactose intolerant
MTG lacks toes, too. And she’s defo intolerant.

This is fucking disgusting. How dare he call us liberal.
Yeah, the Lib Dems are still basically irrelevant.
Oh hey Nigel F
Fancy a milkshake?
He’s just jealous of all the free milkshakes the effigy is getting.
“The paradox of tolerance.”
Tolerance doesn’t necessarily entail “turning the other cheek”. Jesus actually said, “Show them both cheeks!”
That’s tolerance for ignorant, illiterate, bigoted racist fascists that is the extreme right.
Oh, is that what goatse was all about? Now I get it.
lol liberals are only intolerant to fascists.
why does nigel care its not like he’s ever in the uk doing the job he was elected to do
Well played, Chesterfield Pride, well played 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
