Banning milkshakes to save Farage
(304 Posts)Well Newcastle got him today but police in Edinburgh asked McDonald's not to sell milkshakes whilst he was there. What do you think? Is he fair game? Is it OK to target right wing politicians? Or should milkshakes be banned?

If you assault anyone then they have every right to thump you, very hard, I totally supported John Prescott who retaliated when he was assaulted.

I politely asked you for evidence of what you stated and I am still asking you the same question as you have not answered with anything of a substantial point to back up your posts. :-
Elvive
I am intrigued by your line of thought and would like to know the truth behind what you say.
You say :-
" The old man with the yoghurt down his front was a load of made up twaddle. Fools."

" Yes , I have proof that this is a non story. I cannot share it here for obvious reasons."
--
" I have links and information. I'm not posting them."
-
" I'm not posting it because it is from a local bystander. I don't feel it's fair to post it."
--
" It has gone to the police and the papers, it's not on here."
-
" Although anybody with half a brain cell could google it, tbf"

I understood your reluctance to provide factual evidence of what you posted initially but if it is as you later give the impression the information is on Google so in the public domain I don't follow why you are not proving your point.
If you have any fact or evidence why are you not able to prove your point if as you imply it is in the public domain?
I want to know the truth, help me out as I cannot find anything to back up your statements. I am not on twitter, if I was I certainly would not rely on twitter for my information as it can be as corrupt and bias as many other sites/blogs/forums .
Is twitter where you are basing all of your information on or can you provide links to other sources which are not of a partisan nature which have conclusive, factual evidence of foul play on the part of Don McNaughton as you are accusing him of?
We know that throwing milkshake on someone even on Nigel Farage is not the way forward. But it was covered all over the media. Why wasn't the "Go home comments" shouted at an Asian MEP by Brexit party members covered all over the media???? Do I smell double standards??
Maw I think you know the answer to that very well.
Maw of course you do but how do we stop it? Perhaps if Boris loses the case others will take note and be more honest. Do I think that will happen? Not really but I live in hope.
POGS you are flogging a dead horse - any evidence either way is clearly not available otherwise it would have been all over all types of media.
And yet the Brexit Party have Asian people some of whom stood as MEP candidates??
?
POGS I have been 'politely asking' leavers to give me their reasons for voting leave and they haven't so I don't think it is reasonable to ask someone to possibly betray a confidence to you.
Nonnie
Many leavers have told you why they voted leave time and again on here but clearly you don’t seem to compute.
And clearly there is no evidence or we would all know about it by now.
Utter nonsense
Larry so they say but why won't they repeat it? If you expect others to provide 'evidence' (and I don't know if it is true or not) then you should also provide 'evidence' when asked. I have been asking for a very long time, probably over a year, so what are leavers worried about? Can you not see lack of an answer implies so much?
But Nonnie I have seen lots of posts explaining the myriad of reasons for going and for staying but everyone has their own reason I don’t think there’s any one answer for anyone.
I can’t see what evidence has to do with his. You are confusing issues.
The milk shake debate about the elderly man arose because a poster said they had evidence it hadn’t happened and it was on google. It isn’t so there was no evidence. It was a silly post.
People voting stay or leave don’t need to provide evidence Because no one has the evidence. You don’t know and neither do I we are all just going on the facts as we see them now and our own understanding of those facts.
No one knows what leave looks like or indeed what stay looks like in the future.
You are confusing two completely different issues.
Ask yourself why, if a man had been riding a bike and thrown a milkshake at somebody at 7.30 am why was the victim not covered ( including shoes). Why would the victim stand around all day in the same clothes?
Why was the press there by 8 am?
I think I will wait to see the press coverage Elvive such a big story would have been front page news by now in any event.
Will wait and see.
And it’s not on google as you said by the way.
'No one knows what leave looks like or indeed what stay looks like in the future'...but we could always leave in the future if we weren't happy with what was happening with the EU. And, perhaps [and I include myself here] we should all have taken far more interest in the EU and conversed more with our representatives.
Larry no I'm not 'confusing issues' I'm comparing sets of values. One for those who want to leave the EU but a different one for those who disagree. I'm sorry you don't understand that.
You said "I have seen lots of posts explaining the myriad of reasons for going and for staying" but I haven't which is why I keep asking. It may be that it was a long time ago during one of the times I have been away from GN or it could be that it was on a thread I didn't read. Whatever the reason I have missed it I still don't understand why it is too difficult to tell those of us who don't know what the reasons are. Yes of course no one has to, their choice but it does seem rather odd that those who want to stay in the EU are happy to post their reasons but those who want to leave are not.
Are you an old poster who has changed their name? I think I may recognise your style.
I thought you were comparing proof with the milk shake incident (not Nigel’s) with the reasons people voted leave!
I voted to remain so I don’t know others reasons but maybe they are fed up trying to justify themselves to constant hectoring by remainers who won’t accept the result?
Many posters name change frequently that’s actually none of your business and I don’t like the veiled outing threat.
I changed to protect my dd so I expect you to respect that
Larry You are mistaken about my comparisons. I don't like the implication that I am making any kind of threat, I am not and I don't like the misinterpreting of what I actually said. I find that offensive.
Please give me examples of "constant hectoring by remainers who won’t accept the result"?
I do know that posters change their names, usually because they are concerned that they will be identified but I am surprised when I read "Many posters name change frequently". I have been on here for a long time and am not aware of anyone doing it 'frequently' and would be surprised if HQ allowed that. As for saying it's none of my business, I should point out that I didn't ask you who you had previously been, I just asked if you had changed your name. Of course you don't have to answer, just as none of us have to answer anything. You could have ignored the question and no one would have noticed. Now you have brought attention to it.
This twisting of what I say simply reminds me of a poster who has just disappeared although there are other posters who do it too, along with those who make untrue statements and never apologise.
sigh
thanks for that.
Ask yourself why, if a man had been riding a bike and thrown a milkshake at somebody at 7.30 am why was the victim not covered ( including shoes). Why would the victim stand around all day in the same clothes? Why was the press there by 8 am?
If I threw a milk shake at someone whilst cycling it would probably end up mostly over me and not my intended victim
However, that did look fairly accurately thrown.
The press may have been there because he was outside a polling station [duh]
at 8 am? with a veteran? in Aldershot?
nice job
If it's all over google that this is untrue, please could you provide a link.
still waiting
