What's worse than having a milkshake thrown at you?
- Being abused or harassed for your skin colour, religion or sex.
- Watching figures who incite hatred getting regularly invites on the media.
Way I see it, if you don't want to be milkshaked, don't incite hatred. Simple.

Our pleas to have a 'better public debate' have fallen on deaf ears even after Jo Cox was murdered in broad daylight.
We keep calling for civility, while people like Farage and Tommy Robinson keep escalating their rhetoric.
They're taking advantage of us. I'm sick of it.

This idea that things will 'get worse' because Farage got milkshaked is bonkers. Worse than an MP being murdered?
That rubicon has already been crossed, and Farage has faced *no* consequences for his violent rhetoric since then.
So why should we sit back and do nothing?

Nigel Farage himself said "violence was the next step" for people like him who feel "we've lost control". Did anyone in the media condemn him for that? No, he got more invites.
So spare me this rubbish about our "worsening public debate".

No one on the right was losing their shit when this happened to @Ed_Miliband, who had the courage to react by laughing it off.
Meanwhile, Farage and the right are throwing a hissy fit. Cry me a fucking river
