General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Lmao imagine having a whole day at court because someone had milkshake thrown over them. What a waste of everyone's time.

Damn right, let's throw it at Farage.

Could have been worse, he wasn't creampied like that anti-gay orange juice lady in the 70s or 80s.

Calling it an attack feels like it lessens the meaning of the word for actual attacks. The man got wet.

He was made sticky by vicky.

No, the charge is assault by beating, which sounds like mr farright got kicked or punched, but nope he got soaked by milkshake. I guess that bring the boys to the yard and he won the seat.

I think poor Farage got beat by a paper cup accidentally.

Thomas Bowen told police she did not intend the paper cup to hit Farage.

Possibly the idea

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

It kinda looks like she just messed up feeding him. He looks a bit thin. Could have easily gotten away with that excuse.

How’d they figure out who did it?

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 9 points 17 hours ago

I feel she should have at least tried the shaggy defence.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world -3 points 11 hours ago

Because she admitted it. It also happens to be she's on OnlyFans! Go figure...

"She states she did not regret her actions."

She acknowledges that this was an assault and that the liquid would have gone over the jackets of him and others and caused them to get cleaning, but she states that Nigel would be able to afford this.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 24 points 17 hours ago

She's such a chad

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 25 points 18 hours ago

I love this because it is entirely true and she is just being honest. Rich people can afford to have their coat cleaned.

Or more milkshake

[–] Salmarez@hexbear.net 9 points 16 hours ago

Critical support, only because I am vegan!

[–] sneak100@hexbear.net 19 points 19 hours ago

Braver than the troops rat-salute

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 4 points 15 hours ago

It’s just a damn shame she didn’t have time to freeze it first.
