Police: please don’t sell milkshakes to anti-fascists

Post by CmdrKing »

This specific one is out of Edinburgh, in advance of a Nigel Farage event: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-ed ... e-48321451

But this has been going on for a week or three now.
Honestly it’s been predictable so far, but we’ll see how the fash hold up under routine public humiliation. Certainly Carl seems much quieter now.

Are you advocating for violence?

The Brits are really big on the whole 'no disturbing the Queen's peace' thing.

Well, you know, if you ban milkshakes only the criminals will have milkshakes.

Fixed it for you.

And yeah this is less of a British thing and more of a cops thing.

So violence is cool when its against people you don't like?
Nah, fuck that. I don't care if you hate a politician or not. No one deserves to be attacked. ''But it was just a milkshake!'' yeah, this time it was only a milkshake. Next time it could something worse.

If we let them get away with this, it might escalate to margaritas or even, gods forbid, greek yogurt! That would be terrible! It might bring back the dark days of bad performers being pelted with mushy tomatoes! Then, truly, the terrorists will have won.

Good to know that if I meet you at a bar and spill beer on your shirt you'll be pressing charges for assault with a deadly weapon, big man.

If right wingers are afraid of being splashed with milkshakes, they should stop them with thoughts and prayers.
