(LONDON) — British politician Nigel Farage was hit with a milkshake while campaigning in the European Parliament election on Monday — the latest in a spate of attacks on politicians with the sticky beverages.

Farage was left with milkshake dripping down his lapels during a walkabout in Newcastle, northeast England. Police said a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault.

Paul Crowther, who was detained in handcuffs at the scene, said he threw the banana-and-salted caramel Five Guys shake to protest Farage’s “bile and racism.”

He said he had been looking forward to the milkshake, “but I think it went on a better purpose.”

2. The Con told Theresa May that she should appoint him UK Ambassador to the US

after the 2016 election (coup).
She was not amused

3. If he had known in advance that Farage was coming

I suspect an epoxy milkshake would have been more appropriate.
