If what he loves is a hurled brick, he’s welcome to as many as he’d like.
Frankly I have no patience for ‘that’s just want they want!’ as a kneejerk response to any backlash against diet Nazis. They’ll claim victory no matter what happens. That’s part of what makes the fascists. The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
If this pattern means the only headlines about this asshole go ‘asshole hit by [object]’ - great. Beats reporting any of the garbage flying from his face.
If it’s just to make them look silly and not liked, but not actually hurt.
If someone stabbed Farage, he’d make such hay of it. I’d half expect him to have arranged it! Wouldn’t surprise me if he arranged the odd milkshake too, to keep him in the news.
Oh no, making hay. That totally cancels out getting stabbed.
Sick to death of this nothing-works attitude. Yeah - there is no course of action that fascists won’t claim proves them right. Stop listening to fascist claims. They lie. They’re fascists. That’s their schtick. But in the same way as deplatformed cranks shouting ‘I was cancelled!’ to an empty room, and spanked children insisting ‘that didn’t hurt!,’ sometimes you can ignore the words coming out of their stupid mouths.
He loves this. He loves to play the victim. The underdog. Despite being a being a real life racist rich toff caricature.

I think we need to keep being better than them. Not get dragged into the mud with them.
Really? I think you should punch Nazis in the fucking face.
How’d we solve the previous round of Nazis? Polite patience and understanding?
Identifying when people threaten everyone you love and telling them to fuck right off is being better than them.
I’m not saying we tolerant intolerance. Just not we shouldn’t be first to violence. Milkshakes fine, rocks, not fine. Mock them don’t hit them.
What do you think intolerance of intolerance entails?
… is a milkshake to the face not “hitting them?”

We don’t have to give them a platform. Not quite the same as deplatforming. Farage is given way to much platform for the votes he gets.
Time to neuter the underdog if you ask me.
