But in the meantime, watching one of the main villains of the Brexit drama get his just desserts is too good to ignore (via Amy Walker at the Guardian):
Nigel Farage has been forced to seek refuge on his campaign bus after being stalked by people carrying milkshakes in Kent, according to reports.
The Brexit party leader and his campaign team seemed keen to avoid a repeat of events in Newcastle on Monday, when he was doused in banana and salted caramel milkshake after making a speech.
Okay, I can remember a time when people got doused in animal blood by activists, sometimes stale beer (but only at sporting events), oil during any energy/climate change protests, eggs for the standard meme of "having egg on your face", stuff like that. But milkshakes?!
I'm also a bit distraught that they wasted a perfectly good banana caramel milkshake. I can only hope the protesters got two, one for Farage and one for themselves to enjoy later.
Anyway, back to the drama.
Following a tour of Dartford and Gravesend before Thursday’s EU elections, things took an unfortunate turn for Farage in Rochester, where three young men wearing balaclavas with their hoods up were spotted by a supporter.
He was then told to stay on the bus. Its driver, Michael Bolton, told the Kent Live website: “There are a couple of guys standing over there with milkshakes, they were going to throw them over him. But the police are there, we’ve spotted them and now Nigel isn’t getting off the bus.”
You know something?
A real man does not fear the milkshake.
A real man would drink the milkshake.
I DRINK IT UP!
Do they have shamrock shakes in Ireland, by the by?

I agree about wasting perfectly good milkshakes on Nigel Farage, haven't they heard of dog turds over there?
And if the bus driver had been John instead of Michael he would have gone for the conflict instead of chickening out of heavy metal and indulging in soft rock...
