Nigel Farage has condemned a Gay Pride event in Chesterfield after the LGBT celebration urged punters to “toss a milkshake” at a cardboard cutout of the Reform UK leader.

Attendees of the pride event, organised by Stand Up to Racism, were able to win prizes for hitting different coloured circles on the Nigel Farage model, including sweets and Stand up to Racism badges.

The stall offered punters sponge balls in four “flavours”, representing mango, raspberry mint and blueberry milkshakes.

The attraction made light of the assault suffered by Mr Farage while campaigning in Clacton during the general election.

Mr Farage has now told The Express that while he is “all for mockery and a good laugh”, he suggests that “this goes too far”

The newly-elected MP added: “Liberal intolerance is clear for all to see”.

The Derbyshire Times also reported one local man, Richard McAllister, who drew attention to the pride stall, fuming: “I think it’s particularly unacceptable after the assassination attempt on former President Trump”.

…

While Derbyshire Police said it had received a complaint, they said no further action is being taken.

        Yes, they do mean things. I use the word very specifically and deliberately when referring to fascists like Farrage. He is a fascist, in the model of Mussolini more than Hitler

          I’d say he’s more a quisling, and it’s far from coincidental that so many of his talking points exactly match those in Russian propaganda oultlets such as RT.
