(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 Farages bile and racism.
He said he had been looking forward to the milkshake, but I think it went on a better purpose.

I suspect an epoxy milkshake would have been more appropriate.
