Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has slammed those responsible for an alleged milkshake attack on an army veteran who represents his anti-EU party. He is the latest victim to be doused with the ice-cold dessert drink.
Farage, himself a victim of such an incident while campaigning for EU Parliament elections in Newcastle city center, has taken to social media to voice his outrage.
Yet more disgusting behaviour. When democracy fails, civility ends. Let’s get Brexit done and finish this.
Witnesses claim that a man riding a bicycle hurled a milkshake at Don McNaughton, who is in his 80s, after spotting his Brexit Party rosette. The retired army officer was stood outside a polling station in Aldershot, Hampshire on Thursday when the incident reportedly took place.
The elderly man becomes the fourth victim in recent weeks to be on the receiving end of such an attack on individuals associated with right-wing parties/agendas.
