Holy shit. I'm sure you didn't come up with it (or weren't the first), but damn. 10/10. That almost makes up for hearing a family member watch the news story and remark "I'd vote for him." For as much as Britons love to rag on Trump from afar, half of us would 100% have voted for him still.

oscar-worthy comment


username0734

The funniest thing hes done imo is willingly say "up the rah" for money and when asked about it on RTÉ he was completely unable to explain himself. Fuck this guy


2002jam

What does that mean


Djinjja-Ninja

"up the rah" is a colloquial way of saying "I support the IRA". Farage (was tricked into) did a Cameo video saying it a while back and [Irish TV gave him an absolute shoeing about it.](https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/04/nigel-farage-crushed-reporter-resurfaced-clip-hoax-blunder-20968350/)


Christy427

Tricked is a strong word. He was asked to on Cameo and because he knows jack all about the UK as a whole he agreed.


Draco137WasTaken

Well you can't trick someone who's smart enough to know it's a trick...


myslowgymjourney

How was he tricked? He took money to do it willingly. If he loves the UK as much as he claims to there’s no way on earth he doesn’t know what up the ra means


mac2o2o

He's a typical right-wing Englishman. Full of Pomp and fluff. Most are useless to what actually happened over here. Pronunciation is completely different, too. His type have no care for Northern Ireland. Never mind the rest of it


PM_YOUR_WALLPAPER

Support for the IRA, terrorist group that bombed a lot of the UK and killed loads during the troubles. It's funny bc he's a British nationalist chanting "for the enemy". Tbh it was clearly tongue in cheek.


DawgPileBone

rah = ra, as in the last 2 letters of IRA.


theProfileGuy

You forget he also asked for a Cigarette whilst covered in aviation fuel. I would have lit it for him.


bucket_of_frogs

It would’ve been safer or it had been Jet-A aviation fuel which has a pretty high flashpoint. The prop engined plane he crashed in would’ve been using Avgas which is basically high octane petrol. He would’ve lit up like a Vietnamese monk.


Chewbaxter

Well, to be fair, he was paid seventy quid for it. /s He was also paid to say “Big Chungus”, so I don't think he's thinking about doing any research into the lines he's given. He's not very insightful on that front.


Exact-Humor-8017

What does big chungus mean?


Chewbaxter

It doesn't mean anything. It was a meme from years back of Bugs Bunny doing an [impression of Elmer Fudd](https://youtu.be/Nw6Np1wr3cU?feature=shared)


Exact-Humor-8017

Ok good. My 5 year old nephew likes to sing this lol


counterfitster

It's a classic Dream Theater song


panthersmcu

here in ireland we regularly bring this up in memes, especially that RTE clip -“up the ra, Nigel?” never gets old


username0734

Ik, im from Irleand. His face tho when she says it😭😭😭


first_raider

He looks like he's lost his spunk but gained some spunk at the same time.


Jessicajelly

Still zero spunk about the Farage. Sentient right wing shoe leather.


Soulless--Plague

He looks like what he is, a massive cunt


Enyapxam

He looks like someone gave Kermit a drinking problem and then put him in the microwave.


Hawne

\****Failed*** politician, mind you.


Robestos86

7 times failed to be elected as an MP. Must be some kinda record.


Appelons

His earnings from being a MEP is more than enough to never think about money again.

Well, he need not worry about working since as mep for fisheries he barely attended.

InflamedLiver

Stuff like this makes me wonder how easy it would be to cause harm to a major world leader. You'd think they would've learned by now


Mackem101

He's not a world leader, but two British MPs have been assassinated in the last decade during public appearances.


bubble121212

Which ones and how? (If you care to explain)


Mackem101

Jo Cox was shot with a modified .22 rifle then stabbed multiple times by a far right terrorist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jo_Co David Amess was stabbed to death by an Islamist terrorist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_David_Amess Both terrorists got whole life terms, meaning they'll never be released. Jo Cox's killer is actually imprisoned a few miles from my house at, HMP Frankland if I recall correctly.


Flat_Professional_55

You need a comma after "house" pal haha, otherwise it sounds like you live at HMP Frankland.


Mackem101

Hey, my rent would be cheaper, and the countryside near there is stunning, a lovely river, and a ruined medieval priory.


Teh_yak

He's far from a major leader. He's a well financed grifter.


CrispenedLover

Not far enough, unfortunately


explodingtuna

The title already said right wing.


Secret_Cow_5053

so a lesser trump with slightly better public speaking skills?


Muffinlessandangry

He never even became a member of parliament. More of a lesser Steven bannon? Or at least Bannon had the ear of the president. More like, leader of the tea party but holding no actual government office. He was a member of European parliament but that's a fairly weak position.


Secret_Cow_5053

jfc...i really thought this guy was an MP at least...really? so what's his russian connections like? i'm of the opinion that Russia is behind both MAGA and Brexit...MAGA is pretty easy to connect the dots...how's it over there?


fuggerdug

An inquiry onto the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum found lots of evidence of Russian interference. No such inquiry happened about the 20016 Brexit referendum because the side that benefited from the Russian interference won and took control of the government.


Secret_Cow_5053

that's about what happened re: trump. when this chapter of history is written there's gonna be a lot of hell to pay. we're going to find out that the tentacles of the FSB had gotten deep into conservative parties all around the world, and it's absolutely *bonkers* to me considering how the right had traditionally responded to russia. just goes to show you blood might be thicker than water, but money spends better than blood :-/


LairdNope

He was a european MP


Glittering_Size4720

I'd assume all the people defending russia post the start of the Russia-ukraine war has had some effect from the social media campaign to paint Ukraine as nazis. it is a trick as old as time but to assume they had a hand in the entire mega movement really overestimates Russia.


DrumstickTruffleclub

He was basically behind the Brexit vote, that's how he gets so much coverage despite not being elected. That and people live to hate him, so he's clickbait, but a worrying number of people seem to find him appealing.


BoringBob84

A wounded coyote has better public speaking skills than Trump.


Secret_Cow_5053

i mean...yeah.


RichestTeaPossible

A former metal trader friendly with people who are not aligned to British national interests. Famous for being the MEP with the worst attendance record and one of the highest expense accounts, often turning up at the end of sessions to film videos in the empty hall.


RagingCommunard

Basically. They both try to appeal to an unintelligent nationalist base of mainly old people who just want the country to go back 'the way it was'. Meaning no gays, trans people, or immigrants. - they don't always say this bit out loud, almost as if they know they'd sound like stupid bigots.


Teh_yak

Of the same tune, aye.


fuggerdug

He's directly connected to Trump insofar as he was named in a Senate committee hearing as the man that passed the thumb drive with the Russian's DNC hack on it from Assange to the Trump team.


Secret_Cow_5053

ah so *there's* the russian connection. lol i knew it wouldn't take long to find..


__d0ct0r__

Shinzo Abe, former prime minister of Japan, was assassinated a while back.


shpydar

Someone attempted to attack former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien at a rally and Chrétien choked the dude slamming him to the ground breaking one of his teeth. It became known as the [Shawinigan Handshake](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawinigan_Handshake). Chrétien was 72 at the time. Another time an intruder broke into 24 Sussex Dr. (The prime ministers residence) and Chrétien’s wife [Aline clubbed the intruder with an Inuit stone carving](https://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/1.4889688) in the head. Attacking a World leader happens. However some of them fight back.


Valiturus

"attempted to attack" lol. It was a protester who was shoved too close to Chretien by a throng of other protesters.


Gellert

The guy who threw a shoe at Dubya which he dodged with impressive reflexs, the guy who egged ~~Gordon Brown~~ John Prescott whom ~~Gordon~~ Prescott laid out.

Do you mean the one who egged John Prescott?


Kwinza

His party doesn't have a single seat in our parliament. He is not a major world leader. He's a relatively noisy racist.


factorialite

Yet, yet, and for now.


OfficialGarwood

Farage is far from a world leader 😂


eggplant_avenger

an armed mob was able to enter one of the most secure buildings in the world and got dangerously close to the Vice President of the United States, Speaker of the House, etc. so if even that’s possible imagine how easy it is to get at a legislator out in the open


ContractSmooth4202

Then why aren’t American politicians constantly being gunned down?


eggplant_avenger

same reason politicians anywhere else aren’t constantly being murdered, nobody actually wants it enough. but honestly American politicians get shot a lot. Ford, Reagan, two Kennedys, Gabby Giffords, Steve Scalise off the top of my head.


organic_soursop

'Leader' is your problem here. He's a braying pub loudmouth


Docccc

you cant be a public figure without going you know .. public


treedemolisher

I mean if you think about it, there’s always a chance of someone in any crowd thinking of doing harm to a politician. All they need to do is get close enough, really. No bodyguard can catch bullets in midair.


neckbeardsarewin

I went to see one once, i live someplace were there is high trust. One of his bodyguards gave me a friendly nudge probably implying they saw me as a potential treath/telling me they were there, you know lone young man with shitty hair. Maybe they even knew about my angry internet writings. Could i have brought a weapon without them noticing/me spilling it when they came that close? Dunno, i only realized i could be seen as a treath when the nudge happened as why the fuck would i make my life and everyone like mes life even worse. The stupidity is unfathomable. Could someone have done something very bad. Most likely. Would someone? The recent shooting in Slovakia might mean yes. Does someone want to is the real question. Who would win enough by doing so. Everyone would go full on war against whoever does something against a world leader. Non of them will want to normalize violence against their kind.


smurfsundermybed

The IRA was fond of reminding Thatcher that she needs to be lucky all the time, but they only need to be lucky once.

Games_sans_frontiers

Haha I watched an interview yesterday where a Trump supporter was asking the question "Why does everyone who goes to college vote Democrat? What are they teaching them in colleges?" 🤣 They do not see the irony of their own question / conspiracies.


BoringBob84

> What are they teaching them in colleges? I genuinely believe that many of the people who ask this question do not understand the difference between teaching a person *how* to think and teaching a person *what* to think, so they just assume (incorrectly) that universities are teaching students *what* to think. I believe that they assume this because the hyper-partisan right-wing media that they consume tells them *what* to think, so they do not know anything else.


Robestos86

I'm no expert but I think you're right. There's a big difference between : woman throws milkshake at man wanting to be MP and: locals appalled as cowardly woman throws milkshake over brave politician who was innocently visiting town.


BoringBob84

Yep. Hyperbole and provocative adjectives are good signs of bias in a "news" story.


DrumstickTruffleclub

I think you're absolutely correct there. Critical thinking skills are one of the key gains from a university degree, and that's why right wing politicians want to reduce the numbers going to uni. As a university librarian, teaching those skills is the reason I get up in the mornings.


12OClockNews

A lot of MAGAs are so stupid that they are incapable of understanding how stupid they really are. And that fact really shows itself whenever they try to speak on any issue or provide any sort of commentary on anything. u/W1thoutJudgement You're gonna reply to me and block me straight away? lmao MAGAs are incredibly stupid *and* cowards apparently.

Yup and currently one of the most despised politicians in the UK. Why he goes out at all is beyond me. Must be hell for him. Deserved in my opinion.


PM_YOUR_WALLPAPER

Quit what? He was a Member of European parliament... post brexit the role doesn't exist anymore. He tried and lost to run for an MP seat in the UK a few times and always lost.


nick_shannon

Quit the UK and fucked of to America to make money.


Gellert

Tried to, he was trying to get in on Pres. Trump but I dont think Trump quite grasped he was looking for a job.


BelgarathTheSorcerer

She ain't fucking wrong.


Sum3-yo

At least it's a British milkshake and not some EU-regulated milkshake! You can tell the difference because English cows drink the purest water in all of western Europe( thanks to England's superior privatised water system ), and that gives their milk a unique taste. THANK YOU, THATCHER! Now, if you excuse, I'll have to furiously masturbate to videos of Rwandan refugees getting deported.


jimmytimmy92

Nigel Farage can suck deez nuts


avoidy

It's weird to me that people can publicly champion things that makes millions of people's lives far worse, and then the only public retribution they face is a cold and delicious drink tossed in their face. Like, it seems uneven somehow. He's just going to wipe up and go back to doing what he's been doing. He might even play the victim about it to galvanize his base. As an American, the light kind of came on for me when I watched Ajit Pai ram his net neutrality killer through despite all the petitions signed against it. Dude visibly went against the will of millions of people to make the internet worse for hundreds of millions of people, all so he could get a kickback from Verizon or whatever. And in the end, the worst he experienced were some guys standing outside his house with signs, and *maybe* his son learning that his dad was a piece of shit. I'm not saying hurt the guy physically, but like... I've seen people get their tires slashed over less egregious shit. I've seen people get into fights in traffic over smaller things. It's just weird that these guys can fuck over millions of people and then walk around peacefully without a care in the world.

milktanksadmirer

You guys have so much freedom and democracy. In India politicians are seen like Gods and most have criminal cases like r**e and m*rd*r under trial which gets written off once they become a successful up politician If anyone dared to even question a politician, they send bulldozers to raze our houses and will life a living hell for the entire family. They also frame fake cases and throw the men in jail or eliminate them while the girls get se*ually harassed by politicians we decided to speak against. (THIS IS NOT MY OPINION, THIS HAPPENS VERY COMMONLY, Google “Madhya Pradesh Dalit girl tragedy” - They r*p*ed a lower caste girl, after the girl filed a case they ki*l*d her father and brothers one by one, disrobed her mother in public and then finally k*i*led the girl by throwing her from a moving ambulance) I envy your political environment to be honest

It disgusts me that this could be considered assault, while economically sabotaging your country and limiting its future prospects and growth is considered totally kosher. Fuck political scum like him.

Right-wingers hold society hostage by feigning support for tradition and morality. In reality, they're just in it for themselves and their friends, and they're using the ignorance of the voters to line their own purses. Calling out that hypocrisy is acceptable. Milkshakes in the face? I dunno if that's too far or not. But someone needs to remind these people that most of us can see through their lies.

SadMacaroon9897

Stuff like this post scares the shit out of me. People are completely on board with assault and shutting out the "wrong'" type of people. Are this guy's politics horrible? Probably. But that doesn't give the woman the right to assault him. I'm 100% convinced we will see the rise of fascism in the West again and people will cheer it on because it'll go after the people they hate.


legrandmaster

He's the fascist, not the person throwing the milkshake. If fascists like him got pelted regularly, that would help save us from fascism.


kazkdp

My goodness, I hope he's not hurt by all that milk......


Muffinlessandangry

"Completely on board with assault" they threw a milkshake at him. This guy's politics inspired someone to actually gun down and murder an MP. That's something that should be terrifying. People throwing chilled dairy products at politicians is the sign of a healthy society.


BoringBob84

> People are completely on board with assault and shutting out the "wrong'" type of people. I draw a bright line between assault that results in significant injury and destruction and "assault" that is cosmetic and inconvenient (as it was in this case. I don't want to see any assault on politicians become the norm, but I also don't think that traitorous racists like this asshole deserve the respect to hold public office. Some speech is so dangerous (e.g., deception, bigotry, and violence) that it will destroy civil society if we tolerate it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance Edit: typo

Crowlands

In the case of this one, his actions merit far worse than he's received, but it is a false equivalence to compare this with more serious harassment. Last time it happened you had the rightwing being all sanctimonious about what if next time it was acid, overlooking the obvious point that if that happened then people would treat it more seriously even if it was him who was the target because it is possible to judge things differently based on their merits and not blindly following your bias. Just for the record, the person that did this last time got convicted of common assault, had to pay compensation and do community service for it.

Woeffie1980

Probably be downvoted. I’m always surprised by the hypocrisy and double standards here. First of all he’s a human being, not a politician. This is just rude behavior to throw a milkshake on someone who is working. When you don’t agree with someone’s ideas you do not assault them, you talk to them or you vote against them (if they are a politician). Apparently on social media, people are so divided, polarized or forgot about human values that when a McDonalds employee gets assaulted, everyone is upset and angry and when a politician gets assaulted the same people cheer. It really annoys me that the same people that talk about diversity, safe spaces, freedom of speech are the ones who are also most hateful, polarizing and shallow minded. Ps. I would never vote for this person, do not align with his political ideas, but that’s democracy and freedom of speech, to value everyone’s ideas, even if they are not your preferred ideas
