Reuters: UK right-winger Farage doused with drink at election campaign launch
Culprit:
Apparently not even the first time it’s happened to him:
Staged to get into the media spotlight by any means necessary. The security guy is wearing that jacket zipped for a reason; is looking right at her; is not reacting in any way to stop her. Looking at the reaction of the crowd, it looks like the work of a sophist; the true hallmark of the Right.
It was a setup. The woman is the girlfriend of a reform party member. Farage has form for this sort of publicity stunt.
Edit
Farage is all anyone is talking about at the moment, the stunt seems to have worked.
Edit
According to the BBC a woman’s been charged, so it seems like the initial skepticism was misplaced.
Could be. I’ve no trust in The Express though. It’s a right wing rag.
Thanks for sharing, would suggest another edit here:
Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, is due to appear at Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, 2 July charged with assault by beating and criminal damage, Essex Police said.
Thanks. 👍🏻
