YES! Farage Milkshaked

I see James O'Brien is still punting the line that Farage staged the milkshake attack in order to deflect from the Electoral commission investigation.

Its just a very funny thread which does throw up some very interesting questions.

Look, if its true, it shouldn't have happened and we need to find the cyclist and charge him

If it isn't, then we need to make sure that everyone is aware that this is a tactic used time and time again by Farage and that you can't trust him as far as you can throw a milkshake at him.

Do you think the Farage attack was staged like your mate O'Brien ?

I rather hope it hasn't been to be fair.

I'm 100% sure though that is the level we are currently at though, which is worryingly enough.

CCTV or a mobile phone footage will turn up soon to prove it one way or the other.

He shot a terrorist in the leg to stop him escaping, while on active duty in a war zone?

Yoghurts. And there's no evidence beyond his own say so that someone threw anything over him.

Things I find odd:

- It's Yogurt - totally different consistency from all the milkshake photos we've seen and there's large fruit pieces in it.
- There's no splatter, seems to have been poured, not thrown.
- Seemly nothing on the floor or anywhere else in any photos.
- No other witnesses
- Some paras quickly show up to pose (possibly with a spare change of clothes)
- Multiple photos of man posing and interview, very shortly after attack.
- Why was he allowed to sit for long periods outside a polling station with a party rosette in the first place.
- Retracts on his previous statements
"he went to co-op, got a milkshake, came down here" becomes "I didn't see the container that the man was carrying"

So able to say definitely a milkshake and watched him come and go from the exact shop a few hundred meters away, but then says he never saw the container.

“It was a strawberry milkshake, my favourite flavour,” becomes "I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was a strawberry milkshake or a strawberry yogurt"

- Supports party/leader known to employ alt-right tactics of controling the media (especially social) conversation, claiming falsehoods & deflecting from other issues/events

That was probably an automatic assault milkshake, or one fitted with a bump stock so that it resembles one.

Presumably because there weren't enough milkshake hooligans to drive him away. Are you suggesting that the anti-Brexit anti-democrats should have prevented him sitting there?

Or is it that you have forgotten about the many many party workers of all parties who sit outside polling stations, bearing their colours, taking names or numbers of those who have voted so they don't need to chivvy them into the polling booth?

Unless the descriptions of how the system operates is incorrect then the vast majority of donations are either going to be deemed dodgy (insufficient data to assess where they're from so they must be returned) or they're going to be deemed OK (insufficient data to show they aren't from where they claimed to be so they're OK). Paypal doesn't pass enough information through for a conclusive view to be taken either way. There's a difference between finding everything is correct and not finding anything wrong, I don't know what the electoral commission came back with.

It may be that all transactions are fine, it may be that they're all dubious, it may be somewhere in the middle. The issue is that the way their donation system has been set up obfuscates that information.

Now it may just be that the Brexit Party isn't capable of organising taking payments themselves and found it easier to pay Paypal's fees and this is just an unfortunate side effect. Or it may be they are receiving loads of money from overseas, the nature of their system means that people are going to question it.

Looks like the Electoral Commission fairly much agreed with this view. The donation system that the Brexit party set up obfuscates where the money came from and there is a high risk of receiving and accepting impermissible donations. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Brexit Party will be gone by the time they sort out the funding.

Looking at the Labour Party donation page, even if you pay by Paypal it still asks for personal details of the donor. If you do the same for the Brexit Party it just sends you straight to the paypal site.

Which means that they, or more importantly a third party, can subsequently check where those donations came from and be suspicious of those that appear fabricated.

Unlike other parties where there is no way of telling if they are dubious or fine.

At the risk of being accused of virtue-signalling by a furry, the payment method used to make that donation will have been recorded and should it be considered suspicious those details can be investigated and the donor contacted.

That cannot happen with the Brexit party because they specifically refuse to accept donations that they can trace, because they clearly want deniability.
