Tommy Robinson was on the receiving end of a milkshake shower – 21 favourite reactions
It’s been a rough time for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – a.k.a. Tommy Robinson – as he campaigns for a seat in the European Parliament, representing the North-West. First, his campaign Twitter account was suspended, then he was berated by a woman he was trying to browbeat and today, he had milkshake thrown on him for the second time in two days as he toured Warrington. This is what happened:

The far-right anti-Islam campaigner landed a few punches on Danyal Mahmud before the two were separated, and that suit is going to need dry-cleaning – he’ll probably start a crowdfunder to cover the cost.
We can’t honestly say we saw much sympathy for his plight, in fact it was quite the contrary.

Who knew "Tommy Robinson keeps getting covered in milkshakes in Manchester satellite towns" would be the EU election narrative.

Imagine seeing yaxley & not throwing a milkshake at him now. I hope it becomes a new tradition. Everywhere he goes.

Not saying it was necessarily right to throw a milkshake at Tommy Robinson, but people claiming it was a 'racist attack' don't seem to be aware that "Hate-mongering Prick" isn't a race.
