British Police Charge 32-Year-Old with Assault for Tossing Milkshake on Nigel Farage
A violent leftist is charged after allegedly assaulting a politician.
A 32-year-old man has been charged for hurling a milkshake at Britain’s Brexit Party leader, Nigel Farage.
“Northumbria Police said they had now charged a 32-year-old man, Paul Crowther, over the incident,” according to Reuters. “He is due to appear in court later on Tuesday.”
The man approached Farage before a campaign event for the European Parliament, the elections for which will be held between May 23 and May 26. Before Farage entered the building where he was set to speak, the man approached him and tossed a milkshake on him. This trend has become common, as violent left wingers have done the same to right wing political figures Carl Benjamin and Tommy Robinson.
Farage responded to the incident on Twitter.
“Sadly some remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible. For a civilised democracy to work you need the losers consent, politicians not accepting the referendum result have led us to this,” he said.

Naturally, the political left has failed to disavow the violence. In fact, some have encouraged it.
“This should not need saying but apparently it does. Throwing a milkshake at someone is a non-violent act,” said Ian Dunt, editor of politics.co.uk.

Airbnb CEO Says Wuhan Virus Will Fundamentally Transform Domestic Travel
Post-pandemic America will not look the same.
Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, said to Reuters on January 14, 2021 that domestic travel patterns will not revert to pre-Wuhan virus pandemic standards.
In a Zoom call with Jonathan Weber, the global technology editor for Reuters, Chesky said that business travel will move towards leisure travel due to the fact that software like Zoom facilitates teleconferencing at unprecedented rates.
Furthermore, Chesky speculates that people won’t be visiting America’s largest cities as much as before, nor will they stay at crowded hotels. Instead, he believes that “many people will travel by car – some will travel by plane – and they’re going to travel to thousands of smaller communities. And many of these communities are going to be smaller cities and or even rural areas.”
Additionally, the Airbnb CEO notes that “farm stays are huge right now” and that national parks travel will become a major trend among travelers in the upcoming months. The latter will grow, in Chesky’s view, because most Americans have not visited such parks.
According to an Airbnb survey, 54% of Americans have plans of traveling in 2021 or they’re in the process of planning out their trips for the summer. Chesky asserted that travelers are “yearning for what was taken away from them.” He added, “they’re not yearning to see Times Square. What they are yearning to do is to see their friends and their families they have not seen in a long time.”
Tyler Durden of ZeroHedge raised an interesting point about this change in Americans’ travel patterns:
If Chesky is right about the significant travel shift, the hotel industry could be slated for a massive wave of bankruptcies and or consolidation to a degree never before seen.
Regardless, Americans are getting tired of the Wuhan virus lockdowns. Millions of Americans have had their freedoms infringed upon thanks to politicians who want to exploit a generalized crisis for their own gain.
If Republicans were smart, they would be unapologetically campaigning for their states to be reopened. Americans want to go back to their normal lives and engage in activities such as travel, which the political class has deprived them of.
