Yes, it's entirely an attention-seeking exercise for her OnlyFans, which is presumably why she was so happy to talk to the media too.

I take the view that politicians are fair game when it comes to throwing rotten fruit at them or a drink over them but equally those engaging in such activity have no grounds for complaint if they end up with a criminal record for doing so. However I thought the incident several years back when someone threw a milkshake over an elderly UKIP activist was utterly disgraceful.

Sadly this forum doesn't have many female members because men like carlton43 has the confidence to type content like that. Sorry that we don't always take him to task for it. You know very well that the paucity of numbers of female members has nothing to do with me. Stop being a little jerk. We are a bunch of anoraks and far fewer women want to be anoraks or have anorak propensities. And I hasten to add at this juncture that not all of our members have anorak tendencies and none of our female members do. But I am saddened to say that both you and I do fit that mould.

When Farage was assaulted by that criminal, he was surrounded by a small group of advisers / minders / bodyguards / whoever, who all ignored her and just carried on. I was a bit surprised that they (some or all of them) didn't react actively by chasing after her, grabbing her, and holding her until the police arrived. If it had been a slightly different politician, or a slightly different party, or in a slightly different country, they would have also engaged in dialectical discussions with her, to persuade her to change her attitude, before the police arrived.

Are you suggesting that Farage set the whole thing up by any chance?

People are desperate for this to be true so they don't have to acknowledge the obvious fact that this sort of action is unacceptable.

Oh do get over your fucking self. She's literally an Only Fans model - carlton43 's description of her is spot on. Her growler is all over Twitter now, but no doubt she'll be getting plenty of other mugs to pay for her 'exclusive' content (which was probably the point of the exercise) A modern version of John Creighton who stood in the Fulham by election as a Conoisseur of Wine candidate so as to boost the sales of his wine business. Apparently it worked.

Is that meant to be a prediction for the length of the thread? Perhaps we should do a prediction competition for the length of the thread for each constituency. Bla bla bla fault points nearest something something four weeks in advance nearest wins.

I'm not sure a prediction competition where we can manipulate the outcomes of the results we're predicting would work...

Are you suggesting that Farage set the whole thing up by any chance? No! Certainly not. I was suggesting that if it had been Oswald Mosley, or Nick Griffin, or (insert name here of a non-specific politician in a foreign country) then the minders / bodyguards would have grabbed the assailant and beaten him/her up. The fact that Farage's minders didn't do so may be because of a lack of planning, or of foresight, or of management, or of guts.
