The Return of the Milkshake Truthers

Worst of all, it wasn’t just anonymous fruitcakes who flirted with the conspiracy theory. LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty hinted that the milkshaking might not be all it seemed. TV pundit Narinder Kaur also seemed to mistake Hewertson for the real milkshaker (although she has since apologised).

In case it were not already abundantly clear, Farage did not arrange for himself to be covered in banana milkshake. The alleged thrower has since been identified by Essex Police as Victoria Thomas-Bowen, a 25-year-old OnlyFans model.

I'm unclear on the meaning behind using milkshakes to assault pro-Brexit politicians; I presume it has something to do with trade in dairy products. But this is less important than the 'disinformation' that came from the Enlightened Elite about the assault -- the same people who fancy themselves the Truth Police, when in fact they are merely the realization of George Orwell's Ministry of Truth from 1984.
