Nigel Farage has condemned a Gay Pride event in Chesterfield after the LGBT celebration urged punters to “toss a milkshake” at a cardboard cutout of the Reform UK leader.

Attendees of the pride event, organised by Stand Up to Racism, were able to win prizes for hitting different coloured circles on the Nigel Farage model, including sweets and Stand up to Racism badges.

The stall offered punters sponge balls in four “flavours”, representing mango, raspberry mint and blueberry milkshakes.

The attraction made light of the assault suffered by Mr Farage while campaigning in Clacton during the general election.

Mr Farage has now told The Express that while he is “all for mockery and a good laugh”, he suggests that “this goes too far”

The newly-elected MP added: “Liberal intolerance is clear for all to see”.

The Derbyshire Times also reported one local man, Richard McAllister, who drew attention to the pride stall, fuming: “I think it’s particularly unacceptable after the assassination attempt on former President Trump”.

While Derbyshire Police said it had received a complaint, they said no further action is being taken.

    No kidding. My statement was made in the context of the article, where he’s spewing BS and pointing it out that it is BS.

    Here, I’ll expand more f9r your benefit.

    let them do and say whatever they want …

    Without arguments or counterpoint, or pointing out how fing dumb the statements/actions/whatever are.

    And at no time did anyone in this thread condone violence to silence them. Where did you get that from?
