Paul Crowth­er admitt­ed assaul­t, crimin­al damage after throwi­ng milksh­ake at himLONDON: A man who threw a milkshake at Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage was on Tuesday ordered to carry out 150 hours of community service and pay the British politician £350 ($438, 391 euros) in compensation. Judge Bernard Begley told Crowther he was guilty of an “act of crass stupidity”, ordering him to do 150 hours of unpaid work. UK’s May quits as party leader, starting succession raceCrowther told reporters at the time of the milkshake assault on Farage that his action was “a right of protest against people like him”. “The bile and the racism he spouts out in this country is far more damaging than a bit of milkshake to his front,” Crowther said. In March, a man was jailed for 28 days for striking opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn while holding an egg, in a pro-Brexit protest.
