Danyaal Mahmud, who first doused Mr. Robinson, told the newspaper The Observer that he had taken the action after becoming offended by what Mr. Robinson had been saying to him. The moment was captured on video and quickly spread on social media. A day later, in a different city in northern England, Mr. Robinson was again splattered with milkshake. He has been hit with four separate milkshake attacks so far. Other attacks on the far right have been encouraged on social media with the hashtag #SplashTheFash.
