Nigel Farage criticises Chesterfield Pride event’s milkshake ‘game’

Nigel Farage has condemned a milkshake-tossing game at Chesterfield Pride, claiming it promotes liberal intolerance, while event organisers defend it as harmless fun.

Nigel Farage has voiced strong disapproval of a game featured at a Chesterfield Gay Pride event, which encouraged attendees to “toss a milkshake” at a cardboard cutout bearing his likeness. The event, organised by Stand Up to Racism, included a stall where participants could win prizes such as sweets and badges by hitting specific coloured circles on the Nigel Farage model. The game utilised sponge balls themed as different milkshake “flavours” — mango, raspberry, mint, and blueberry.

The attraction appeared to spoof an assault incident involving Farage, where he was struck by a milkshake while campaigning in Clacton during the general election. Responding to the event, Farage told The Express that although he supports mockery and humour, he believed this crossed a particular line. He remarked, “Liberal intolerance is clear for all to see.”

The event and its game sparked mixed reactions among local residents. Richard McAllister, a local man, compared the incident unfavourably with the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. McAllister stated, “It’s pernicious, and the organisers should never have allowed this. The police seem to have had lots of eyes on the ground and they should have picked this up.”

Stand Up to Racism defended their game as benign and in keeping with the spirit of the Pride event. A spokesperson for the organisation explained, “We like to think it’s the sort of game that Nigel himself would smile at. He is surely aware that although four million people voted for him, many more object to his views on LGBT rights, women’s rights, and migrants.” They added that no one was harmed and that the game was generally well-received, concluding, “The spirit of Chesterfield Pride is a joyful day-out in defence of a serious cause. That was the spirit of the game too.”
