I think pouring an entire milkshake over someone is getting a bit extreme when it comes to throwing food, but it is funny when it happens to people I don't like, like Sargon or Tommy Robinson.
I'm just concerned about this seeming OK to people on the right, and they inevitably take it to the next level. And the response to pouring a drink over someone will usually be violent. Not to mention, in the current climate with acid attacks on the rise, throwing a liquid over someone in public is not a great idea.
So whilst it is funny and has produced some amusing pictures, I hope it stops.

The Right has already shot and murdered an MP. Milkshakes are quite a few levels below that.

He goes by Tommy Robinson to appear "common [white working class] man"
People are denying him that, hoping his supporters might realise they're being played.

He took the name Tommy Robinson from a well known Luton football hooligan. Why he did I don’t know.
He’s never changed his name officially and so people use Yaxley-Lennon rather than his hooligan name. As he has a conviction for travelling under a passport with a false name, it’s probably best we don’t let him have too many other identities.
