Farage takes shelter on bus after ‘milkshake’ threat

Nigel Farage had been forced to seek refuge on his campaign bus after being stalked by people carrying milkshakes in Kent, according to reports.

Following a tour of Dartford and Gravesend before Thursday’s EU elections, things took a unfortunate turn for Farage in Rochester, where three young men wearing balaclavas with their hoods up were spotted by a supporter.

He was then told to stay on the bus. Its driver, Michael Bolton, told the Kent Live website: “There are a couple of guys standing over there with milkshakes, they were going to throw them over him.

“But the police are there, we’ve spotted them and now Nigel isn’t getting off the bus.”

According to Kent Live, Farage eventually got off the bus but remained cautiously close to the vehicle as he spoke to some of his supporters, despite having strolled along the high street in the other Kent towns.
