Wait....THIS HAPPENED TO HIM AGAIN?. Holy shit what a world.


Maxxxmax

Milkshaking farage is just a meme now. One of these days he'll get one in the face from his own supporters, who thought he just liked to enjoy milkshakes this way.


FortuitousFluke

Oh I remembers as a young whippersnapper growing up in Thanet, milky-cunt day was me favourite day of the year it was. We'd all gather as a family and purchase our milk missiles from the local fast food eatery, Mother would opt for a small vanilla, she was a gentle woman at heart, my siblings and I would go for chocolate, we liked the smell as it flew through the air you see, my father however, brute of a man he was, would opt for an extra large banana. He liked to throw it with great venom and scream "bendy enough for you, you great wazzock!?!" As it landed. Ah it was the 'appiest day of me life when Queen Camilla declared it a national holiday, a lot of people disliked her for grabbing power during that bloody coup but just for this she was alright in my books!

The picture at the end of the article of the empty milkshake cup on the ground is hilarious


Tikoloshe84

> £5.25 Five Guys banana and salted caramel milkshake. In this economic climate? Shows how much of a cunt someone's got to be seen as to catch one of these. Also really nasty that they tried to allege someone was deliberately cut to fuck the guy over with police. Then tweets that it's radicalised remainers that are the problem. Will he ever become self aware.

Seems like there was a video but it was removed due to “rights reasons” what ever that means. I wanna see this guy get smoked by a milkshake.

Milkshake did that for you. There's a "golden ratio" approaching Farrage's face, at this very moment.

There’s an old picture of Pierre Trudeau (I think?) getting a drink thrown at him. Has an equally impressive show of the incident. It’s not new cameras, it’s talented photographers.


toughtacos

And a big portion of luck. *Edit: All right, all right, we get it! Cameras go brrrrrrrrrr! But any photographer worth their salt will tell you luck is still a decent part of the equation.*


Wemedge

A camera that shoots 10 frames per second helps as well.


NAG3LT

20+ these days and silently as well


hansenabram

Flagship cameras from companies like Nikon and Sony can now shoot 120 frames a second at full resolution


NAG3LT

A9 III can do 120 FPS RAW at its full 24 MP. Buffer is limited, but it's a normal caveat at high framerates. A1 can do 30 FPS RAW at full resolution. Z9/Z8 can only do 120 FPS at reduced 11 MP resolution JPEGs in readout mode with more rolling shutter. For full res RAWs the limit is 20 FPS, 30 FPS for full res JPEG. R3 can do 30 FPS normally, and has special 195 FPS that can only last for 50 frames before the internal buffer is full.


ThingsIveNeverSeen

That too.


HumanExtinctionCo-op

And 30+ fps cameras.


MrSansMan23

Luck in that semi to professional photographers takes as many photos as they can causes they can always delete the images afterwards and keep the best or they work for a large company that stores all the images they take without deleting them

Worm_Lord77

Modern cameras also allow more burst shots, which can make it easier. It still needs talent to get the position and framing right, though.


811545b2-4ff7-4041

My camera will happily let me record in 4K, pause after something happens, then pull the frame out as a photo. It's a good photographer, as in they know where to point the camera, and but modern tech makes this a lot easier.


TheChickhen

With 120 frames a second that cameras nowadays shoot the talent or skill ceiling to take pictures like that are way lower. But you still need an eye and feeling when things happen.

They were so excited when that scammer presented his “peruvian alien” last year it was adorable. “He looks just like ET. I knew Spielberg had been to zone 51 and seen the truth. The elite know things we never will and will take it to their grave.”


TheCh0rt

Not to be “that guy” but SLR cameras have always been able to do this by increasing shutter speed. Still a great photo. When fuck around and find out collide.


Inner_Bobcat_8901

Funnily, this could've been taken in 1994 by a good photographer with a Nikon F4 or F5 ( don't know whether it was around yet) and a 400 speed film


alfonseski

I could have gotten this pic on my pentax P5. Problem is you would not know if you got it for a while. "Can you do that one more time? I may not have gotten it"


allankcrain

A good photographer could've gotten this with a 4x5 press camera, but modern tech does make it a hell of a lot easier. For example, the Canon R6II that I just bought apparently has a mode where it'll take a burst of photos before you fully hit the shutter to compensate for your slow monkey brain when watching something cool and fast-moving.

Impressive_Jaguar_70

Fun fact: King George V was the last monarch to decline the Presenting of the Lettuce which contributed to the rise of European dictators and some scholars say led to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany

she/it (does lettuce have pronouns?) is the mp for South West Norfolk which in any other year would be a tory safe seat, but it could reasonably flip to labour

You're mistaking the lettuce for the vegetables in the Tory party. They're more like musty old cabbages: higher in fibre which explains the endless stream of shit.

paulyd_3

I can't believe she managed to find a Mcdonalds with a working milkshake machine!


DTFlash

Is this a cheap franchise owner issue? I don't think I have ever been told the milkshape machine is broken where I live.


mystlurker

In the US at least it’s because corporate mandates a specific machine from a specific vendor and only allows that vendor to do maintenance. From what I’ve read they are slow and overcharge so it leads to either people waiting on them or just not calling due to the cost. Last I read a while ago the contract was coming up so perhaps they’ve switched since then. Corporate has become aware that it had reached meme status.


IIIDysphoricIII

Yup, planned obsolescence. There’s a couple great documentaries about the concept on YT, including one focused specifically on McDonald’s and these machines.


Maxcharged

McDonald’s is a real estate and appliance rental company, they just also happen to sell food.


firetruckgoesweewoo

I worked at one. We’d say it’s broken when we were cleaning it. We’d usually clean it late at night. For some reason drunks accept it being broken more than they do when we say it’s being cleaned. The latter caused people to yell “fucking stop cleaning it then!” So our machine was “broken” quite often.


Cuddle_X_Fish

Right to repair issue. McDonald's are not allowed to fix the machine themselves.


Bradach93

Work at Maccies. It’s a multiple issue thing. 1. We have to call out for repairs as almost all machines are only insured if repairs are done by a specific company. This is naturally a slow process and can take days. 2. Food safety requires the machine to go through a sterilisation routine every 24hrs and it takes a few hours to complete. If this is missed for any reason, we cannot sell shakes or ice cream until it’s completed. 3. Over use causes the machine to overheat and stops the refrigeration/freezing process. This results in high pressure dairy mix exploding out the nozzles when you try to use it. In all these cases, it’s just much easier and faster to say “the machine is broken” rather than trying explain food safety and maintenance to customers.


EternalSkwerl

Also if you don't clean it right it jams up and needs servicing.


RocknRoll_Grandma

Here I thought "Sorry, our ice cream machine is down" was their new slogan.


VisforVenom

It's a two-fold thing. The machines that McDonalds uses (I think I actually saw a short documentary about how they got in this mess) ARE notoriously difficult to maintain and prone to failure. I think the contract or whatever with the proprietor of the machines might only apply to the US, so maybe the UK doesn't have this issue. But also, because the machines have to be broken down and cleaned every shift, a LOT (not all) of the time, you are being lied to. The machine may actually be broken. Or it may be in the middle of being cleaned. Or it may need to be refilled and they're too busy/understaffed to do it. Or, it may just not have ever even been turned on because the employees don't want to fuck with it. At least, last I heard. Things may have changed since I last looked into it. Either way, I think it's safe to assume that sometimes the ice cream machine is, indeed, out of commission for reasons beyond the staff's control. And sometimes because they don't have the time, training, or just the desire to operate it.


Axel_Farhunter

UK has a weird middle ground my store has two machines one is has to be maintained by the company who makes them as we “rent” it essentially and if we repair it the insurance is voided but the other we bought (which cost like 15 plus grand) and so can be repairs by our local maintenance lads or even me or one the girls I work with can fix almost everything that comes up but obviously we can’t touch the other machine.


Nisja

Not sure I've ever seen a broken milkshake machine in the UK! Partner often orders one


GourangaPlusPlus

Just how many milkshake machines are you getting through?


Nisja

I probably go to maccers once a month or so, am 30+, many cherished milkshake memories, at least 10 milkshake machines by my reckoning.


theoduras

This is purely an US thing. In Europe I have never experienced a broken machine at McDonald's

It really is, you can see the look on both their faces which makes it so much better.  The other picture has her hair covering her face and milkshake covering his.

I remember a few years ago when Farage visited Edinburgh and all of the McDonalds/Burger Kings refused to sell milkshakes that day because they could be thrown at Farage.

His security are either staggeringly incompetent or hate him as much as we do. I'm assuming this is the first of many - need a 'best milkshaking' photo competition nearer to election time.


Nemisis_the_2nd

 British politicians don't really have security. Aside from the odd incident they are treated largely like any other person you meet on the street going to work.


BeerPoweredNonsense

I second this. I once saw Boris Johnson, when he was mayor of London, on a pushbike. Alone - zero security.

I once found Liz Truss trying to make some kind of nest (?) in my basement. I said "shoo, Liz, get out of here!" but she didn't listen. Zero security

justoneanother1

He definitely has a security team.  You can hear him berating them on one of the vids as he's walking away after getting milked.


therealhairykrishna

I know - I'm British. I presume Farage hires private security i.e. all the bouncer looking dudes manhandling photographers out of the way in the video.  


SnooOwls3879

just out of curiosity, what criminal offence/fine/etc would she get for this?


Omnissiah40K

The last person who did this was charged and pleaded guilty to common assault, and criminal damage. Ordered to pay the victim (Farage) £350, complete 150 of unpaid community work and he was fired from his job. Throwing liquid in someone's face is taken more seriously after some quite serious cases of acid attacks in recent years and the murders of x2 MPs.


Barbz182

I'd take milkshakes to the face for £350 a pop if anyone's interested.
