Free milkshakes offered to Farage and supporters at polling station

In case you’re one of the few people that hasn’t muted the word ‘milkshake’ yet on social – cheers The Fringe Left and Right in 2019, your efforts to co-opt and ruin everything good is ticking along at breakneck pace, I can’t wait for you to politicise Sunday roasts, you joyless drones – you might like this quick and dirty stunt by ‘plant-powered’ drinks brand, Plenish.

Jumping on the milkshaking (I’m so sad it now makes perfect sense as a verb) of Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage while out and about campaigning the other day, a ‘free m*lkshakes’ stand has been erected at a polling station in Farage’s South East England constituency, in Kent, where he is standing as an MEP in today’s European elections.

That serious real-time political commentary will likely include this effort today is testament to a) the idea and timing of execution – snaps for Plenish and b) the, ahem, interesting times we live in.

World-weary? ME?

Woosah.

Anyway, founder Kara Rosen is skirting with certain gammon-y retribution (and threats of boycotting by people that had never considered buying one in the first place) with her quote, saying: “There’s been a lot of talk around milkshakes in politics recently, so we thought we’d offer Nigel one he can actually enjoy – unless he’d prefer it served over his suit.”
