In short:

A woman who threw a banana milkshake at British politician Nigel Farage during this year’s UK election campaign has been handed a suspended 13-week jail sentence.

Victoria Thomas Bowen was also ordered to pay about $300 in compensation and complete 120 hours of community service work.

What’s next?

The 25-year-old will not serve time behind bars unless she commits another criminal offence within the next 12 months.

    Why would she go to gaol for throwing a milkshake at him? Is it a greater offense to throw a milkshake at a member of parliament than it is to throw one at a regular person?

    The fine is understandable for him to pay for clothing maintenance and shampoo. No issues there, either.

    If she were an everyday office worker at some normal office, would that have mentioned that in the article? I don’t see the relevance in mentioning that she has OnlyFans. I don’t really see the relevance in mentioning that the milkshake was banana flavoured, either.

    No Nige, there isn’t a two-tier justice system. It appears you are calling for one, however.
