Nigel Farage appears to be struck with milkshake by protester
Nigel Farage has condemned a Gay Pride event in Chesterfield after the LGBT celebration urged punters to "toss a milkshake" at a cardboard cutout of the Reform UK leader.
Attendees of the pride event, organised by Stand Up to Racism, were able to win prizes for hitting different coloured circles on the Nigel Farage model, including sweets and Stand up to Racism badges.
The stall offered punters sponge balls in four "flavours", representing mango, raspberry mint and blueberry milkshakes.
The attraction made light of the assault suffered by Mr Farage while campaigning in Clacton during the general election.
Mr Farage has now told The Express that while he is "all for mockery and a good laugh", he suggests that "this goes too far".

The newly-elected MP added: “Liberal intolerance is clear for all to see”.
The Derbyshire Times also reported one local man, Richard McAllister, who drew attention to the pride stall, fuming: “I think it's particularly unacceptable after the assassination attempt on former President Trump”.
"It's pernicious and the organisers should never have allowed this. The police seem to have had lots of eyes on the ground and they should have picked this up.
"The law has to be applied equally to everyone, we can't have them turning a blind eye to any threat of violence. This is not how liberal democracy works.”
However Stand up to Racism has insisted that the attraction was merely “light-hearted” and “harmless fun”.

Misjudging Mr Farage’s reaction, a spokesman said: “We like to think it’s the sort of game that Nigel himself would smile at. He is surely aware that although four million people voted for him, many more object to his views on LGBT rights, women’s rights and migrants”.
"Nobody was harmed and many people had a good laugh and welcomed our presence. Some community police officers did stroll past but clearly thought it was harmless fun too.
"The spirit of Chesterfield Pride is a joyful day-out in defence of a serious cause. That was the spirit of the game too.”
