What a waste of maple syrup! I'd rather pour maple syrup over someone I love, not someone I hate. Golden syrup works well for that too.

There's an old Quebecois saying that you get Aunt Jemima's from tapping telephone poles.
Never heard of it and I still don't get the joke if there is one.
And Aunt Jemima's? Who the heck still buys that? Even straight corn syrup tastes better than Aunt Jemima's.
Aunt Jemima ... It's 100% synthetic ... telephone pole ... synthetic tree ...
You gotta keep your eye on the ball, son!
Eye ... Ball ... That's a joke, son!
Wow, that's a huge stretch.
I think I prefer milkshakes and pies and whatnot, to shoes or guns or knives. Only thing to get 'hurt' is your ego and your clothes. The latter stuff hurts you sometimes fatally.
It's not that milkshakes hurts. It's the principle of the thing and the effect it has on democracy. By throwing milkshake at a political candidate just because you don't agree with their views means not only that you are a thick unintelligent moron who thinks everyone running in elections should have the same views as you but that it scuppers the democratic process by preventing that person from campaigning as they should have a right to do in a democracy.
It's fascism: attacking someone campaigning in an election and therefore stopping them, at least temporarily, from campaigning in an election because they take differing views from you is fascism. It's what happens in fascist regimes.
The
Yep.
These Street Fighter T-shirt-wearing, avocado-munching, neck-beard hipster Remainers shouldn't expect that only they will do the milkshaking to candidates they don't like. It will just cause Leavers to go milkshaking smarmy Keir Starmer or custard pie Vince "Bollocks to Democracy" Cable. And it could escalate. If lefties keep chucking milkshake over a politician just because they hold differing views - and we can't be having that in a democracy, can we? - how long before one decided to stab a politician they disagree with?
I don't understand the mentality. What makes them think that only politicians with whom they agree with should be allowed to campaign in elections?
But you said you would like to see politicians you disagree with attacked. That's fascism, not democracy. You're a fascist.
When did I say that?
Oh, yeah.
Maple syrup. As another poster has sagely pointed out, that would be a terrible waste of maple syrup.
You do realize (or "realise") you just engaged in precisely the same behavior (or "behaviour") you resent and decry in Remainers, right? Stereotyping. Now that you have done so, you have no business whining "(or "whinging") when a Remainer refers to Brexiteers as ignorant racist lager louts in sweat-and-food stained football tops, if you were honest or intelligent.
So carry on, eh what?
