Nigel Farage has fiercely criticized the justice system after Victoria Thomas Bowen, an OnlyFans model who threw a milkshake in his face, avoided jail time.

The 25-year-old launched the banana milkshake at Farage during a campaign event in Clacton-on-Sea on June 4, leaving the former UKIP leader visibly humiliated in front of cameras.

The Milkshake Assault

Bowen targeted Farage as he exited a local pub, splattering the yellow milkshake across his dark blue suit.

Photographs of the incident captured the dramatic moment, which quickly became a viral sensation.

The mother-of-one, who donned a grey dress and sunglasses on her court appearance, was sentenced to 13 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, after pleading guilty to assault by beating and criminal damage.

Farage’s Outrage and Security Concerns

Farage expressed his fury online, describing the suspended sentence as evidence of “two-tier justice.”

In a victim impact statement, he detailed the humiliation he experienced, adding that the incident had heightened his concerns about public safety.

“This could have been something far worse than a milkshake,” he said, citing the increasing risks politicians face during public engagements.

Court’s Verdict and Controversy

The court acknowledged the gravity of the attack, with the judge condemning it as a targeted act against democracy.

However, Bowen’s defense team argued her actions were impulsive, attributing them to mental health struggles and personal distress.

Despite the judge’s criticisms, the suspended sentence sparked mixed reactions, with some calling it lenient and others viewing it as a measured response.

A Divisive Figure

Bowen, who admitted to targeting Farage due to his political views, has faced backlash online, including threats of violence.

Speaking about her motivations, she said she acted out of frustration, feeling that Farage did not represent her or her community.

The incident has drawn attention to growing tensions between public figures and their critics, reigniting debates about acceptable forms of protest.

Moving Forward

Bowen was ordered to complete community service, rehabilitation activities, and pay compensation to Farage and his security officer.

As she attempts to move on from the widely publicized attack, Farage has reiterated his concerns about political safety and the need for stronger deterrents against such acts.

The case remains a flashpoint in discussions about public accountability and political activism.
