I am having a tidy up of Communities/etc so quite a few will go. There’ll be some warning, but it will be done before August.

    The milkshakes thing is in relation to UK politics - I live in the UK.

    There was a spate of people throwing milkshakes at right-wing and far-right politicians. And some on the right (and the far-right) lost their rag over it and said “If they throw milkshakes they could throw acid”. Which, as I said, is bullshit nonsense.

    “These people who throw milkshakes could be throwing acid”

    No, they couldn’t. They made a conscious decision to throw a milkshake at someone because a milkshake is not going to hurt that person. It won’t burn them. It won’t injure them. It won’t damage them in any way other than to get milkshake on them.

    Throwing milkshakes and throwing acid are two WILDLY different things and to try to suggest they are the same is just bullshit.

    It’s like throwing a chair in a pool and throwing a baby in a pool.
