    I mean, we’ve literally had two MPs murdered in the last 8 years.

    It wasn’t “just a milkshake” then, was it?

      No, the stepping stone drug that is a milkshake was probably the start point though. Then protesters craved harder and harder objects to throw at politicians and it ended, as we could all have predicted, by those two poor politicians being crushed under a gargantuan boulder.

      If only we had stopped the milkshakes.

      No, but anyone who would try to establish an equivalence between a milkshaking and a murder is, to put it kindly, perhaps not thinking it through fully.

        My point is that all of these types of incidents just mean that politicians are going to end up being more out of reach of the average person, and more out of touch as a result.

        People complain about politicians not meeting ordinary people, and this stuff is precisely why they don’t.
