Right now, nothing is confirmed, but that tweet needs investigating re. the dates.

Indeed, what's your gut feeling?

I didn't get hit by anything today, but imagine I had been soaked by a thrown milkshake and then imagine if it had been acid.

Yes. It’s not murder. If someone threw a drink over someone on a night out and the police were called, unless the alleged victim was determined to pursue a prosecution, the very most the suspect would receive would be a section 35 order to leave the area for 12 hours.
Murder carries somewhat more serious consequences.

My gut feeling is that you're desperately trying to score points.

I googled ‘common assault, jailed’, and it turns out, a lot.

Absolute nonsense and fake news.
The person who did it is a ‘model’ who did it for attention.
Woman, 25, arrested for chucking milkshake at Nigel Farage is OnlyFans model
THE woman who chucked a banana milkshake over Nigel Farage is a Labour-supporting OnlyFans model, The Sun can reveal. Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, threw the drink over the Reform leader as he launche…

I guarantee you that throwing a drink over someone would result in nothing more than a section 35 in the vast majority of cases.
Common assault covers a huge range of actions. Throwing a drink is at the very bottom scale of severity.

And you can get six months in prison for it, as she should.

No, she shouldn’t.
And the police would be very reluctant to criminalise someone for a moment of stupidity.
If it wasn’t a high profile figure that had been assaulted, she wouldn’t have been arrested. Unless she kicked off with the police. Which is a different matter.

it’s getting silly now this thread. She will have been arrested, booked in, interviewed and police bailed. She will get a magistrate court summons in a few months from now, she’ll plead guilty and say she’s very sorry, and the magistrate will give her a community service order, told to be a good girl and not do it again. She gets free advertising and sells subscriptions to her porn site, muppet Farage gets media screen time and maybe a bit of sympathy from those inclined. Even McDonalds get free advertising in all the news headlines and front pages.
The only people who lose in all this are the public giving more exposure to that absolute tool.

Christ fella, I posted in between breaking info and used 'if' and 'possible'.Absolute nonsense and fake news.

We dont tear up inter generational social contracts either, no wait weve done that.Banon is projecting - it is America heading in that direction not the UK - we don’t do revolutions.

Very unlikely for a first offence. The other person who threw a milkshake over Farage received a fine and community service.
Are you aware that, due to austerity, we have few prison staff, jails which are overcrowde, and the government has directed courts not to imprison people?

Google is not always your friend. Some knowledge of the law helps too
Just throwing a milkshake at someone is Simple Battery - a separate summary offence to Assault- and where there is a minimal amount of force and minimal or no harm.
Common Assault requires the victim to be apprehended by violence (unlawful contact with the victim doesn’t even have to occur)
Common Assault and Battery requires both elements and is a more serious offence and punishment is depending on harm caused and any aggravating circumstances but both summary offences in Magistrate’s Court who have the power to impose a maximum of 6 months imprisonment for any summary offence (cases heard by a Magistrate) rather than an ‘either or offence’ where the punishment can be much higher (ie cases that could be heard in Crown Court or Magistrates)
Without harm to the person caused, and a first offence, it is very very unlikely to be a custodial sentence (unless there’s aggravating circumstances) She could be charged with minor criminal damage to his clothing too (perhaps to the value of his dry cleaning bill). The most likely outcome - She/they will be released on bail and end up with a modest fine, or a few hours community service or be let off with a reprimand not to do it again.
