    It was a setup. The woman is the girlfriend of a reform party member. Farage has form for this sort of publicity stunt.

    Edit

    https://ibb.co/wsygrdp

    Farage is all anyone is talking about at the moment, the stunt seems to have worked.

    Edit

    According to the BBC a woman’s been charged, so it seems like the initial skepticism was misplaced.

    Staged to get into the media spotlight by any means necessary. The security guy is wearing that jacket zipped for a reason; is looking right at her; is not reacting in any way to stop her. Looking at the reaction of the crowd, it looks like the work of a sophist; the true hallmark of the Right.

          Of course the horribly sexist comment was intended as a joke. A sexist joke is sexist.

            Calling someone a life sized Barbie is a sexist comment, but writing the comment makes the commenter sexist in the same way that playing the T-1000 makes Arnold Schwarzenegger an android from the future.

              I had more of a problem with the ownership words than the description of the woman as looking Barbie-like

                Still, you’re not getting it. The commenter is speaking from the perspective of the type of person who would do this. They are doing so to mock that type of person. If you give the commenter the benefit of the doubt, assuming that they are not on the side of the rightwing psychopaths they are explicitly criticizing, then it makes sense.
