A LABOUR supporter sparked fury by saying Nigel Farage should have had ACID thrown at him.
The top Brexiteer was targeted by Remainer Paul Crowther who threw milkshake at him on the campaign trail yesterday.
But one activist claimed the attack didn’t go far enough in a shocking Twitter outburst.
Charity executive Ruth Townsley said: “Bravo to Paul Crowther, good on you mate.
“Great that milkshakes have become a thing when it comes to the racists in our midst. I’d prefer acid but milkshakes will do for now I guess.”
Crowther, 32, was arrested and charged with common assault over the attack.
Mr Farage blamed radical Remainer politicians for fostering an aggressive atmosphere.
Ms Townsley provoked an angry backlash after delighting in the attack on the Brexit Party leader.
One web user said: “You may not like Farage. You may not like his policies. But throwing acid in someone’s face is about as low as it gets.”
Another called on Twitter to kick her off the site, saying: “How is calling for an acid attack against a politician not grounds for an immediate, permanent, ban?”
A third critic said: “Silly, silly woman.”
A number of right-wing candidates have been targeted with milkshakes on the campaign trail in recent weeks.
