Police ask McDonald’s to halt milkshake sales during Farage rally
Edinburgh branch also stopped ice-cream sales after rightwing politicians targeted with drinks
Police asked a McDonald’s restaurant near an Edinburgh venue where Nigel Farage was speaking not to sell milkshakes because of concerns protesters might throw them at the Brexit party leader.
A sign appeared on Friday in the window of the McDonald’s on New Market Road, which is less than 200 metres from the Corn Exchange where the campaign rally was to take place, saying: “We will not be selling milkshakes or ice-creams tonight. This is due to a police request given recent events.”
