Two days after a milkshake was thrown in the face of Tommy Robinson, the former EDL member was seen enjoying a different kind of dairy product in Blackpool today.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was spotted treating himself to an ice cream while campaigning to become an MEP for the North-West in the upcoming European Parliament elections this month.
The hard-right activist is held a rally in Blackpool this morning to drum up support for his candidacy, according to local media.

Although he is a special advisor to UKIP leader Gerard Batten, the 36-year-old is standing as an independent candidate because he is banned from having UKIP party membership.
His visit to Blackpool was marred by a group of anti-Tommy Robinson protestors who taunted the activist over his milkshake onslaught in recent weeks. On two separate occasions, milkshakes were thrown at the activist in the greater Manchester area.
