    I must be out of the loop because I have no idea what throwing milkshakes is a reference to, but I assume national guard troops.

    That makes more sense what it has to do with politics now.

    OTOH if you threw a chair into the pool where I swim, they would kick you out too, lol, but they are legally not allowed to ban you because they’re funded by public money.

    The context that the pool is empty is crucial though.

      The milkshakes thing is in relation to UK politics - I live in the UK.

      There was a spate of people throwing milkshakes at right-wing and far-right politicians. And some on the right (and the far-right) lost their rag over it and said “If they throw milkshakes they could throw acid”. Which, as I said, is bullshit nonsense.

        I would have just taken that as permission. “He said I could throw acid as long as I threw a milkshake first!”
