Whinging?

Some thug threw a rock/stone at him probably with the intent to do him physical harm.

 

The report I read was that it was one of those polystyrene take away cups.

No he won't. You just don't like him. 

Tell me, are you happy that missile missed him?

I agree with this. 

Lots of politicians get this done to them, John Prescott, Ann Widdicombe, Clare Short, Michel Heseltine have had cakes, beer and eggs thrown at them. But Farage seems to use it to make himself look like a martyr.

He may well be but its still easy to ignore him. I haven't seen anything from him for days and only stumbled on this story here. I use YouTube,  not seen anything at all on there. I'm not being funny but if you dislike him so much then just switch the TV channel or watch a different video on YouTube 👍

He really does - it's not just my opinion - it's what he does. 

Anyway this video from the event shows that many in Barnsley didn't welcome his presence either:
