So, Nigel Farage won in Clacton not just with a stonking majority but with 1,000 more votes than he did last time round. But listening to politicians, Reform-haters and the left-wing media you’d think he’d been reduced to rubble by the ludicrous Captain Binface who won just 26.9% of the vote as opposed to Farage’s 63.3%. But the truth is that if every person in Clacton had voted for Farage the Establishment would still be screaming he shouldn’t be there and they’d still find reason to denigrate him.
Which is precisely what’s happening now because even though he won with a resounding 22,400 votes as opposed to Binface’s 9,455, the haters are now saying the REAL story isn’t his actual win, it’s the fact he didn’t turn up for his own vote count because he didn’t want to stand next to Binface and the other ludicrous candidates.
And I don’t blame him. Why should he stand next to Binface, AKA comic Jo Harvey, who thinks elections and democracy is a joke. Harvey doesn’t give a stuff about the people of Clacton. He’s just a fame-hungry subversive who, for a laugh, has stood against Theresa May, Boris, Rishi Sunak and Burnham in Makerfield.
Farage had made clear on election night that wouldn’t be going to the count, one, because he’d been warned there might be disruption, and two, because: “I’m damned if I am going to stand on a stage, having won a resounding victory… and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies.”
He’s right. And at least he’s had the guts to call out Binface as an attention-seeking joker who makes a mockery of democracy as opposed to Burnham who shook the idiot’s hand.
As for the accusations he was scared to go to the count. No, the scaredy cats here are all the mainstream parties who refused to put up a candidate against him for the simple reason they knew THEY’D be slaughtered and get fewer votes than they did in the general election.
So, whatever Kemi, Burnham and the nitwit Ed Davey say now – it’s all tosh. Because if they really thought they could have got rid of Farage in Clacton – they’d have stood against him. But they knew they couldn’t, so they ran away.
Don’t forget in the last election the Tories got just 12,000 votes in Clacton – just 2,000 more than Binface? How humiliated would they have been if The Bin had had beaten them this week?
As for Kemi stupidly saying Clacton deserved better than Farage. So why didn’t she stand a candidate against him?
As for those screaming this election has damaged the Reform boss – it shows how clueless they are as to how ordinary people think.
Because now he’ll be stronger. The people of Clacton just voted him back Big Time despite the hullaballoo over his £5M donation. And Yes, some will say Clacton folk aren’t representative of all Brits and their views might not tally with those of the whole country.
But hang on. Isn’t there currently another politician who got just 24,000 votes in Makerfield, yet we were told those were a proxy for support from the country as a whole. Step forward Andy Burnham – the man with no personal mandate other than from the people of Makerfield and he’s now Prime Minister.
Over the next few days you’ll hear hysterical, politicians saying Farage and Reform are finished. But that’s only in their dreams. Because the reality is that even with Burnham’s so called bounce Labour is still just 2 points ahead of Reform in the polls. And just watch that plummet when he cocks up illegal immigration and the Early Release Scheme. Wait till the scumbags he’s about to release rape or kill.
And let’s talk about these nonentities who stood in Clacton. Those idiots stood against Farage because they hate him. They saw the by-election as one big joke. But the people of Clacton didn’t. To them it matters who represents them and they don’t want whoever is running their town to be an incompetent fool who only stood to spite Farage. This election was about their lives, their futures – something these cretinous candidates don’t care about.
Neither do the mainstream political parties. Because if they thought Farage was bad for Clacton they’d have taken him on in a good clean fight.
But they didn’t have the guts.
