| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 3rd Jun 2024. 16:33 Nigel Farage has said that he will stand for election in Clacton, and that he is taking over leadership of Reform UK, and he intends to “lead a political revolt” and “a turning of our backs on the political status quo.” He told the audience at a Reform UK event in London: Nothing in this country works anymore. The health service doesn’t work. The roads don’t work. None of our public services are up to scratch. We are in decline. This will only be turned around with boldness. We’re very, very much on the side of that little guy or woman. We’re very much on the side of growth. We’re very much on the side of ending the poisoning of our education system, where 50% of young people don’t even know what D-day is. So make no mistake. We are unashamedly patriotic. We believe that it’s right to put the interests of British people first. We believe Brexit needs to be implemented properly. And we are going to be the voice of opposition. And I tell you what, I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again. I will surprise everybody. He said their ambition is to be the opposition in this parliament and the largest party by 2029. Reply |
| 2. Author: DBP Date: Mon 3rd Jun 2024. 16:58 So is that him admitting that Westminster can’t run a country and that rUK is a total mess? I suppose you can’t really deny that given the headlines… …but in the next breath he’ll be making out that we’re too little/stupid/etc to do any better and that we’re doing better because we’re being governed by Westminster. I even heard the current chancellor on telly last week saying it wasn’t Liz truss fault that mortgages went up after her disastrous mini budget, and it was really external events!

| 4. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 3rd Jun 2024. 17:12 You`re forgetting he has no self-awareness. Somebody pointed out something he said not so long ago. In February he told the Times “Do I want to be an MP? Do I want to spend every Friday for the next five years in Clacton?” Reply |
| 5. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 3rd Jun 2024. 17:32 It`s good to know there`s been no significant British history since the 1940s though. I`m sure teaching kids about events 80 years ago will bring out some true British values. We should do away with these modern cars too. Nothing wrong with an old Austin. Reply |

| 7. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 20th Jun 2024. 22:47 Do these percentages take into account first past the post is basically a crap voting system though? Reply |
| 8. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Thu 20th Jun 2024. 22:52 No they don`t. You have to look at polling in individual constituencies, let`s pick one at random....er, Clacton for example.  Reply |
| 9. Author: Andrew283 Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 02:09 Clacton sounds like a right wank of a place to live right enough. Reply |
| 10. Author: OzPar Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 06:51 Clacton and Farage were made for each other. Clacton is the centre of the Oik movement, and Farage is the king of the Oiks. Reply |
| 11. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 10:32 Polls really aren’t a great scope of things though. They can be manipulated to get the result the pollers want. Even independent polls will have an agenda. The silent majority are the ones who determine elections. Reply |
| 12. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 11:10 I`ve just read a piece in the Guardian interviewing a group of younger voters about the Election. Reform UK seem to be using social media a lot, in particular Tik Tok, to influence young voters and possibly by using `bots`. That`s where a lot of them get their news. Scary stuff. Reply |
| 13. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 13:01 Definite Russian money involved in Reform. How people can`t see them is beyond me. As dodgy as they come. Reply |
| 14. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 21:13 jake89, Fri 21 Jun 13:01 People dont want to see it thats why 😂😂 Reply |
| 15. Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 21:41 You do have to worry who is financing and backing Farage. For such a shallow soundbite guy he gets far too much attention. Even when he had very little support, BBC gave him an unreasonable amount of airtime. It`s actually quite frightening the way politics can be hijacked these days by simple repetitive messages, bots, Cambridge Analytica, tiktok politics. It`s very sinister indeed. Democracy is dead now, people are too stupid for it Reply |
| 16. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 21:49 red-star-par, Fri 21 Jun 21:41 He has too many blue tick grifters on social media pushing his agenda. These are the like of Dan Wooton and Adam Brookes - weapons of the highest order used to push his parties rhetoric. Reply |
| 17. Author: Parboiled Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 21:50 You seem to be an authority on stupidity Reply |
| 18. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 22:01 Why do the Russians care who wins in Clacton-on-Sea? Haven’t they got a war to win? Reply |
| 19. Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 22:14 Parboiled, Fri 21 Jun 21:50 Funnily enough, I was actually thinking that the target market for Farage would be people exactly like you. A little bit thick, easily led, believes everything the Daily Mail spoonfeeds them, deeply unpopular with anyone that has the misfortune to meet them so has a huge chip on their shoulder and is on the look out for a scapegoat to blame I bet you lap up everything Nigel Farage says Reply |
| 20. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 21st Jun 2024. 22:49 Tad Allagash, Fri 21 Jun 22:01 Well he`s now saying it`s our fault there is a war in Ukraine. Nice one, idiot. Reply |
