I don't think relatives of Jo Cox or David Ames would agree that Farage is more physically attacked than any other politician. Has he been shot/ stabbed? He's had a couple of milkshakes chucked at him.

From what I read, it said the investiagtions would be suspended.

I am thinking, if he is re elected, the investigations cannot, or would not continue.
I could be wrong on all counts.

Back to the original post here, I’d like to ask anyone on here from his constituency, what positive changes has Farage made in the last two years for your area?

I find it totally unbelievable that he genuinely feels he is picked on by the media and his statement that he is the most in need of security, over and above, every other politician, and that he’s verbally and physically attacked across many years (all of which appears to have totally bypassed the media)

We have our holiday home in St Osyth, right inside FarageLand. Given the demographic there it’s likely he’ll be re-elected.

Why is he doing this? Is it a trick to take attention away from Andy Burnham or to take the heat off the ethics committee?

He has triggered a by-election for Clacton but is saying he will stand again in the election , letting the people of Clacton decide!!
Our of curiosity is anyone from the area on here , did you vote for him last time , will you vote for him again? I don't think what he done is right it was not but, one wonders where British Politics is going it seems the media is increasingly being judge and jury, not sure what I think of this either.
