Clacton by-election

The bin man is like a personification of Have I Got News For You
Smug, elitist, boring and unfunny.

IMO 😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Heat is getting to some. I say this with envy because it is very cold here. I disagree with ‘tin man’. More wooden I think. 🤔

How I wish it was cooler here! Jealous of you

Call Starmer anything you like, he didn’t take us into a pointless war and he’s made strides towards trying to make the UK a better place for all of us.

He’s not a great speaker, doesn’t set the world on fire, but I still believe him to be a calm, safe pair of hands and a man of integrity.

He can use these skills now for the good of his one constituency and his family.

There is a line in Count Binface’s manifesto that encapsulates why Britain is in such a mess. “I’ll cut your taxes,” pledges the Clacton by-election candidate, “and raise everyone else’s.”

Not my opinion. IMO Farage is a snake oil salesman with his hand in the pockets of foreign malign actors and his head.....I won't be crude but he's very keen to be Trumps BFF. He's surrounded himself with self serving grifters and rich people with suspicious links to Russia. He is in politics to make money, just like Trump and he won't make money by improving the lives of the disadvantaged, disappointed and disillusioned voter but he be well rewarded by causing chaos and division in our society by people who want to see the UK weakened.

Farage is our only saviour and that's a fact!

🤣🤣🤣 ( my opinion)

No, it’s your opinion which of course you are entitled to.
I am equally entitled to disagree with and even dismiss it.
A fact, it ain’t.

Perhaps sunshine's use of the word 'nonsense' in her description of some of the points could be considered to be rude?

all Farage knows what to do is campaign. But once he wins what he campaigns for he has no idea what to do with it.

You are right, Maybee. He’s a circus showman going from place to place with the same routine, the same patter. He’s been doing it for years. It’s all hokum.

It’s why he can’t function in Parliament because he isn’t the star of the show. He’s just a backbencher in a small party and one of 643 other MPs. Nobody takes much notice of him. He has nothing interesting or original to say.

I think he knows he’s fast running out of road as the investigations into his and Reform’s funding gathers pace with new revelations every day and police closing in on the Cottrell family.

The by-election charade is just a diversion for a few weeks.

David Bull was right when he said he should take a break. I’m not convinced he would mind very much if he did lose in Clacton. It gives him an excuse to run away - which we know he has form for.

The new YouGov polling shows 73% of people think he’s sleazy. 40% of Reform voters think he’s sleazy.

The by-election is set for the 13th August not the 6th.

This thread is getting weirder and weirder!

I look forward to returning to some form of normality tomorrow.

Good night all and I hope you all have a good weekend.

Be an interesting political day on the 6th August🤔 I have back to back work that day and the next and the next, so will look on here sometime on the Sunday to see what posters made of it all.

Aww thanks Primrose you seem one of the nicer posters on here. It seems to me some people take umbridge at the slightest thing. I think it was triggering to some that I called Starmer Tin Man.

Yup, that would be it.

Interesting post, graciemabel. Facts, of course, mean something supported by evidence.
Can you provide verification for your assertion that " Farage is our only saviour"?

Farage is our only saviour and that's a fact!

Just to be crystal clear Sunshinegirls, your response to greyfur came across as rude.

I couldn’t give a fig who you call Tin Man, and it certainly didn’t trigger me.

Just seen a clip of Farage campaigning in Walton in the Clacton constituency, yet it was too dangerous to hold surgeries there

Oh very dangerous place Walton! Full of seagulls and beach huts.

What a truly brave man!

Farage is doing this because he wants to be elected by hook and by crook. He doesn’t mind if his competitor is Binface, because if Binface loses Farage will be elected and will become more powerful anyway. So, personally, I’m hoping that Binface wins the day.

I feel like this is some kind of weird Groundhog Day.

Farage was elected, two years ago, with a strong majority.

He did not need to resign.

He is trying to prove some weird form of (non) point and frankly all he has done a make a fool of himself, the public of Clacton and our political system.

Just had a light bulb moment and realised that all Farage knows what to do is campaign. But once he wins what he campaigns for he has no idea what to do with it. Campaigning is his comfort blanket, his raison d’etre. So when confronted by all of the accusations regarding his finances he creates a situation in which he feels comfortable.

Primrose53 Does it really matter? You don’t find it rude, I do.

It’s far too hot to carry on any kind of argument with you, so I’m graciously bowing out of this particular conversation with you

It does matter because you spoke to sunshinegirls like a very bossy teacher. “Are you unable to succinctly put your points across etc” There’s no need for that.

Well said Cossy.
