The Clacton by election was meant to be a kick in the ballots for the establishment yet turned out to be an orgy of victimhood and rage. Poor Nigel. Everyone was ganging up on him. What a stichup. What has he done wrong? Nobody cares about Posh George or his mum. And why shouldn’t a Crypto currency millionaire bung Nigel £5 million quid? It was a personal gift. And none of anyone’s business. Why shouldn’t he earn a few bob after the years of financial sacrifice to make Great Britain Great again? We’ve cast off the shackles of the EU empire. Because of him. We are no longer enslaved. We are breathing the heady air of freedom. Rejoice. None of this could have happened without plucky Nigel standing up to the treacherous Uniparty. The cowards. And what is the difference between Kemi and Andy? Nothing. They are both socialists hell bent on raising our taxes and forcing us to rejoin Europe, and don’t give a damn about the Muslim invaders. They are terrified of Nigel who has been sticking two fingers up to Johnny Foreigner for thirty years. That’s why they put up Count Binface. Jesus, the man used to work for the BBC! Need we say any more?
Sadly, they do. They can’t stop. It’s like a madness that is infecting social media. Reform has transformed into the Adams family on crack. Nothing researched. Nothing thought through. Just spare body parts nobody wants. Say anything. Promise anything. Who cares if it is completely undeliverable? Who care if it breaches international law? They will give criticism no quarter. Who cares if they lie? Foul abuse is the norm.
Yusuf is just a bully. Braverman a nightmare. Jenrick a sociopath who hates himself more than he hates Kemi Badenoch. The list goes on and on. The only reasonably normal person is Tice, and even he had a me,to down on the airwaves today. The rest are oddballs, misfits, failures, seething with grievances and drunk on ambition.
There are those whom should know better who are demanding that the right should unite (good morning Mr Heath). One big happily family. Kemi and Nigel working in perfect harmony. It is not just delusional, it is insane, unworkable nonsense. The whole point of Kemi Conservatives is that they are not just playing to our base, but reaching out to the thousands who desperately want to vote Conservative again and return to the fold. It can be done. And it will be, provided that we are not infected with the Reform disease of rage and grievance.
Let’s get real about Clacton. Farage was always going to win. It was pretty obvious that no major party would dignify an ill thought out stunt to save him from the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner. He defeated a man with a bin on his head whom well over 9,000 voted for. Farage increased his majority by a thousand votes. He now has the repulsive Restore to deal with. He and Lowe despise each other and Restore are eating away at Reform’s core vote. Farage’s personal popularity is in free fall. Yusuf is off the leash and is on manoeuvres. Jenrick and Braverman having sniffed blood, now want to taste it. The sharks are circling. And I suspect that Moggy is sniffing the air for the main chance. I would put him on defection watch.
That is why Farage was looking rattled this morning. He refused to attend the count. He rather foolishly said in a speech that Essex Police warned him to stay away. That was flatly denied by them. The next line is that he didn’t want to be ‘humiliated by nobodies’. That would be nearer the truth. And he cancelled his 10:30 press conference. Scrutiny is his Kryptonite. That’s why he despises the press.
This by election has been an unedifying farce. In a week there will be a musical at the Clacton Cliffs Pavilion. It’s called totally Gaga. Like uniting the Right
