MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU.
The farce that was the Clacton by election brought on for various reasons, by Nigel Farage which are well documented, went into a different unexpected level last night.
First I would like to say thank you to all the Voters of Clacton Constituency who gave us your vote..
Second we would like to thank all the other candidates, many of them local people who stood with the intention of making their Constituency a better place.
The Greatest thing about politics in the UK , is the legal ability for people to be able to stand for Parliament, their voice to be heard, no matter how extreme (almost) for any reason, Political, Self promotion or whatever.
People often do not agree, and complain about this candidate or that candidate, but what a great country we live in (for all its faults) to be able to do this, at a relatively cheap cost. (Try it in another country and see how far you get)
However as expected Nigel Farage won with a resounding victory easily beating his nearest rival Oxford educated “Jonathan David Harvey” also known as Count Binface (who gained 9,455 votes).
So lets start with Count Binface who when he arrived to his usual (deserved) fanfare was whisked away to the Press Gallery. Suprisingly he didn’t use this missed opportunity to promote his Book “What on Earth” which although I haven’t read it seems to be entertaining. Can’t wait for the Film. (There is also a Comic, but I’m not sure what his involvement is in that)
He then spent the following hours hidden away upstairs.
Elections these days it seems are now segregated into two camps, the high profile candidates who are protected and kept hidden with security, and the rest of us, who are the common people, (With the exception of Andy Burnham).
I presume their deposit of £500.00 is worth more than every other candidates.
The election itself finally ended around 6 o/c in the morning and Count Binface finally turned up at the returning officers briefing, where all 33 Candidates were notified of the result before the announcement. Count Binface pointed out that there was one significant Candidate missing (Farage), completely missing the point that he too had not been present, until the last minutes. But Hey Ho Sutch is Life.
Nigel Farage decided to let everyone know that he was not going to attend the vote , and most people heard this news around 3 o/c in the morning. It was reported that he allegedly received a credible threat to his safety, by the police , who deny this, and then allegedly by his security team..However at the time he was at a rally with his supporters, and didn’t appear to worried by any threat.
I and my co-candidates have been to many elections over the years and the security at this count was by far the most I have ever seen or experienced. There seems to be some doubt as to wether this perceived threat was inside the count or outside.
If inside, then why if there was a credible threat early on in the day, did the election count go ahead as the risk to Farage attending the Count, must also apply to the hundreds of other people in the event.
If the credible threat was outside then with the high level of security this would have been one of the safest places in Essex.
So perhaps the credible threat was that Mr Farage (a man of the people) ,may have spilled one of the many pints of beer he is so keen on showing everyone.
And then the narrative changed by Nigel Farage saying he would not attend as he (Quote) “didn’t want to be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies” (Unquote). Presumably that also includes our leader who is supposedly a friend, and all the other candidates who unlike him mainly paid their election fees themselves.
So there we have it the 30+ candidates and all the people involved in this election, which he brought about are nobodies and are not worthy of being in his in my opinion narcissistic presence.
21,000 People of Clacton may have political concerns which seem to align with Reforms /Farage,s rhetoric, and even if others don’t agree, you are entitled to your views, thats democracy, but one wonders what Mr Farage really thinks of you? If he continues to treat voters and candidates with such disdain.
One final note: I met a lot of people in Clacton, who actually lived there, and have to say they were so kind, and friendly.. Many thanks for making us so welcome.
