How people have voted for someone who shows such disrespect for the place he represents I don't know

    Have you watched any of the videos of the people in Clacton?

    Too many boomers practically jizzing in their shorts at the prospect of the Royal Navy sinking migrant boats.

    They don't care that Reform would sell of the NHS and raid their pensions, as long as the brown people are abused and kicked out.

    The clips have been pretty bad. There's been a element of only interviewing those who are confirmed reform supporters.

    Anyone with a different attitude got shot down sharpish by the reporters.

    Ofcom needs to investigate the coverage of the by election.

    Brave Sir Frogface ran away.
    Bravely ran away, away!
    When danger reared its ugly head,
    He bravely turned his tail and fled.
    Yes, brave Sir Frogface turned about
    And gallantly he chickened out.
    Bravely taking to his feet
    He beat a very brave retreat,
    Bravest of the brave, Sir Frogface!

    I don’t think he will loose the election, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a looser.

    If he wins by a landslide, he will still have the enquiry into his cryptobro bribe. If he almost looses, he almost lost to a bloke with a bin on his head.

    Edit: Results are in: BinFace had just under 1/3rd of the votes, Fascist Scam Artist had just over 2/3rd of the votes, did not attend the count and did not give a victory speech. Utter contempt for his constituents.

    Quite disappointing that it was only a 44% voter turnout with all the publicity around it.

    Almost 9.5k people made the point they'd rather have a novelty candidate in charge than a charlatan. And honestly I think Binface would have been a good MP. Sure, the bar is low compared to Froggie.

    Whatever the result had been, Five Mil Fashy would have lost.

    Let the investigations (re)commence!

    "loose" is the opposite of tight.

    "lose" (one O) is the opposite of win.

    Well, FarReich is also a loose cunt, given all the foreign interest dick he keeps taking.

    ^disclaimer: only proverbial vaginas like Ser Frogface, can become loose. Biological vaginas do NOT.^

    Clacton must be fuuuucked that they still voted for Baron Greenback, even with no serious competition.

    I read this thing in the guardian about how it's unfair to call everyone in Clacton credulous fuckwits:

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/12/farage-clacton-human-zoo-truth-town

    You’re all thick, racist, gullible, hateful, toothless, jobless old fools, we were told. You deserve him. The worst of the snobbery was, sadly, on my lefty social media platform of choice, Bluesky

    Oh no not bluesky! You musn't generalise! Some of us are ok!

    Fuck that, nuke Clacton
