Just saw Farage over in America.

Farage was asked by a Sky interviewer how much time he spent in Clacton and he said he'd just bought a house there and what more did she want!
Then he asked how much time Keir Starmer spent in his constituency. The lady pointed out that Farage wasn't Prime Minister.
She also asked about several other things that were legitimate questions but annoyed him.
I really don't understand why some people liked being lied to by grifters like Farage and Trump.

Very popular in the USA, Donal Trump inflatables (this is one of many)

Cossy. Because this Labour government is perfectly happy to do exactly that, deprive the indigenous population of the right to return to their native country. Despite all the ills of this country, these people would still prefer to live under British protection than be sold to Mauritius, who have said they will not be allowed to go back, (presumably with UN approval?!.) Lesser of two evils I guess.

But one of our posters who seems to live quite locally (i.e in Essex) said that he has bought a house in Frinton. Frinton is most definitely not Clacton, it's only similarity to Clacton is that it is on the same coast. It is far nicermore upmarket...

Still, liars do what liars do...

What has this to do with the thread topic, which is Farage in America? It's not even vaguely connected. It's not a wander or a deviation, it's a wholesale diversion.

All that Labour did was finalise the deal which the tories had been negotiating over for 2 years previously. Why don't you have a moan about them, Jaberwok?

That doesn't surprise me. I'm amazed he's had time to even look at a house what with being in America and on GB news.

Has anyone in Clacton seen him or talked to him at a surgery? It would be interesting to know.

I live on the Thames Estuary and for the first time we have a labour MP. I wrote to him about the amount of pollution being discharged into the sea and received a full reply within a few weeks

He hasn't had any. Local newspaper on 9th Nov reports he still says its too dangerous.

Ha! That's what he's promoting. So, has anyone spoken to him via the phone or email; because he says he's done a lot!

He has always had the option of organising a Zoom link with his local constituency reform group to hold surgeries, but he hasn't.

Mind you, read this - he has been active locally -

If the people of Clacton felt they should get rid of Farage, and it really is up to them, how do they go about it? There must be a process.

Yes you're quite right MaizieD, but that's what you'd expect from wicked Tories! But a Labour government with its commitment to championing the downtrodden, and it's virtuous attitude to the subjugated people of the world, how could they agree this appalling outcome for these poor people?

Sorry LizzieDrip, I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I wonder if Farage's plan for the NHS actually happened, how much it would cost for say, a family, to bear the ongoing cost of someone with cancer. Hard enough to deal with the anguish of watching a loved one suffer, without the dread of going bankrupt. Hope it never happens here.

Jaberwok, what you are trying to share with us is important, but I think it would be better to start a new thread.

Maybe Farage wasn't intetionally lying about where he bought the house. Maybe he just doesn't know enough about the area to know what is where, and doesn't care enough to find out?

Agreed Maremia. And, of course, many private health insurance providers won’t touch anyone with pre-existing health conditions, particularly anything long term and / or serious.

They’re just like any insurer - they want to take your money but don’t want to have to pay out.

We need to thank our lucky stars every day for our NHS.

You are joking of course, I hope?

As people like facts this is Nigel Farage’s constituency boundary, as you can see Frinton is definitely within it.

After with you ronib

Agree ronib

I think there's a clue in the names. FRINton, CLACton.

Separate towns.... 😆

He has bought a house in Frinton, however Frinton and Clacton are in the same constituency

Yep it is

I know perfectly well that Frinton is within the Clacton constituency. I also know the area pretty well as I was brought up in that part of Essex. . Frinton just isn't Clacton. There is even open countryside between the two...

Frinton is lovely, sadly it is in the same constituency as Clacton and Jaywick!
