I thought we might have a little balance in the headlines for once.

There’s already a thread on this up and running.The voters of Clacton weren’t fooled btw as they knew they wanted NF back when they voted.

Just because people didn't vote the way you agree with doesn't make them fools.

Come on there wasn’t a great selection to choose from was there?! Count Binface was fun but was he really a serious contender.

I know. I explained why I started a second one.

No, it doesn't. Allowing themselves to be fooled twice does however.

Disparaging people due to where they put their X in the ballot box is not a good look, nor is it clever.

How many threads about this do we need? I think this is the third one now.

Oh get a grip. Not everyone who voted for the man are fools. That is an unwarranted thing to say . You never know, he might turn out to be reasonably good ( not sure there but Andy Burnham is being given a chance and no one knows how he will turn out,either) I think they hate him because he threatens the two main parties, they don’t like change. Not many do.

Spot on. It’s patronising and condescending to tell people they are fools because they didn’t vote the way some posters hoped.
