Another desperate Faragism demonstrates how weak he has been feeling when exposed to the glare of our accusing fingers...

He actually admitted that leaving his echo chamber would lead to humiliation! Presumably because then he would actually be exposed to scrutiny from the press.

Calling it a resounding win is a bit like a professional athlete entering a fun run, and boasting that he defeated thirty novices in fancy dress.

Clactonites or Clactonians are really not a realistic gauge of politics in the UK, they would as likely vote in a monkey as mayor, as vote for anyone to the left of Attila the Hun.

If a candidate refuses to attend the count they should be deemed illegitimate and not allowed to take their seat in Parliament. If you want to engage with the democratic process that means all of it not just the bits of it you fancy. It seems that the only time this has happened before was Bobby Sands who won his seat for Sinn Feín and he was incarcerated at the time.

Not that I'd ever endorse the actions of the IRA or their enablers, at least Bobby Sands stood and won on a genuine point of principle. Farage has no principles whatsoever.

Exactly at least he had integrity

Yet again, a FASCIST, elected on the votes of just 47% o the electorate in his constitutency claims a a mandate that clears him of any wrongdoing ! I don't know what that FASCIST idiot has been smoking but he is in deep s**t again over the five million quid bung he failed to declare. At least Count Binface can depart with his dignity intact. The people I feel sorry for are the 53% of the voters who did NOT get the MP that they wanted.

Temu Trump. He thinks that just coz Trump got elected POTUS twice and so avoided jail that he could do the same by getting elected MP for Clacton twice. Unfortunately, being MP for Clacton doesn’t bring even a national mandate much less any immunity. Twat
