Just had a look at the Mail's coverage.

The first line of the article
Nigel Farage today won the Clacton by-election after being forced to defend his seat against a string of comedy candidates led by Count Binface.
This must be some new definition of forced; he only had to defend his seat because he quit.

The main article itself was TLDR but seems fairly balanced; the Mail are still Team Kemi. I'm not going near the comments.

I mean, what a tragedy.

Well, I was wrong. I anticipated yesterday that Nigel Farage would stand up at the declaration of the Clacton result and claim brazenly that his victory was a total vindication for him and proves beyond doubt that he is innocent of all breaches of parliamentary standards and any wrongdoing (c. A Mountbatten-Windsor. passim).

In the event, the frog-faced cunt skipped the count and the declaration altogether, claiming mendaciously that he had been advised by police to stay away because of some alleged unspecified security threat. Instead, he made his victory speech to a bunch of pissed-up tattooed fuckwit supporters elsewhere in Clacton, which GBeebies was the only media organisation permitted by Reform to cover.

The by-election has achieved fuck-al (other than wasting £250,000), least of all any sort of vindication of Farage, or as he put it, a two-fingered gesture to "the establishment". The parliamentary investigation into his lies and breaches of parliamentary standards has already resumed, and without wishing to pre-empt anything, is likely to find Fagash "incredibly guilty" (to quote Mel Brooks).

With regard to 30p Lee, I'll give him this - he knows how to stick to a script. He remains thicker than a Boxing Day turd, though.

Can't even pick him out of a lineup of joke candidates.

Meanwhile the MRLP have come out as the wacky funster wing of ReFuk. Twats.

What is Fox's source of income these days? Is it Uncle Elon, like his pipsqueak mate Yaxley? Whatever it is, he's an absolute bum. A deluded one at that.

I thought I'd try AI to see what all the fuss is about.

I asked 'why is Nigel Farage such a cunt?'

AI answered:

Public opinion on Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK and MP for Clacton, is deeply polarized,* making him one of the most divisive figures in modern British politics.

Why Critics Strongly Dislike Him
Those who view Farage negatively often base their intense disapproval on several key arguments:
Divisive Rhetoric: Critics argue that he uses anti-immigration rhetoric and populist dogwhistles to exploit social anxieties.
The Legacy of Brexit: As a primary architect of the campaign to leave the European Union, he is held responsible by critics for the subsequent economic and political friction in the UK.
Perceived Opportunism: Detractors frequently accuse him of being a self-serving media performer who prioritizes personal spotlight and grievance-building over constructive governance or helping his own constituents.
Financial and Political Scrutiny: His political career has faced recurrent controversies, including scrutiny over campaign funding, parliamentary expenses, and his relationships with foreign political figures.

Why Supporters Back Him
Conversely, Farage maintains a highly loyal voter base that views him in a completely different light:
Anti-Establishment Voice: Supporters see him as a rare politician willing to challenge the Westminster consensus and speak up for "ordinary people". [ha ha bollocks...]
Focus on Immigration: His voters favor his strict stance on border control and national sovereignty, believing he addresses issues mainstream parties ignore. [right...]
Charisma and Directness: He is often praised by his base for his authentic, plain-speaking communication style compared to conventional, scripted politicians. [dissimulation fart puffer]

So this man, also, is shown, objectively, to be a cunt.


*not my choice of spelling.

Still Jeremy Hosking, I think.

Farage got a decent amount of votes. He’s still a danger. And he might have reasoned that this by-election would make it harder to collect signatures for another one post investigation. He may be right.

Looza's acting work has dried up.

Sorry, Fox claims to have stepped away from acting to focus on politics. Presumably in the same way that I have stepped away from playing centre forward for Arsenal.

His last role was playing Hunter Biden in My Son Hunter (2022). This film was entirely crowd funded, so yet more wingnut welfare.

Well, maybe. But I think there are still 10% of Clacton voters that voted for other parties or none who could be persuaded to put their names to a recall petition for a by-election in the cooler climes of September or October.
I suppose Brenda from Bristol might have moved to Clacton, though.

Someone posted on Reddit that Farage *is* Binface.

Therefore you’ll never see them on the stage at the same time for results.

Made I larf anyway!

The Count pointed out he only received 95 votes in the Makerfield by-election. So standing against Farage instead of Burnham made him a thousand times more popular.

Whining about being the victim of establishment smears and treated like criminals (panto booing and hissing from the audience). Just because you take a cool five mill on the quiet and your right hand man is a convicted money launderer and fraudster people think you're dodgy. Poor Nigel.
