Hey, I completely forgot that Clacton is now the centre of Faragedom on Earth. If I knew that I would have probably still visited but it did send a shiver down my spine to think that that racist, smug crocodile is the kleptocratic MP for this town.
It wasn’t an overtly a racist or hateful place, it seemed perfectly pleasant and everyone seemed to get along just fine. Maybe that was due to the great weather; cold and rain may have released underlying animosity.
Trivialising aside, clearly people here feel they have genuine grievances. Compared to people from Bradford or Bolton my guess is that they have it pretty good so I’m not sure why they are especially riled up by right-wing propaganda.
