On a Monday morning in Clacton, something unexpected happened that caught the attention of locals. The billboard on the corner of Crossfield Road was torn to shreds, leaving many puzzled about the exact timing of this incident.
The poster on the billboard, put up by Led By Donkeys, highlighting Nigel Farage’s earnings outside politics had garnered significant approval. However, it seems that a supporter of the Reform leader took offense to its presence in town.
Despite mixed emotions towards Farage in Clacton, there is still a strong positive sentiment towards him. Jenny, an elderly resident walking her dog Milo, expressed her support for Farage’s beliefs on immigration despite not fully grasping his financial details.
Sharon Gittings, a retired operations manager who recently switched her allegiance to Reform from Conservative, hopes that Farage will bring attention and benefits to Clacton. However, concerns have been raised about his accessibility and presence in the constituency.
Some constituents have struggled to reach out to Farage for local matters due to lack of response or availability for meetings. Questions also arise regarding his time spent in Clacton versus other engagements abroad.
