Clacton has a rate of 138 crimes per 1,000 people, way above the national average.

Clacton has the worst record for antisocial behaviour of UK seaside towns.

It’s the second most deprived seaside town in the UK.

Here's that bit in "Love Actually" where the plucky British PM stands up to the bullying POTUS.

Can we please clone a few Hugh Grants and install them as the Leaders of Australia, the UK and Canada.

This would be most helpful. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. #FuckTheUSA

Oh dear
‼️ Andrew James Kilburn was Reform UK candidate for Benfieldside, County Durham. He won.

It appears he was added to the Durham Council website as a councillor (his entry is still cached by Google).

However his page has now been deleted.

Another Reform UK councillor gone.
