Election Year or Fear!

[SithHappens]

I know my anecdotes ‘trigger’ some on here, but (until earlier in the month when I closed the business) I had a fairly substantial customer base in Es*** generally and Clacton well represented amongst those. Every single one that has expressed a view is an NF fan and of those, any who’ve discussed his whereabouts couldn’t care less about lack of attendance. They just love the TV coverage he gets! I’m not suggesting my sample is any more representative than yours but is ‘direct’ ie not filtered through a media bias

is your business the Reform fan club of Es***?:🤪

No, in broad terms it was 'entertainment'. Lots of down time and occasionally lots of booze (by others) over the 16 years it existed brought out lots of opinions, not just from Es*** Man, its been a UK-wide thing. Unlike here, I don't share my political/worldview opinions or observations, just listen, and its been an interesting ride soaking up the deeply held views of people who are/were 'not like me' but have as much right to an opinion (and vote) as any. I closed the enterprise because I valued the time released by doing it more than the income it generated, not sure if I'll miss the folk I met along the way, in most cases probably not!
