The local threat from Trump UK
Leafleting in Seaton for Paul Arnott, a man makes a point of coming out of his house and handing the leaflet back to me. “We don’t want this rubbish’, he says. It’s happened a couple of times before – always a man, always on the wrong side of 50. These angry older men don’t care about local issues, only immigration, and the signs are they’re voting for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
Reform claims that ‘Britain is broken’, forgetting to mention that – in so far as this is true – it was Brexit, Farage‘s big project, that broke it. ‘Reform will fix it’, they say, while praising Donald Trump who is busy wrecking world trade. If Brexit and Trump are anything to go by, ‘Reform will f–k it up’, would be more accurate.
Next Thursday, make sure that the angry old men don’t get their way in Seaton & Colyton. Remember that in 2013, Farage’s first party, UKIP, came second here with over 1,300 votes.
We need to rally round Paul (right), a genuine local candidate with a strong track record. Don’t waste your vote on Labour, who like Reform and the Tories haven’t even got a local candidate. And don’t vote for John Heath, who although a good local councillor in Beer & Branscombe, can only take enough votes across the area to let Reform or the Tories sneak in.
