Nigel Farage was in the pub at 12 pm. on Christmas day despite having loads of kids and family - posting photos of himself with a pint, which he then deleted.

What a lonely and sad man.

"Nigel Farage has made an appearance in his Clacton constituency".

Yep. That this particular MP has actually visited his constituency makes the news!

The 'message' was "Merry Christmas to Clacton and the entire country".

And then, he admits, he went off to the pub...

Nigel Farage truly is a lovely guy.
He visits a part of the country he’s never been to before and hands out love, olive oil, DNA & tufts of hair.

'His performance was a study in frustration and bravery (the stuff of everyday disabled life). Gone was the clown prince of darkness - in place of such slapstick was an intensity never seen before.'

We have our first Camelia flowers. The earliest I’ve seen them.
The bushes used to start to flower late January into April.
