Well, you’ve got to hand it to Farage. Battered by accusations that he doesn’t give a toss about Clacton, and that his constituents can’t get a surgery meeting with their MP, he’s announced he can’t hold surgeries because he’s afraid people will turn up with knives, intending him no good.

“We’re not in a fit state to do the old-style surgeries, but do you know what, if you’ve got something to say to me as a Clacton resident, Zoom is not the end of the world.”

Well, next Friday his consituents probably won’t even have Zoom as an option, because their MP will not only not be holding a surgery, he will actually be at ’the end of the world’.

He’ll be speaking at a ‘Nomad Capitalism’ conference in Kuala Lumpur, in 5-star, air-conditioned luxury discussing, with other ‘global citizens’, tax avoidance, crypto-currency, multiple nationalities and such like subjects which are the daily concern of his Clacton voters.

It bills itself as “…four glamorous days learning the most up-to-date strategies to reduce your taxes, build a global Plan B, and diversify and protect your wealth around the world”.

So, good luck managing to get some online face time with a man who will be in the GMT+8 time zone and busy hobnobbing with billionaires.
