Reporting and opinion by Mathew Carr (vote Woke Trump CarrZee on Aug. 13)

Aug. 11-13, 2026, Clacton, Britain — When I decided to run against Nigel Farage (and 32 others as it turned out — correct) in the by-election taking place Thursday Aug. 13 in the seaside township of Clacton, I knew it would be tough.

Yet, without the mainstream political parties to contend with, I thought I might have at least an outside chance.

I was probably wrong.

What the month-long campaign so far has revealed is that this “establishment” in the UK (otherwise known as the 0.1% — and if you look globally, the most wealthy and powerful 8 million people on earth of the 8 billion humans) is now so powerful, that it doesn’t even need the main political parties to control and suppress the people, while deploying fear and terror onto them and stealing their money.

Farage pretends to be one of “the people,” yet he’s a posh boy and wealthy guy…with links to military warmongers. He is the epitome of the establishment and the name of his party — Reform UK — is fake because he does not really want to reform anything.

Here are six ways Farage’s cult takes us people down.

One–Deception. This is the big one. Farage is pretending he is for the people and against the establishment though he speaks barely anything of regulating corporations properly, nor does he want to limit takeovers to prevent giant global firms from becoming even more powerful. Tendring District Council, which is overseeing the election and is part of the 0.1%, is pretending it wants a fair election. It’s behavior says otherwise. The 0.1% (which includes the leaders of the press and media under my definition above) pretended Brexit would be good for the country. It’s been really bad — about £1 trillion cost to GDP over 10 years and £300 billion in lost govt revenue (I’m being conservative in my election material) and I cite credible research houses including Goldman Sachs. The lack of accountability for Farage on Brexit and indeed his reward for failure is partly a deliberate act by the 0.1% to psychologically damage the people of Clacton and beyond. How can we possibly fight such brazen fuckery?

Two–Financial suppression of ordinary folks. Also a very big one. Clacton folks include some of the poorest in the UK. There are mental-health issues of course and I’ve been told even more deprived folks are being pushed to Clacton as the military expands in Colchester in both its operation and capability. This has worsened the housing crisis in Clacton as the 0.1% blames migrants for the extremely bad governance on housing that is actually mainly the fault of the Tories and Labour. The 0.1% has offered the electorate Reform UK as a fake solution and put their giant propaganda machine to work. See below. The key problem is housing, not migration. Regulate real estate, companies, markets and the wealthy properly and there is plenty of resources for everyone. This would be not socialism, it would be sustainable capitalism.

Three–Violence. The 0.1% love to deploy false-flag events regularly during the past decades and centuries. The Nazis did it at the start of WW2. British Counter Terrorism Policing is actively investigating the brutal murder of former MP and Reform UK spokesperson Ann Widdecombe, focusing on potential political and terrorist motivations behind the targeted attack. She was thumped with a hammer on her head 21 times over a full two minutes. While Farage announced his resignation to trigger the Clacton by-election on July 7—one day before Widdecombe was killed—investigators have not suggested that the timing of the by-election itself was a catalyst for the crime. Yet …the 0.1% love symbols. Were the 21 blows a signal for the world to grow the fuck up? 21 is long regarded as the legal threshold of adulthood. It needs to be THOROUGHLY investigated if there is link to the Clacton vote…to deter candidates from running against Farage and to distract from the 0.1%’s ongoing theft of wealth from taxpayers and consumers, perhaps? Just asking these questions and I’m sure Widdecombe’s family want answers even more than I do. I should say … all these events below could be entirely coincidential…maybe. One person familiar with military operations I spoke to said the murder stunk of a “black op.” See notes for definition.

Four–Giant expanding global propaganda machine. Related to the first three, the 0.1% has spent three decades forming a giant propaganda machine and that’s becoming much more sinister and powerful after the 0.1% has raised $1.2 trillion for compute and AI in the past 20 months alone. The AI might become so pervasive that it will almost determine reality and market prices for 8 billion people if we don’t regulate it properly. One of my first acts as MP –should I win– will be to investigate and propose law to ensure AIs are ring fenced from each other so they can’t talk to each other in an attempt to hurt competition. I want to keep competitive tension in markets to lower prices for everyone, including the good folks of Clacton.

Five–Debt Slavery. Clacton has higher rates of cost-of-living debt to income vs the UK average. See notes….Related to number two above, why is my daughter being offered loans at interest rates above 30% per year in her university years, when she’s already going to suffer high interest rates to pay back her education costs when/if she first gets a decent job? By now, banking and insurance should be utilities with compressed profit margins and they are not the “magic” they purport to be. That’s because regulators are captured by banks and now a central banker Mark Carney has taken over a country — Canada — after damaging the UK. More reward for failure. In the U.S., the finance and insurance sector economic rents are estimated to have grown from ~$150 billion–$200 billion in 2000 to approximately ~$450 billion–$700 billion in 2024.

Six–Climate Change. To stay authentic here, I want to bring up a little of my own story. Clacton’s pretty horizon is dotted by offshore wind farms…maligned by Farage and President Donald Trump…and they are a constant reminder that I was brutally fired by Bloomberg News in 2020, after I had complained about the biased nature of the company’s climate news coverage for about a decade. I was pretty involved in that coverage between 2003 and 2020. When I was sacked, what was striking to me was that my performance had zoomed upwards by any standard, well, at least by any objective standard, between 2017 and 2019, the years before they decided to fire me. Still they claimed I needed to go because I was not good enough, and I then spent four years …fighting them in multiple courts for unfair dismissal. They deceived multiple judges, I contend, clear evidence of how the 0.1% protect each other and protect the rich against a well-meaning whistleblower — me. (Bloomberg claims it was right to fire me). What’s happened to the climate since then demonstrates I was correct to fight them for the climate, and the middle managers at Bloomberg involved in my dismissal should now resign …amid wildfires and brutal heatwaves. And proprietor Mike Bloomberg should resign from his UN climate role because his financial-information business collects well north of $1billion a year from fossil fuels. He’s also the news provider to the world’s global banks (See number 5). It’s this perspective that will make me a valuable MP for Clacton’s vulnerable folks. If only the public narrative will give me (and the other high-quality candidates) a chance. Climate change is another way the 0.1% creates fear among the people. I’m taking the warming data at face value, but I would not be surprised if clean technology is being suppressed by the 0.1% because it is obsessed with dirty fossil fuels and protecting military secrets without consulting the people, who are the ones meant to be in charge.

Notes

Gemini: Whether Clacton residents are more indebted than the rest of Britain depends on how debt is measured: total money owed versus vulnerability to debt distress.

Total Monetary Debt: Lower than the National Average

In terms of overall financial and property debt (such as large mortgages and high-value credit), residents in Clacton generally hold less total debt than national or regional averages:

• Property Values & Mortgages: Because housing prices in Clacton and the wider Tendring district are lower than the East of England and UK averages, property-backed borrowing is lower.
• Demographics: Clacton has a significantly higher proportion of retirees and older residents compared to national figures. Older demographics are more likely to own homes outright or carry smaller remaining mortgage balances.

Debt Distress & Insolvencies: Higher than the National Average

When looking at problem debt, arrears, and individual insolvencies, Clacton ranks above the national average:

• Individual Insolvencies: Historical statistics from the Insolvency Service show that coastal constituencies, including Clacton, routinely record higher rates of individual insolvencies—specifically Debt Relief Orders (DROs) and Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs)—per 10,000 adults than urban centres or the Home Counties.
• Income & Economic Inactivity: Clacton has higher-than-average rates of economic inactivity and lower median disposable incomes. Lower incomes mean residents have smaller financial buffers to absorb unexpected living costs or utility increases.
• Unsecured & Arrears Debt: Local support services (such as Citizens Advice Tendring and housing providers) see high demand for help with priority debt like council tax arrears, energy bills, and rent, rather than speculative or high-value investment borrowing.

Metric	Clacton Position vs. UK Average
Mortgage / Total £ Debt	Lower
Outright Homeownership	Higher
Insolvency / DRO Rate	Higher
Vulnerability to Cost-of-Living Debt	Higher

A black operation (or black op) is a covert or clandestine mission conducted by a government, military unit, intelligence agency, or paramilitary group. The defining characteristic of a black op is that it is engineered to leave no official trail or link back to the government or organization that authorized it.

Key Characteristics

• Plausible Deniability: The central rule of a black op. If the operation is exposed, compromised, or fails, the sponsoring authority can credibly deny any involvement or knowledge.
• Classified Funding (“Black Budgets”): Black ops are financed through unacknowledged, secret government funds that bypass standard public accounting, legislative oversight, and budget disclosures.
• Extralegal Execution: These missions frequently operate outside conventional military chain-of-command, international law, or standard diplomatic channels, often taking place in non-combat zones or neutral territory.

Covert vs. Clandestine

While often used interchangeably, intelligence agencies make a clear distinction between these two terms:

Term	Meaning	Primary Goal
Clandestine	The action itself is hidden.	Keep the operation entirely undetected (e.g., planting a wiretap, stealth surveillance).
Covert	The sponsor’s identity is hidden.	The event is visible, but the perpetrator is disguised (e.g., supplying unmarked weapons to foreign rebels).

Many black ops combine both: the mission is executed in secret, but if discovered, the identity of the nation or agency behind it remains obscured.

Historical Examples

• Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961): A CIA-led covert operation that trained and funded Cuban exiles to invade Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro, allowing the U.S. government to claim non-involvement when the operation launched.
• Operation Wrath of God (1970s): A covert campaign authorized by Israel and executed by Mossad to target and assassinate individuals linked to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre across multiple foreign countries.
• Project Azorian (1974): A massive clandestine CIA project that built a specialized deep-sea salvage vessel (the Hughes Glomar Explorer) under the cover story of commercial manganese mining to covertly raise a sunken Soviet submarine from the Pacific Ocean floor.
