An easy mistake

 

Seen one seaside town, seen them all. OK, Barry might be a little smaller than Blackpool, but for a rare visitor to either, it might be easy to confuse them. Just like confusing Miami with Clacton would be for anyone who is a rare visitor to either. And one grumpy old man is much the same as another grumpy old man, so it’s understandable that someone might have difficulty distinguishing between a grumpy old American billionaire convict and a grumpy old English pensioner. Nigel Farage getting confused as to whether his job in parliament is to represent a billionaire American convict living in Miami or a few poverty-stricken pensioners living in Clacton is therefore perhaps explicable; it’s an easy enough mistake to make. Isn’t it?
