Why is it whenever I see or hear videos of people winging about immigrants like 70% of them are from Essex?

Essex just seems like a void of intelligence in virtually every aspect. I've never been there nor do I ever plan on going there. I feel like I'd lose braincells simply passing through. Fuck all there anyway.

I’m from Essex and honestly I agree with a lot of what you’ve said. It’s depressing being surrounded by people who swallow that narrative, and I often feel like a minority for questioning it. Critical thinking just doesn’t seem to click with most people I come across here.

That said, there are some genuinely nice parts of Essex worth visiting, and the history is actually quite interesting. I suppose I’m only saying that to keep things balanced, but it’s not all bad – just a shame the loudest voices give the place such a reputation.

Essex has an IQ deficit. The Alabama of England.

Essex is the Reform heartland. I don’t know what’s wrong with those people.

Don't forget Kent.

Absolutely. I have the exact same feelings towards Kent, but I tend to hear about Kent a lot less than I do Essex.

There must be a direct correlation between racism and proximity to the Thames estuary.

Maybe a throwback to the noble Tilbury Docks / Windrush past ... ?
