One social media user wrote: “What the fuck are you doing trying to enter the Chagos Islands? You're the MP for fucking Clacton!”

Another added: “You need to get a permit to travel to the Chagos Islands before you go. Nigel didn't get one. This is attention seeking pure and simple.”

One joked: “No one’s denied you entry to Clacton, but you never fucking go there.”
