Folkestone

Seaside town on the south east coast of England. Population around 50,000. Features of note: Debenhams (geriatrics' department store), two branches of Sainsbury's (a British supermarket), The Leas Cliff Hall (entertainment venue for once great acts before they finally fold or retire), for some reason a couple of very good grammar schools (The Folkestone School for Girls, The Harvey Grammar School), The Channel Tunnel and also 304 funeral directors.

Minor features: A pleasant fishing harbour, a soft drinks factory (Silver Spring Mineral Water Co Ltd), some chalk hills and a town centre infested with Chavs. Focal point of life for under eighteens is probably McDonald’s or KFC. For the over 65’s then it’s one of the 285 General Practitioners the town boasts – or the Cardiac Unit at the William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, prior to the services of the above mentioned army of undertakers.

Folkestone is not a young person's town, though does seem to be a minor magnet for asylum seekers. You can often see the police picking them up on the motorway where they’ve just popped out of the back of some unsuspecting lorry that’s just arrived on the Eurotunnel or on a ferry in Dover.
Yes, I've been to Folkestone. Biggest departure lounge in Britain - thousands of old codgers shuffling around waiting for the Grim Reaper or a Blue-Cross Saver Day at Debenhams. The air was full of vultures waiting for an easy meal.

folksiness 

What hideous under-qualification, gracelessness, and a stupefying lack of knowledge is played off as in modern politics. Conservatives are particularly guilty of this tactic, fond of using it to reel in working and middle class voters alienated by elitist, out of touch liberals who want to force affordable healthcare, safe working conditions, sane tax policy, and social protections on them and their families.

May also result in lucrative speaking engagements and an army of sign-toting morons falling all over themselves to sing the praises of a "hockey mom" making 2500% of their yearly salary.
"What, Bush just mangled the English language again? He's not dumb, that' just his folksiness-he's just a down home, unsophisticated good ol' boy Yale graduate from Connecticut"

"I can sit down and have a beer with cousin Delbert too, but I don't want him anywhere near the Nuclear Football"
