Well said Dickens 20.08.
What issues has he raised for the people of Clacton, how has he championed their lot in life??
This ‘People versus the establishment’ fight is a total joke and is the self same platform Trump used. Meanwhile Trump and his family are benefitting financially from the war in Iran and Farage has millions donated to his own self by dubious donors.
Yeah some Robin Hood!

It’s utterly sickening (imo!)

fancythat, Mr Farage has not offered his constituents the opportunity to engage with him online, either .
I fail to see how meetings in zoom pose a potential security risk to Mr Farage.

And serious discussions heard on R4 today about actually dealing with what Farage makes most fuss about - irregular migration, and he tries to throw spanners in the works.

*How exactly do his actions benefit the people of Clacton*

Farage is first and foremost, a free-market libertarian.

The economically disadvantaged 'have nots' in his deprived constituency should dwell on that before they vote him back again. Maybe look at the 'brutal' American model of Capitalism, of which he's a proponent, before casting their vote for this 'man-of-the-people'.

If they believe that stopping-the-boats will result in a redistribution of finances to the public services and benefits that maybe quite a few rely on, they are going to be disappointed.

Vote Binface!

Indeed! I hope voters come out in force for Binface. Hilarious if Farage lost his seat. Serves him right.

I joined this forum only recently. I was delighted to find it and thought it would be nice to read items from other grannies. Instead, I wonder whether most of you are aware that you come over as a load of bigoted, woke, lefties? Maybe you’re not all like that but it is disappointing that the forum is being used like this.

Strum a cheery tune.

I'd definitely vote for Binface. I wish the other candidates would stand down so there might be a chance of defeating NF.

So glad they all have time to mess about - anyone would the think that the country was fine. We need proper politicians with integrity.

Ukelady1 Sat 11-Jul-26 14:05:02

Yes, I think that’s the only answer. I’ll strum - you sing. Land of Hope and Glory?

Allgone21 Sat 11-Jul-26 14:05:21

State of the country you already have one.

Best post I've seen is

Fartrage is a has Bin!

Thought it most appropriate BinFace for the win!

Welcome newcomers,

but to be fair, you would need to read back over a number of threads through time to realise that there are a whole variety of pretty sophisticated views and debate from many parts of the political spectrum including well for example at the time of the election really strong representations from all sides.

And you'd have to read the many threads that jumped onto Starmer in the early days to realise your critique is very one sided and to be frank, using an old and such a well worn label ("woke") it isn't now being used a lot, its over use has negated its original punch.

To realise that this thread is a bit of a summer holiday thread at something clearly so ludicrous that it is risible and is being enjoyed as such.

Is anyone aware, of just how left wing this comedian is.

sunglow12 Sat 11-Jul-26 15:30:25

I’m planning to go to Clacton and see him in action as not so far from where I live . Hope he wins!

cc Sat 11-Jul-26 15:30:59

Yes, I heard Count Binface being interviewed recently and he's no slouch.
It's a shame that the two other candidates are splitting the vote, it would be great if Farage bit the dust.

Babamaman Sat 11-Jul-26 15:44:15

So would I - it would shut the arrogant, narcissistic lot up! Please please Clacton vote for binface - pleeeeeeaaasssee

WithNobsOnIt Sat 11-Jul-26 15:46:04

Just read up on this so called Count Binface character aka Jonathan Harvey.

Supposed to be a scriptwriter by trade. Must know people in the media then. And is probably being paid to do this naff act.

I think Binface sounds like a posh silly, Public School Six Former. A sort of Monty Python Dalek crossed with the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.

Not funny. Comes across as a complete knob.

Maybe Binface could do us all a favour. And bin himself at the nearest recycling.centre.

Babamaman Sat 11-Jul-26 15:47:52

Farage doesn’t need a job with the £5million gift, the £250,000 top up and all his crypto shannanigans!!
The only job he’s good at is cheating people!
Naaah I’d much rather binface win? Maybe he should take on Burnham as well😳🤪🤣👍🙏🤞

Cambia Sat 11-Jul-26 15:51:39

If it’s a choice between binface and garage, I would choose binface!!

Iam64 Sat 11-Jul-26 16:19:48

Binface every time.
Zelensky used to be a tv personality and comedian. Maybe Binface could do a better job than Farage

Ukelady1 - good to hear your views on gransnet 😇

Here you go, MT62

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Binface

It's actually really worth a read. He's a very bright man indeed and its sort of political satire in action.

Thanks will take a look

Vote Binface, to take out the trash.
