Bin face's manifesto.

Yes, this is all on Farage.

Just because Farage is a dick doesn’t mean another dick should also stand.

I think you have just got a hole in one

Just because Farage is a dick doesn’t mean another dick should also stand.

Count Binface has been standing in parliamentary elections for years, (previously as Lord Buckethead until someone claimed copyright of the name). Joke candidates are something of a British institution. There are plenty more among the 34 election candidates for this by election. Binface has just captured people's imaginations.

As others have said, it's Farage who is making a fool of himself and cynically using the good people of Clacton. I very much hope he loses, though I doubt if he will.

Whatever you think of his methodology, Binface is not a dick. He has amply succeeded in his long term aim of pointing out some of the political failings in this country, the hypocrisy of Farage - and at the end of it all, he will have made a successful long term career as a political satirist. He has not maligned the people of Clacton either, they are going along with him because they think he has a point.

If I lived in Clayton, I’d vote Bin Face
In Britain, we have a long tradition of irony and of bringing pompous individuals down from their high horse

I would vote for Binface. He would be a much better MP for Clacton than Farage who has no interest in the people there at all.

You dont care about manifestos at all?

I agree with AGAA4- Count Binface would be a much better MP for Clacton than Farage.

What was Farage's manifesto in 2024for Clacton when he stood as a prospective MP- is it available on line to read? Was Farage honest and openly informed his prospective electorate he would not be holding constituency surgeries for his Clacton constituents? I suspect not.

Has Farage actually delivered in line with his Clacton MP 2024 manifesto- I suspect not.

What is Farage's manifesto for this 2026 by-election- any one know?

At least Count Binface has one 👏

Absolutely agree Casdon. Projecting responsibility for Farage's ridiculous behaviour on Binface unfairly lets Farage off the hook. Rice should be directed to Farage alone for calling this ridiculous by election in Clacton where he was already the sitting MP.

Count Binface has indeed captured the public's imagination, both in the UK and around the world highlighting Farage's ridiculous stunt. Whatever the results are on polling day that's a win for democracy and a win for Count Binface who has legitimately punctured Farage's ego and standing.

What manifesto? The 2024 Reform manifesto, which they loftily called a contract i.e. a legal agreement with the people because Farage claimed manifestos were full of lies, was withdrawn just weeks after the election as unworkable because according to Yusuf, "the sums didn't add up".

There is no local manifesto for Clacton. The people have been sent a "dear neighbour" letter, a tactic which Reform has used in other by-elections, where Farage claims that he is a victim of the establishment.

Postal voting forms have dropped today with constituents knowing little or nothing about the 34 candidates.

From everything I have read the man behind Binface is a serious,intelligent and thoughtful man and will probably make an excellent constituency MP, as, no doubt will a number of the odd ball candidates.. Certainly better than the MP who has resigned.

It is worth remembering that Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was a comedian before he became the surprised winner of a Ukrainian election. It is interesting to read his biography on Wikpedia wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelenskyy before dismissing him as a joke candidate.

Nope, Binface is not a dick.
Perhaps you mean Laurence Fox?

Agreed👏👏👏

Count Binface is definitely not a dick!

Just looked up definition of a person described as a 'dick':

A vulgar slang phrase meaning someone is rude, mean, arrogant or unpleasant- an individual who puts their own needs above others and treats people badly.

I'm aware of some of the evidence relation to Farage so can understand why someone might call him by that term- and even Laurence Fox by some of those that have successfully sued him in court etc. But there's absolutely no evidence that Count Binface is any of these things.

Thanks for that MissAdventure. I needed a good laugh.........

I voted for some sort of dustbin for the last London mayoral election, because Khan is such a useless pillock , but the bin sadly lost., 🤷‍♀️🙄

That's an old one. When he was interviewed for Sky after the Makerfield by-election result was announced, the rather flustered reporter had to warn him in case he swore on live TV.

Brilliant! I 🙏 people of Clacton will see sense and vote for him! Please please don’t vote Farage ! What has he ever done for Clacton?

Reminds me of the ‘Boaty McBoatface’ farago. Fun but puff and nonsense really. A distraction. Summer madness.

It's brilliant. I wish I could vote for him.

It’s not summer madness, it’s serious political point making. Binface will get a significant proportion of the vote. Farage will never shake off the mickey taking, which is just, given this election is of his own making. It’s very likely there will be another election in Clacton in the autumn anyway, so Farage has been hoist by his own petard.

What good will it do for the residents of Clacton, though?

Obviously, none of us can be sure, but although i have never been a betting person, I would be prepared to bet that if he were elected, Binface would actually do far more for the people of Clacton than Farage has. Not that bar could be much lower than it is now!

Magenta8

I hope he wins. Don't trash him. I would not like him to turn out to be a has bin, even if some of his manifesto is rubbish.

😂😂😂

Not much but I think it was important that the other parties didn’t pander to Farage’s ego.

The people of Clacton will be no worse off if Binface wins. They haven’t had anyone representing them for two years in any real sense. What’s another few months?

Binface wouldn’t be able to enter Parliament because he isn’t standing under his real name and because of the dress code.

There will have to be another by-election, which there will be anyway if Farage wins and is then suspended as a result of the Standards investigation.

Thinking back to the assassination attempt on Trump when Farage rushed to the US. He declared in the MPs’ Register of Interests that he was there “To support a friend who was almost killed and to represent Clacton on the world stage.” All paid for by Harborne.

This stunt has done far more to put Clacton on the world stage … by making Farage a laughing stock. It's probably good for tourism.

I don’t think he will win, but I think it will stop people being disparaging of the local people, because they will have demonstrated they are not the sheep many have been so rude about. It will also have made many of them think hard about who to vote for in the autumn if there is another by election, so they are more likely to get a candidate who cares about the locals.
