Thought it’d be perfect for them even if they lose but take a chunk out of his majority Restore know it would be better to just sit back and watch the clown flounder. Their leader despises Farage. If everyone not planning to vote for Farage strategically votes for Count Binface this could get fucking hilarious. I seriously doubt he wins but it will be a laugh watching Reform struggle with a man with a bin on his head. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 7 Paid Members Posted July 7 Jonathan Harvey, the guy who plays Binface has written a Binface book as well. It's only £3 on Kindle. He's worked alongside quite the who's who of contemporary satirists on stuff like The Thick Of It, and contributes to Private Eye, which you can judge however you see fit. Quote

Cousin Jim Bob Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Quote Asked what his appeal will be to the people of Clacton, he told the Today programme: "Well, I'm not Nigel Farage." 😅 Quote

westlondonmist Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Binface on BBC pointing out that a second by election can only happen if Farage wins, each by election costs £380,000, so if he gets elected he saves the country 380k by doing nothing. Quote

Paid Members Scratch Posted July 8 Paid Members Posted July 8 When Farage was elected, he got 46% of the vote. So if he doesn’t increase his share, and he only has one opponent who’s not standing for any of the other major parties, he could lose this in what would be the most hilarious thing ever. It’s 2026, I’m 46-years old, and I’m about to vote for a fucking bin 🤷♂️ Quote
The King Of Swing Posted July 8 Posted July 8 If Fox runs, couldn't he also eat into the Farage vote? A combination of that, possible low turn out/complacency and a cordinated anti Farage, tactical campaign, could in theory swing the result. Quote
