Clacton has never been an important place in history. For the most part, Clacton was an irrelevant back corner that nobody cared about.
The people of Clacton have been giften an unique opportunity to change that forever. If Clacton votes for the intergalactic space lord Count Binface, the name Clacton-on-Sea will never be forgotten.
Clacton would also be the first place ruled by an intergalactic bin. A small step for bins. A tremendous leap for binkind
At least there's one candidate who isn't pretending it's not a clown show.
do they think that Nigel’s running a cunning stunt
This is deliberate, isn't it? He wants people to think "Nigel’s a stunning cunt"? Good one
The one flaw in that plan: people end up seeing that face and realize he really isn't that stunning at all.
Yeah, just a cunt
It should say "B I N S"
People of Clacton, do the funny thing please!
It's Boaty McBoatface time! 😁
Boaty McBoatface was a lame attempt. Google Boaty Mcboatface Blas de Lezo, which was actually the winner.
Which is the right thing too.
Love it when that happens.
The title should have been: Farage, left, fighting a trash can.
I think they could do some great campaigning with a little bit of real effort:
have people walking around campaigning for him dressed as binmen and cleaning up trash
some art work of binface overhead throwing farage into a bin, "clean up Clacton, bin Farage. Vote Binface"
Binface has 4-1 odds to win, so there seems to be a very real chance he wins this election.
Which would be absolutely hilarious.
Binface has
How dare you disrecpect the Count by omitting his title! Learn manners peasant!
It's Count Binface. For now. I don't think that a peer can serve in the House of Commons, so I think that he might just have to give up his title and serve as Binface if elected.
"Count" is not a valid title in the British peerage. The equivalent rank in the UK is "earl". Though if he wins, I think it'd be a moment of immense cultural significance so he should immediately be elevated to the Lords as a life peer, just to make the title official. He can be Britain's only living count.
“Count” is not a valid title in the British peerage.
But "viscount" is? What the hell kind of scam are they running over there?
Lot of cunts, only one count?
“Count” is not a valid title in the British peerage.
But it's absolutely one on Sigma IX!

Hmm. Apparently in said system, the wife of an earl is a countess.

Ah.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl
The Norman-derived equivalent count (from Latin comes) was not introduced following the Norman Conquest of England though countess was and is used for the female title. Geoffrey Hughes writes, "It is a likely speculation that the Norman French title 'Count' was abandoned in England in favour of the Germanic 'Earl' [...] precisely because of the uncomfortable phonetic proximity to cunt".[7]
I imagine that Count Binface simply doesn't fear such proximity.
To think we were this close to having Count Grey tea...
(nothing funny about it, just fun to imagine an alternative timeline)
That's Count Binface!
he will lose to heads of cabbages like most current PM of uk.
He would if they make him pm, but that's not what this is about lucky for him
If Count Binface wins, he'll never be able to show his face in public again.
He'll shirk back into his hole for two years and then pop back out as the leader of the new right-wing insurgent political party "Rejuvenate Britain" or something.
"Compost Britain"

Lord Buckethead (briefly) went on Last Week Tonight.

I feel like Count Binface should stop trying to dodge the international press and do so himself.
Lord Buckethead and Count Binface are one and the same person, the actor had to stop using "Lord Buckethead" for IP reasons.
Prog metal guitarist, for anyone wondering.
In an interview, Harvey said it was Buckethead in SpaceBalls, the film, that was the issue
Uh, it's a bin, CNN
