So this campaign poster has been appearing at the end of my blog posts since Monday.
What is going on here?
Who is Count Binface?
Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior, leader of the Recyclons from the planet Sigma IX.
Count Binface is the hope and salvation of Clacton On Sea.
Okay, I'll bite: What the hell is a "Clacton On Sea"?
Clacton-on-Sea (or just Clacton) is a coastal town in Essex, England on the Tendring Peninsula. It has a population of about 53,000 people.
Clacton has been thrust into the international spotlight because their MP (Member of Parliament) is a self serving prick named Nigel Farage.
Fuck! More questions?!?
Who the fuck is Nigel Farage?
He's this guy.
Farage is a conservative opportunist like we have in America. Think JD Vance but with remarkably even less charisma. He uses conservative causes to advance his own naked grabs for power and influence.
Farage was a gladfly in British politics using all sorts of racist propoganda to push the country towards Brexit and to promote himself as some kind of political leader, with eyes on 10 Downing Street and one day becoming Prime Minister.
That being said, it was not until July 2024 that Farage actually won an election, as an MP for Clacton.
He appears to have used that time in office to enrich himself and came under investigation for receiving large questionable payments, what you and I might call "bribes".
Pleading weaponization of the government against him, Farage resigned as MP from Clacton which triggered a by-election to fill his empty seat in Parliament.
Farage declared himself a candidate for the seat he just resigned from. He wants to make the votes of the people a referendum on his culpability for charges of corruption. Let the people decide, not some deep state entity out to get him.
So far the only candidate running against Farage in this by-election is Count Binface.
This guy!
Count Binface has been a presence in British elections for several years now, running as an official candidate on various ballots.
Including this by-election for MP of Clacton On Sea.
What exactly is his political agenda?
- He is NOT Nigel Farage.
- Address the nation's housing crisis by building ONE affordable house.
- Cut YOUR taxes, raise everybody else's
- Ban the use of the speakerphone function on mobile phones, with offenders forced to watch the 2019 film Cats every day for a year
- Rename London Bridge to "Phoebe Waller-Bridge"
- Make the minimum voting age 16 and a maximum voting age of 80.
- Move the hand dryer in the men's toilet at the Crown and Treaty pub in Uxbridge to a more sensible position.
I've seen photos from the men's room at the Crown and Treaty pub and Count Binface is NOT wrong. Who thought putting the hand dryer in a corner between the urinals and the sinks was a good idea?
Unlike previous elections where Count Binface was clearly the joke candidate, in this election, it is Nigel Farage who many consider to be the joke.
Could Count Binface win this thing?
Look at these two men.
One of them is a joke, an embarrassment.
The other is Count Binface.
Here is some recent polling data.
*Even if that overlord is just 46 year old British writer Jonathan David Harvey.
?????????????????????????????
The politics of absurdity remains strong here in the United States. Donald Trump is going to make an address to the nation this evening.
The topic is expected to be:
- His war with Iran? Nope!
- How much shit costs in the United States? Nope!
- The explosive diarrhea outbreak ravaging the nation? Nope!
A rambling rant about how he really won the 2020 election? Yeah, that's the one.
Where is Count Binface when you need him?
