Page 11 | To think Count Binface is doing a great job in the Clacton by-election?

Darker · 2026-08-10T10:43:46+00:00

Count down to Bin Day! Count Binface has been out bigging-up Clacton and drawing attention to its potential. It’s a really positive campaign. I don’t think he’ll win but I’d love it if he did. I think he’d be brilliant. And if he doesn’t, I think other candidates could learn a lot from his approach.

Being stuck in a lift with an angry, graceless man who casually dismisses people who have put a lot into an election that he invoked as 'nobodies'.

No contest

Oh ok.
What damage was caused to Mr Farage's house, what type of device was used to cause this damage, was he in residence at the time and was there a credible threat to his safety?

Show quote history

Fire damage/burns, smoke damage
An incendiary device that was burning
No.
Undetermined because the police never investigated it. (They have now decided to investigate further)

What constitutes a "somebody"? Surely this distinction runs contrary to what Mr Farage, a self-professed "man of the people" running in a by election he's explicitly stated is about the people v the establishment is, at core, all about.

I mean, either the candidates represented the establishment or they were "nobodies" - which?

I can't answer your question as I haven't seen the manifestos of all the candidates, so don't know what they stand for.
I'm not sure how Count Binface stands as he doesn't seem to have any wheels.

Watching that video of Farage Fest (upthread) makes me think that the decision not to attend the count was entirely pre-meditated.

Yes I agree.

He was scared of being pictured on the platform next to the bin.

In fact I think we could say, "the decision not to attend the Count was entirely pre-meditated".

ClarkeandNewman · 15/08/2026 09:58

MyKittyKatty · 15/08/2026 09:55

But not untrue.
All the other candidates could be classed as "nobodies" - apart from Binface maybe.

You forgot to answer my questions. Where did Mr Farage stay while his fire bombed house was rebuilt, and were any of his neighbours" houses damaged?A fire bomb would surely cause structural problems to neighbouring properties. I'm amazed this didn't receive widespread news coverage - he was clearly lucky to escape with his life.

Absolute paradigm of toxic masculinity. Scared of being laughed at.

If any other political party leader had skipped their count for some prearranged celebration of self among their 'faithful', the roars of outrage from Reform would be heard on Sigma IX.

And while referring to the other candidates as nobodies!

Candidates whom many people in Clacton honoured with their votes and preferred to Farage to represent them.

Can you even imagine the howls about failing to listen to the electorate, disrespecting the people of Clacton, sneery elite, etc?

I’d suggest that ‘fire bomb’ was something of an exaggeration. Obviously his security should and has been taken seriously in terms of protections he has been offered. Why he has refused to accept it is a mystery.

To compare the brutal murder of Anne Widdecombe to what Nigel Farage alleges was stuck through his letter box is a bit sick really.

His house wasn’t fire-bombed. Nor was there any threat to him at the result declaration. He just wanted to avoid the embarrassment of being photographed with Binface, and loves to portray himself as a victim at every opportunity, like all adherents of identity politics.

Tice fell into a hole when interviewed, saying that Farage’s security hadn’t actually shared details of the threat with the police.

It’s all a huge performance.

Watching that video of Farage Fest (upthread) makes me think that the decision not to attend the count was entirely pre-meditated.

A huge amount of money was thrown into celebrations with the campaigners, including yurts for people staying overnight. I.e. people shipped in to get the voters to the polls.

Was there anything for the actual constituents of Clacton?

Farage staying may have achieved the effect of making the campaigners feel special while citing a security threat makes it all feel a bit edgy. If free beer, ferris wheels and giant jenga can be edgy.

Are you having a larf ?
When Farage's house was fire-bombed the police really didn't take it seriously. They only stepped up enquiries after poor Ann Widdicombe was murdered.

The ‘mob’ were 15 minutes away from where the count was taking place. That’s far enough away to convince me they were not disrupting proceedings.
