Count Binface has a genuine chance against Nigel Farage!

Sounds crazy but…

None of the major parties are competing…

Farage won Clacton with 46% of the vote…

If the 54% united together to vote for Binface, we could have the most preposterous election outcome of all time!

I reckon this could get some genuine momentum… all the other parties would LOVE this result, and even if they didn’t actively campaign for it, would surely quietly be gunning for Binface to win.

I don’t care if what you say about yourself is true or not. It makes no difference to the overwhelming truth of my point.

Anyway I’ve committed to returning to the subject of Farage and Binface.

There's no overwhelming truth. There's a strongly held opinion. That is all it is. And that's fine.

There is indeed an accepted definition of fascism. The first defining characteristic bring 'far right'. You cant just reinvent language to suit yourself.
The terms for the extreme end of the left continuum are Communist or Anarchist.
(Side note, no one calls us lefties Commies anymore I've noticed. I quite miss that.)

The extreme ends of both far right and far left meet in the middle

No, it’s a fact that the left demonises Israel. You can work from there to conclusions about motive without opinion.

It is not a fact, it is your opinion.

Seriously, you think that the left’s fixation on and demonisation of Israel isn’t factually true?

Oh dear... can we get back to bin jokes?

From The Independent

One of Labour’s most generous donors has offered to fund Count Binface’s bid in the Clacton by-election, where he stands as one of Nigel Farage’s few opponent.
Dale Vince, a green energy industrialist, is able to donate up to £180,050 to Count Binface to spend on campaigning materials.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Vince said: “I want Binface to win, and I am prepared to support him – morally, verbally and financially if that works for him.”

Are you referring to the Israeli government's actions in Gaza and Lebanon or Israel as a nation?

Because I demonise the government for that but not the people of Israel.

I also don't think it is only people on the left who think that.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Led by Donkeys produce some blinding campaign material for him.

Israel has a right to exist.

Israel does not have the right commit a genocide and go on an expansionist campaign in the Middle East.

Anyone saying this is antisemitism has a real issue with the truth.

HandPulledNoodles · 09/07/2026 16:22

I so hope Binface wins

Your own motives and thoughts are not relevant.

But I do agree that both the left and the right contain antisemites. That’s rather the point.

I can only say that this sort of mindless, blind-eye tripe does no-one any good

Back to the subject at hand.

I'm in the area where Led By Donkeys pulled the amazing lettuce backdrop stunt while Liz Truss was speaking. I think they and Count B could work really well together

A banner featuring a lettuce and the words "I crashed the economy".

The banner, with the words "I crashed the economy", slowly descends as she talks about Donald Trump.

So you know what's in the heads of every single left leaning individual in the world? Or are you just throwing out a stereotype?

My motives and thoughts prove that your facts are your opinions.

And we have different opinions.

But again, back to Count Binface

Or the term that accurately describes the situation.

Still waiting for that number... it's over 21,000 is that enough? Want more?

Do you use ‘genocide’ because you think it diminishes the Holocaust and therefore suits your agenda or because someone else has used it and you can’t be bothered to think about the meaning?
