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.

Yeah, and when he tries to nationalise Adele, what if Adele objects? I mean, his whole manifesto is riddled with potential problems.

I do wonder what is going on behind closed doors at Reform.

Does Jenrick really enjoy hauling himself round the studios because Farage has had a temper tantrum?

Is there a point where they think they are being made to look like fools as they schlep around Clacton to defend Farage's millions?

I think at least some of them have already realised they are, yes.

Can’t believe you’re doubling down on this bullshit and actually treating the 99p for a 99 as genuine threat to Clacton ice-cream sellers, and that all non-Reform MPs would get behind and pass into law.

I’ll spell it out for you. IT’S A JOKE!

Unless you’re trolling us, then well done! 👏

Err obviously I know it was a joke. Any discussion of Binfaces policy is a joke - that's the whole point.

The one thing that would make a seaside shithole even shitter would be a it becoming a seaside shithole where it is uneconomical to sell icecream!

BIossomtoes · 09/07/2026 21:02

Jenrick certainly does. He got attacked with both barrels by a Reform member on LBC this morning.

OMG! I never thought of that! Doesn’t be care about her human rights? I realise now his whole manifesto is shot through. I’m
out… Farage it is!

That’s true, but that’s never going to happen, Binface or no Binface, so 🤷

I heard Adele is going on the campaign trail with him, as actually “Someone like you” was written about Binface. They’ve successfully kept their affair under the radar up till now.

I wouldn't get too excited - the investigation was launched by the Met Police in February 2025. Not exactly speedy are they.

It is ongoing

And not the only Reform donation under investigation. Transparency is important.

Yes, and 'Rolling in the Deep (Shit)' is about Farage.

Twenty witness testimonies doesn't mean twenty reliable witness testimonies, especially when there is a band-wagon to jump on.

I think I could deal with around ten of the testimonies/witnesses - pointing out inconsistences, hearsay and exaggeration. Also looking at their social media posts. Several witnesses have displayed an extreme anti-Brexit/anti-Reform stance on social media - despite claiming in signed letters and interviews that they are not politically motived. I've just spotted one of the witnesses posting on a Stop Reform Facebook Group this week.

A defence team employing private investigators could do much more than me. Then you've got the five or six named witnesses who say Farage was not racist at school, one of whom is Jewish, another with Asian heritage.

One of the 'star witnesses' (an alleged victim) is Yinka Bankole. I know I have posted about him before but I have just this minute thought of something else.

Bankole claims that Farage racially abused him on several occasions when he was aged 9 or 10. Farage would have been aged 16 at the time - in contrast to Bankole's original claim that Farage was 18. Bankole only attended the school for one year, he didn't know his abuser's name at the time, described his abuser as 'very tall' and says he recognised Farage from his walk;

"I recognise his walk every time I see it on TV as that same walk that used to approach me."

However, it has just occurred to me that Farage was seriously injured in several major accidents - struck by a car when he was aged 21 and involved in a plane crash. Sure enough, I've just checked, Farage almost lost his left leg in the car accident, spent two months in hospital with his leg in traction, and almost a year with his leg in a plaster cast.

If Farage has a distinctive walk, then surely this is due to the accident/s he had - not a walk he had as a schoolboy. If I were Farage's defence lawyer, I would suggest to Mr Bankole that he has misidentified my client.

Clav, it is really strange how you go to such lengths to discredit Jewish people's descriptions of Farage's anti-semitism. You have flooded more than one thread with your efforts.

Yinka Bankole is not Jewish as far as I am aware.

If people voted for Michael Fabricant then they can vote for Count Binface. Binface will have better values and be more honourable than slimy Farage.

You are correct. Will amend to Clav, it is really strange how you go to such lengths to discredit Black and Jewish people's descriptions of Farage's racism. You have flooded more than one thread with your efforts.

So true. Or indeed better than Keith Vaz, Fiona Onasanya, Robert Kilroy-Silk and many, many others.

That’s really quite unpleasant and undeserved. Bit of a ‘shame on you’ moment.

DuncinToffee · 09/07/2026 22:45

Dismissing people's experiences of racism is indeed 'shame on you'

Respectfully, Clav has tried to discredit people that made claims of racism against Farage extensively and on more than one thread. I think that is far more shameful and unpleasant than me challenging her on it.

I don’t know about the other threads.

i can only say that you accused her of questioning a Jewish person’s account, which you seem not to be able to back up, and then you moved the target.

Yes, she is the one dismissing it because of anti brexit/reform or not being at school very long.

Clav said

Those twenty witnesses include black and Jewish people. In this instance, Clav then went on to talk about Yinka Bankole specifically. You clearly haven't seen her other posts on the accusations about Farage and the aspertions she has cast. I am not the only person to have challenged her. Far from it.

I find it incredulous that people would re-elect someone to represent them in Parliament who, in the last two years, has only mentioned Clacton six times in the Commons.

That seems better than Ed Miliband - who has only mentioned Doncaster five times in five years.

Which is not unusual for someone who is a senior figure in a major political party, holding important posts in the shadow cabinet and currently serving as Minister. It's hardly comparable with a first-time MP in a tiny party.
