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

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.

Will Reform be running scared of the police?

Why ?

@MyKittyKatty all explained here.

Farage was at the same meeting. I’m not sure he could plead ignorance in any subsequent investigation.

But it’s good to see him in Clacton.

We don’t need a report. I’ve watched the evidence with my own eyes.

Dont forget the police investigation.

Well, unless you are a spokesperson for the Met Police, that doesn't count for a lot, does it?

Which hasn't been started yet....

Uricon2 · Today 13:51

Reform has denied any wrongdoing and said it had "been the target of a hoax perpetuated by foreign-funded climate change activists".

Always 'them others', isn't it? I'm expecting them to start blaming the population of Sigma IX before long.

BIossomtoes · Today 13:51

Yet being the operative word.

Darker · Today 13:51

@MyKittyKatty Do you think we should always have to wait for the publication of reports and police investigations before having opinions?

Because that would suggest that Farage should have held off the by-election until the electorate had all the facts.

I wasn't aware that Farage had a police investigation pending?

I see there is one before the Standards Committee along with some others -
