    *Could Count Binface seriously beat Nigel Farage to the UK parliament?*

    "Nigel Farage is facing off against the Count Binface for a seat in the
    UK parliament, after the Reform UK party leader triggered a by-election
    in the Clacton-on-Sea electorate in response to a donation scandal.
    The candidate dressed as a bin, whose real name is Jonathan Harvey, is
    the only challenger to the controversial politician after the major
    parties boycotted the by-election.
    While many have dismissed the merits of the contest, political analysts
    such as Tony Travers say Count Binface is following a proud British
    tradition of satire and celebrating democracy."

    I seldom suggest that we imitate the poms in anything but in this
    instance I do believe they have a magic weapon that we can also make
    good use of against all those creeps running under the orange flag of
    the fish&chips auntie!
