Another masterful Count Binface interview. Joyously for the first thirty seconds you can hear John Craig in the background on the line to Sky News HQ complaining that he’d been bullied into interviewing Binface a few minutes earlier 😂👇

@CountBinface @SkyNews Jon Craig demonstrating the pomposity of mainstream journalism. Ironic that Count Binface emerged with more dignity than a tenured political reporter.

@CountBinface @SkyNews Doesn't he have to interview Binface if he interviews the other candidates? Can't show favoritism!

@CountBinface @SkyNews Count Binface seems to be like a modern day Eddie "the eagle" Edwards. A harmless, eccentric loser that somehow resonates with the British people who take to him. Good luck to him.

@CountBinface @SkyNews John Craig really miffed because the Count pointed out the press were meant to be impartial.

@CountBinface @SkyNews Can anyone explain to me, why hasn't he won? He is well-articulated, has clear agenda, absolutely transparent (not the bin part itself, obviously, but policy-wise). What's there not to like?

@CountBinface @SkyNews Count Binface needs some proper dubious financial donors / donations & some SPADS...he could make a real political impact ! As for John Craig....he genuinely ALWAYS comes across as ill-informed, out of touch & lacking ANY personality or charisma !

@CountBinface @SkyNews To be fair - he said those words while still on air to Skynews - I am sure he will be very glad he did the interview now as he is famous😀

Count Binface, and how British satire protects the establishment. There’s a tradition in Britain of only breaking our stiff upper lip to smirk at some twat who’s standing for election dressed like he’s going to run the London Marathon for charity. Count Binface is the latest one, and he’s the sole candidate (notwithstanding a few other cranks such as Piers Corbyn) running against Nigel Farage in Clacton. The usual excuse for novelty candidates is that they give voters an opportunity to make a protest vote against the establishment. But in this case all the establishment parties (the Tories, Labour, the Greens, Lib Dems) aren’t fielding a candidate. Count Binface IS the establishment candidate. He’s played by regime comedian Jonathan David Harvey, an Oxford graduate who according to his CV has written for BBC comedy shows such as The Thick of It, Have I Got News For You and Yes Minister (blimey, he must’ve started young). British satire has always been an establishment controlled release valve. Like the illusion of opposition media in Russia it’s there to give a facade, a reassurance that there’s some sort of democracy, but in reality it’s an establishment tool used to attack insurgents. Count Binface is welcomed onto every establishment news channel (even ones who refused to platform Reform), always with the same smirky smirk, and he’s celebrated by smirky establishment politicians. Over the next few weeks in the run-up to the election in Clacton, I’m going to get sick of establishment goons smirking, and I’m going to get very sick of Count Binface.

Two weeks ago I booked tickets to see Count Binface performing live in London, which seemed like a quirky fun thing to do 🗑️ Then Nigel Farage and the media furore happened, and somehow I randomly ended up being the only journalist in the audience last night at the sold-out gig (many journalists had begged to attend to no avail, apparently) 😅 The veteran journalist John Sweeney John Sweeney interviewed him live on stage in the style of Jeremy Paxman and then it was opened up to the floor. Overall, it was a very funny gig - John Harvey seemed to view the whole week is rather surreal. I think some of the best material he’d planned for the gig he’d already used on air, so he was literally ad-libbing satire on the spot based on what questions he was asked, which is pretty impressive given that the room was also not air-conditioned and so we were all sweating in close quarters for an hour and 20 minutes. I also met one of his supposed supporters, who has been funding him at the rate of £3 a month for the last 15 years 💷 (in answer to the, “who is funding him?” question) Here are some gems from the night 💎: - Count Binface clearly really detests Nigel Farage - Count Binface pledges to put David Attenborough on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square - On the topic of AI stealing creative content and taking over our jobs, Count Binface wants to “stop the bots!” and thinks we should break into OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman’s house in the middle of the night steal his DNA to create a “Sam Altman AI” - Count Binface admits he is “weak on uncontrolled immigration” given that he is an alien that travelled to Earth to stand as a joke candidate, but he says that he is holding back the rest of the spaceships from invading Earth 🚀 - However he did admit that he is an intergalactic space warrior who is bent on dominating mankind (I’m kind of up in the air about whether Clacton should vote for him now) - The Count Binface helmet does come with some sort of cooling device, but sadly he left it in the dressing room last night before the gig 🫠 - Overall Count Binface said that he just really cares about democracy, and he doesn’t think we should count on him to become a member of Parliament or any other kind of statesmen. In fact, he would like to get only *just* enough votes to prevent Farafe from being elected. - He just feels it’s important for the public to have the option to spoil their vote in order to express displeasure at current policies and politicians - And John Sweeney has challenged Nigel Farage to submit for a live onstage interview (highly unlikely, methinks) P.S. Do get in contact if you would like to use any of the images and videos that I captured last night. Yes, I do need to be paid, legal action will be taken if you use it without permission 😊 #CountBinface #JohnHarvey #NigelFarage #JohnSweeney #Clactonbyelection #UKpolitics
