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...

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
