I love that the BBC crew in the background can't contain their laughter 😂
@
There would never be a more poetic justice than Nigel losing his seat to Binface because of his own actions. Please god people of Clacton, make this happen

“A tete-a-lid debate” 😂😂😂

"I'll save the taxpayers £380k without doing anything" is actually a valid reason to vote for him, which I was not expecting to hear him say.
@
Some people are annoyed the interview never cracks a smile, but I'd argue that the BBC "Professionalism At All Costs" mentality makes for an incredible comedic foil.
@
This guy is very sharp, the humour is so on point

When did you last hear a parliamentary candidate give clear and direct answers to the questions they were asked, as Binface does?

I’d vote for him!
@
Absolute GOLD.
Bin-face Vs Frogface.
BIN FOR THE WIN,
Frogface for the bin

I am very much enjoying all these serious journos having to interview a man with a bin on his head. Pretty much sums up UK politics at the minute.
@
Count Binface is underestimating his chances! He's got the momentum!
@
If Clacton don’t vote in Binface, then they have no sense of humour. This is a once in a laugh time opportunity. Please don’t mess it up.
@
Binface seems to know where Clacton is, so he is already ahead of his opponent.
@
I’m over your moon, I’m over my moon…

If only I could vote for him.
@
Come on Clacton, there’s only one serious way to vote… Count Binface
@
A win for Binface would be quintessentially British.

1 on 1 debate on the BBC it would be brilliant having the Joke candidate vs Count Binface

The irony of binface is that he actually does know politics. Very witty.
