The one that has less trash in his head, obviously.
corrupt piece of shit he is. Hope Count wins
let's hope the Count can kick the cunt to the kerb
Why isn't the HMRC investigating and taking money from him. If I owe HMRC 50 pence they will fine me and want every penny but politicians can launder billions of pounds and not a peep from the scumbag HMRC.
I set my hopes on Count Binface. Although if he actually wins, he will face an interesting challenge in parliament. As far I remember, hats (and probably helmets, too) are not allowed in the House.
He can contend that it is his face.
Sinn fein just don't turn up - can't he do the same?
I feel like his novelty would wear off if he actually appeared in Parliament. He'd probably be told that the costume won't be allowed and then become an abstentionist in protest.
Don't be pessimistic. Look up Martin Sonneborn, MEP. He got voted into the EU parliament in 2015 with his purely satirical party "Die PARTEI" and is still there, because he does a comparatively good job. While still being satirical.
A massive way to elevate his satire career, at least.
Clown vs. Clown = EPICNESS
Nothing in the article suggests Farrage is going to lose this election, or even that the stunt has failed per-say. He's still getting invites to TV shows in order to regurgitate is fascist agitprop. There's no indication that the Labour government will pursue prosecution in a way that would disqualify him from high office. And Reform UK remains poised to sweep Parliament regardless of the BinFace vanity campaign
Putin not giving you enough money?

It should say "B I N S"
At least there's one candidate who isn't pretending it's not a clown show.
do they think that Nigel’s running a cunning stunt
This is deliberate, isn't it? He wants people to think "Nigel’s a stunning cunt"? Good one
The one flaw in that plan: people end up seeing that face and realize he really isn't that stunning at all.
Yeah, just a cunt
Binface has 4-1 odds to win, so there seems to be a very real chance he wins this election.
Which would be absolutely hilarious.
It's Count Binface. For now. I don't think that a peer can serve in the House of Commons, so I think that he might just have to give up his title and serve as Binface if elected.
"Count" is not a valid title in the British peerage. The equivalent rank in the UK is "earl". Though if he wins, I think it'd be a moment of immense cultural significance so he should immediately be elevated to the Lords as a life peer, just to make the title official. He can be Britain's only living count.

Hmm. Apparently in said system, the wife of an earl is a countess.

Ah.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl
The Norman-derived equivalent count (from Latin comes) was not introduced following the Norman Conquest of England though countess was and is used for the female title. Geoffrey Hughes writes, "It is a likely speculation that the Norman French title 'Count' was abandoned in England in favour of the Germanic 'Earl' [...] precisely because of the uncomfortable phonetic proximity to cunt".[7]
I imagine that Count Binface simply doesn't fear such proximity.

Nor can he wear a bin on his face.
That's Count Binface!

People of Clacton, do the funny thing please!
Asked what his appeal is going to be to the people of Clacton, the comedian replied, “I’m not Nigel Farage.”
If Count Binface wins, he'll never be able to show his face in public again.
He'll shirk back into his hole for two years and then pop back out as the leader of the new right-wing insurgent political party "Rejuvenate Britain" or something.
"Compost Britain"

The title should have been: Farage, left, fighting a trash can.
I think they could do some great campaigning with a little bit of real effort:
-
have people walking around campaigning for him dressed as binmen and cleaning up trash
-
some art work of binface overhead throwing farage into a bin, "clean up Clacton, bin Farage. Vote Binface"
