His credits include some of the biggest satirical TV shows of the last thirty years, including The Thick Of It. Farage vs Malcolm Tucker would be a good watch.
Aside from the politics I hope the people of Clacton have a sense of humour. Seeing Binny make a maiden speech in the house would be priceless.

Already green on this
In a two horse race I doubt the right can out vote the public's sense of humour.
This will be the test of what British values are.
The main reason I want him to win is to demonstrate to Americans what democracy means, it's not just the right to choose, it's the ability to stand and be chosen (without needing a multimillion dollar battle fund).

Only a Labour supporter could come to that conclusion

There's always been high regard for satire, irreverence and pinpricking the balloons of the pompous in the British psyche - you only have to look at our humour - Monty Python, The Goons, Blackadder - to name a few.
I think it would be a triumph for true Britishness if Binface was voted in. I have my fingers crossed
Unfortunately I've seen quite a few interviews with Clacton residents since, whose average age is about 30% higher than most constituency's, and teeth per jaw looks to be about 30% lower. It's no accident Farage picked Clacton to campaign in.......

Vance is right ... British politics is well and truly broken and Britain is a jokeI think it would be a triumph for true Britishness if Binface was voted in. I have my fingers crossed

It's a generous interpretation of the phrase "trading ONLY tread", but I think that insight can be taken as another vote for Binny.ForFolksSake wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2026 10:04 am
