Binfluencer vibes
The inimitable Sarah Drummond has created BINFAX 100 which, she says is a way of contributing to the Count Binface campaign:
Yesterday, whilst on a break, I built BinFax.
Helping Count Binface put his manifesto of bringing Ceefax back into action.
That is all.
So good. I think Farage might have bitten off more than he can chew, here. As comedian Stewart Lee points out:
Binface might yet be Farage’s Waterloo. The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself. British people like to cause disruption, to not do as they're told, and vote for the funny underdog. Once Farage, a golf club bar bore caricature with his cigarettes and his pint and his love of the pound, was that funny underdog, and many were suckered in by that persona. But now he’s a cryptobillionaire’s plaything and an absentee MP. And the funny underdog? It’s the man with the bin on his head whose two decades of comedy campaigning have made him absolutely match-fit for the moment where he just might save the whole country from fascism. For without Farage, Reform is just a ragbag of discredited Tory deserters and thugs who don’t even have bins on their heads.
