@jessalinecaine It’s just bots and right wing loons.

Please stop vilifying Count Binface who is a satirical candidate! Why am I seeing so many posts on my feed doxing someone who’s standing for a bit of banter? Come on

@hugorifkind Exactly. What does he need? Cheap day return to Clacton for the count? The occasional polish?

Guys, I really don’t think anyone “funds” Count Binface. His main expense is a bin.

@aShotOfVodka93 @Bazzinho9 Likely he’ll gain custom. Good ploy. If he loses the likes of you, time to reflect.

@Bazzinho9 This is how you lose customers. Just run the business there is no need to put out why you won’t show the fight. Being held liable vs criminally convicted are two very distinct things. Total shakedown.

Didn't know this was a thing but delighted it is. Conor McGregor is a horrible, despicable rapist wanker and he should be the shame of Ireland. Well done The Burren

@Microinteracti1 I’m absolutely sure Rutte hates doing what he’s doing. Knows it’s unsavory. But those are his necessary cards to play. Until Trump is out of office or dead, whichever is first. His job is keeping NATO together. So, calm Trump a bit; keep the idiot happy.

Glorious roast from a Danish reporter here, directed at Mark Rutte, a man who has turned agreeing with Trump into an Olympic sport. NATO’s own Labrador: obedient, house-trained, and thrilled every single time daddy comes home.

@TheBritLad It’s a human in a costume. Step aside Sherlock. You absolute numbskulls.

🚨 REVEALED: The Man Behind Count Binface The satirical candidate known as Count Binface is comedian and BBC comedy writer Jonathan David Harvey. He is a Remain voter who strongly opposes Brexit, Trump, and right-wing politics. It has also been reported he said Britain should welcome all migrants. His costume may bring laughter, and visible fun to by elections but he is asset of the deep state to undermine democracy and right-wing politics. Bottom line: Voting for Count Binface isn’t supporting some harmless novelty act. It’s a vote for Labour.

@Milo_Edwards It’s the Mail. It’s shite. Next.

argentina players TAUNT england with chants about when their army UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDERED

@ChristoXFascist @chacaranda Travelled much? Nope. Next.

@chacaranda 100%. Europoors have no idea how shithole their countries are.

Good for her and all, but I feel like we always give Iceland way too much credit and attention If you are the mayor of Omaha, Nebraska, you command double the economic power of the entire nation of Iceland

@823jjd @grandadsteve77 @DemocratSteve @andrewlawrence Do you take the Daily Mail intravenously?

@grandadsteve77 @DemocratSteve @andrewlawrence The UK is broken, corrupt and a shadow of its former self. Re-arranging deckchairs, enjoying comedy shows, whilst girls are raped, people are beheaded in the street and poverty is widespread. Idiotic.

Imagine living in Clacton and knowing that no political party other than Reform thinks you're worth the bother.

@leahdionne__ Motivation: ‘Lose and he comes back.’

This World Cup has been brutal for the England team

@Annemarieward Funny man in outfit is funny man. And educated. No surprises there at all for anyone. Simply a strawman here.

The joke isn't the bin. The joke is pretending the man inside it is some random eccentric. Jonathan David Harvey is an Oxford-educated writer with three decades at the heart of the BBC comedy establishment, writing for programmes such as The Thick of It, Have I Got News For You and Yes Minister. He's won awards, been celebrated by the media, and is hardly an unknown outsider. So let's stop pretending Count Binface is just a bloke who wandered into politics wearing a wheelie bin. The costume is the gimmick. The career behind it is anything but.

@ShlamDoubleU @Gee__Gazza It’s not about genetic freakery. Not just about being largest. It’s skill. Maradona - clearly physically blessed?

How do I explain to Euros that they're shadowboxing a strawman? No one said LeBron could lace up tomorrow and dominate soccer. People aresaying give America's genetic freaks the ball at age 5 instead of a basketball and they'd be elite. Debate the premise all you want, cause truth is we have no idea, but at least argue against what people actually said not your fanfic version 🤦‍♂️

How do I explain to Americans that I could go to a random Sunday league game in England, pick out 6 random players and put them against Americas "best" athletes from Basketball/NFL/Athletics in a 6 a side football game and they'd win? Comfortably.

@Flagstaffmama64 @RichardHanania Not at all, it’s just tough for them dealing with Trump. Obama had respect, deservedly. Bushes, Reagan, Clinton all had respect. Trump though is … limited in capacity.

@RichardHanania This elitism has been around for decades, they look down at all American Presidents and people! So this isn’t a surprise, but after NATO not coming to our aid I’m surprised this was said out loud and printed!

Incredible WSJ reporting on how European leaders deal with Trump -European leaders workshopped tweets to send Trump, debating which words to capitalize. They had to sound extra stupid to win over his trust. -Trump didn't like the idea of sanctioning Russia, so they started calling sanctions "tariffs." -When a tablet to call Trudeau didn't work, Trump threw it down like a baby. -Trump took German leader Merz into the Oval Office, which he called the "Lewinsky room", and told him he could take away MAGA swag that he could sell for thousands of dollars. You couldn't make this into a comedy. The straight reporting is funny enough. But really it's disgraceful and if you have any pride in your nation you should be ashamed of this.

@mattvanswol @SenMarkKelly Soldiers with guns by voting booths? Never a good idea.

Why would American citizens be intimidated by our own troops? Troops don’t intimidate lawful voters. Chaos intimidates voters. Violence intimidates voters. Ballot harvesting, broken machines, fake emergencies, and mobs outside polling places intimidate voters. American service members standing there to make sure nobody screws with the election only scares the people planning to screw with the election. That’s the whole point.

The idea that a president would send troops to polling places to intimidate voters is un-American and illegal. I introduced legislation to make sure Trump can’t get around that.

@CliffordGr87959 @mikeysmith Another fuckwit with a keyboard. Great profile. Commas are handy btw.

@mikeysmith bin face is a bbc stooge this is gonna make farage even more popular lol

If you thought Liz Truss and the lettuce was an international phenomenon, wait until the US talk shows hear about Nigel Farage and Count Binface. It’ll start with John Oliver, but within days it will be Fallon and Kimmel. Then SNL. Farage is going to be a household name and a laughing stock in his backup market within weeks.

@RaheemKassam Count Binface IS Count Binface. Head to head with Nigel ‘up the Ra’ Farage, son of a stockbroker, privately educated. Establishment to the core.

All this Count Binface talk got me looking into who this guy really is. Jonathan David Harvey — who earns his living making comedy shows for the BBC — is an Oxbridge liberal elitist who has screeds of anti-Brexit, anti-Trump, and anti-British rants on his Twitter going back over a decade. He even thought Nigel Farage’s Brexit balloons “looked Russian.” His “Talent Manager” Hollie Ebdon once wrote of Farage, “Oh f*ck off you horrible c*nt.” Don’t get me wrong, I think Binface is a hilarious character, and Harvey is clearly a talented satirist. But pretending he’s just some random bloke in a suit having a laugh is nonsense. He’s an establishment luvvie sent to try to undermine the aspirations of people who vote for right wing candidates or parties. Reminds me of when Al Murray ran against Farage in 2015 and got 300-odd votes. Mocking people to their faces is only funny for so long.

@HardTruth2000 @carolecadwalla Vague auto bot response. Paid by…?

@ToastedChess @carolecadwalla Worked in the pbt sector. Had a real job creating wealth rather than a life long politician like most Lab MPs. Life dedicated to removing power from the establishment & returning it to the people. He plans to reduce the bloated establishment & leave more money in workers pockets

Director of Hansard Society pointing out that Farage *can’t actually resign* That’s not how Parliament works.

@AutismCapital Switzerland-Colombia would still be playing in 2030, as the next one rolls round.

HOT TAKE: Penalty shootouts are retarded in soccer. Just let them play another 15 minutes. If nobody scores they play another 15 after that. Repeat until a point is scored. Penalty shootouts seem too random and luck based. It invalidates the earlier skill based play of the game.

@RealStevenJBass @MarinaHyde That’s a newspaper article. Not a blog. Next.

@MarinaHyde If Hyde were smart, she could help marginalize Trump with the goal of making him push better policies. Instead, she just blogs AI-by-the-numbers schlock that *helps* Trump. And, she isn't smart enough to understand how she's doing that.

@fadule_ Utter tosh. Technique?

Division 2 cornerbacks are more athletic than anyone involved in the World Cup. If Russell Westbrook had 6 months of practice he’d be the greatest Soccer player to ever live.
