    And here’s the thing that a lot of short minded people missed.

    Count Binface was never going to win, but that was never the point. If you seriously thought that. Then you need to get your head checked.

    The entire point, was to make a farce out of Farage’s grandstanding.

    That’s why no major party ran, the probe would happen anyway.

    And guess what, it worked.

    Count Binface was everywhere going into this election and everywhere coming out of it.

    Binface won.

    Unfortunately, this whole thing sounds like another Trumpian story where everyone goes “it’s all over for him now” and he just keeps chugging along.

    I’ve taken no public money

    Letting politicians accept private funding is arguably worse, as it beholds them to private interests.

      What’s funny is that politicians job would be to get salary from public money to represent public will.

      So that’s an admission of willing to say whatever for money from whoever, hence why this bastard loves Russia and Israel among other things.

    I’ve heard Count Binface is saying there was confusion at the polls. Voters could not tell the candidates apart as both are filled with garbage.

    Farage also faced criticism for failing to turn up to the Clacton count in Essex, saying he had been told by police of an organised attempt at disruption

    Maybe the could have snuck him in a catering truck.
