Analysis of the very strange Clacton by-election result

Just a quick note to let you know that I was up early this morning to write an analysis piece about the Clacton by-election result for The National, and you can read it HERE.

I know that Reform have been putting the idea about that Count Binface is an unfunny tool of the establishment, but I think it's beyond dispute that he provided at least three moments of true genius over recent days, albeit two of them required some help from the hapless (or at least hapless when faced with a novelty by-election candidate) Jon Craig:

1) When an American interviewer asked him about his place on the political spectrum, Binface replied: "I am the Galactic Centre, and everything else just revolves around me like little planets."  The interviewer then asked him if he could put that in American political terms, and he said "yes" and repeated in an American accent: "I am the Galactic Centre, and everything else just revolves around me like little planets."

2) When Jon Craig asked him why he "stood here in Clacton", he replied "because that's where the election was, Jon".  A flustered Craig followed up with "right...but why...why...", prompting Binface to point down at the count taking place while they spoke.  "Look, can't you see?"

3) Later in the same interview, Binface identified himself as a fan of Ceefax and Lovejoy.  Craig suddenly got quite excited, and said: "Lovejoy, that's going back a bit.  Denis MacShane!"

  1. More dross from the idiot on WOS. And he has taken to outright lies. He claims that the SNP recently held the balance of power in Westminster. The cretins as usual take it as gospel. Kerching. Money in the bank. And of course the continuing delusion that SNP is not essential to progressing Indy. The present incumbents in control in SNP need to be removed. Get the campaign of daily disruption of Westminster started the very first day after Parliament comes out of recess. If you don’t, your lives will become very difficult.

    1. Correct. Parnell-style. Which they should have done with 53 out of 56.

    1. An embarrassing post from a truly desperate independence supporter, still seemingly unable to accept his “dream” has died.
