Timing is everything in comedy and, so it seems, in British politics for an everlasting comic candidate who wears a garbage can on his head. Count Binface, a self-described 5,000-year-old intergalactic space warrior, is having an otherworldly moment in a special election derided as a farce long before the ballot was packed with nearly three dozen candidates, many from the silly end of the spectrum. Binface, who has run against prime ministers past and present, was the first to throw down a challenge when Reform UK leader Nigel Farage abruptly quit Parliament and said he would seek re-election to clear his name over financial allegations. #news #UK #politics #election #CountBinface #Farage
