Count Binface is the only candidate to declare he will take on Mr Farage in Clacton so far.

Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain have all said they will not field candidates in the by-election.

      Well … no!
      Nobody said you were wrong … right?
      The point here is that you now know a new form of joke, the Cockney Rhyming Slang.
      You can recognize it in the future. And you know, laugh. Or something.

          Yeah. From a character in a Dicken’s (?) book who swaps the beginning sounds of words. I think he’s called Captain Spoon in the book.

          Something along the lines of Berkeley Hunt (you absolute berk) is more rhyming slang.

          Huh. I think you are correct. It’s a quote from Binface, you know. Last line.
          "Are they running scared from old Binny, or do they think that Nigel’s running a cunning stunt?”
          Something about it sounds very UK to me.
