Who is the man behind the bin?

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.

    I love that a joke candidate has more chance of beating Farage than a real one.

    I would love it even more if real candidates had a chance of beating Farage but let’s be realistic about the state of UK politics. I’ll take my love where I can get it.
