The guy playing him didn’t own the copyright, since it was originally from an 80s TV show. Once he made the character famous, the copyright owner fucked him over and he had to come up with his own character, thus Count Binface.

That’s pretty shitty. I think count binface is a better name tho tbh.

Pretty sure the good Lord Buckethead only runs against the Prime Minister in general elections.
Every hero needs a sidekick for the smaller jobs

Ok, I’m completely wrong; they’re the same person. Lord Buckethead was copyrighted so he had to metamorphasize (painfully by his account) into Count Binface.
Not sure if this is a better supehero backstory though.

Interesting back story.
Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.
Count Binface is the second Lord Buckethead, the one who made the character famous when he stood against May in Maidenhead.

May in Maidenhead
That’s not part of the bit, is it?

A sad story involving a young food waste bin and Operation Yewtree.

The Tories already morphed into Posh Fascists so why would any person with a yearning for anti-immigration, nationalism, extremelly punitive Justice System, genocide support and strong-against-demonstrations, vote for the non-Posh version.

They believe Tories don't go far enough.

Any victory over fascism should be celebrated, brother.

Looking at the European fascism trend, I’d vote an actual trashcan over those funko-pop Nazis.
