Count Binface Runs for Makerfield
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
Count Binface, intergalactic space warrior and unlikely political contender, is running for Makerfield by-election with a wild, meme-worthy campaign centered on “Makerfield Great Again.” Dressed in full armor and wielding a bin as a helmet, he’s promising price caps on Wigan Kebabs, abolishing auto-renewals, and even reviving Ceefax — all while renaming HS2 “FFS1.” Though he’s not showing up in local polls, he’s confident he’ll snag at least five votes, citing his 24K London mayoral haul. He’s not focused on unseating Andy Burnham — whom he calls “cheeky” — but he’s making his presence known with a Cher cover, rugby league homage, and a perfect day vision featuring free parking and a local pub. A novelty act? Maybe. But he’s got policy, personality, and a clear, if bizarre, vision for Makerfield. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
