Count Binface’s Wild By-Election Manifesto

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Count Binface, aka Lord Buckethead, is throwing his hat into the Makerfield by-election with a manifesto so wild it’s turning heads — from a two-pound cap on Wigan kebabs to forcing cyclists to ride unicycles if they break the Highway Code. He’s also renaming HS2 to FFS1, promising WiFi on trains, reviving Ceefax, and even changing Rugby League tries to five points “in line with inflation.” With 20 pledges mixing local fixes and surreal comedy, this comedian’s campaign is making the race more entertaining than any traditional contender — and whether any of it actually happens if he wins? That’s the real question. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
