An octopus could run rings around him.
An octopus wouldn't need to run. That is the point of being an octopus.
Brilliant poster. Anyway, We're all proper cyclist who obey the rules, right?
Think I'll have to dust off the unicycle if CBF gets elected
Should we be concerned about his stance on “rule-breaking cyclists”?
What rules?
Speaking as a cyclist who actually rode his bike yesterday, "rule-breaking cyclists" are typically self-entitled 🔔🔚s who give us a bad name. Those fond of ripping up "cheeky" trails and hooning through red lights without even looking sideways can both get in the bin.

No, I'll be breaking his rules too. Stupid Count that he is 😀
I am not sure his private members bill to enforce unicycles for rule breaking cyclist would get far so I am not too concerned about it.
I've got three unicycles, I'm quite relaxed about it. Not that I'll need them as I'm not a rule-breaking cyclist, obvs
Username checks out, etc.
I have a friend who is an offroad unicyclist. People say to him quite often, "don't you fall off?" and he replies "yes."
If I lived in Clacton I'd be spoiling the ballot paper. Initially I thought it would be hilarious if he won, but I've not seen anything to suggest that he'd take the position seriously if he did (not that Farage ever did either).
Having recently needed to engage with an MP who was surprisingly helpful I'm inclined to think that Clacton would be better off with a normal MP who actually cares about the job.
Not a huge amount of sympathy for them, mind you, the people who voted for Farage got what they deserved when he abandoned the place to spend more time with his money.
From the looks of things though they don't have the option of a 'normal' MP...all options look to be somewhat off that mark.
The good people of Clacton got what they voted for.
For me the issue with Binface is that he is not actually funny. Sure he picks holes in the opposition, but so could a lot of people. Bet if he took himself a bit more seriously, he would do well as a politician in the marginal areas.

But he does so in a way where normal opposition would end up point scoring he's managing to do what the other parties can't do he's seriously poking holes whilst ridiculing Farage without the risk of the main parties pandering to his publicity stunt. Making the whole thing a farce whilst highlighting the odeous turdiness is not easy i imagine.

And if Father Ted had been better researched it could have been an important documentary on the societal shift away from religious institutions due to ageing populations and declining birth rates in remote areas of Ireland.
But it wasn't, it was a ecumenical matter comedy.

I think you're missing the point somewhat. There are plenty of useless MP's in safe seats all over the country. We had John Redwood for decades. He's now taken to posting on social media about how expensive his replacements are. And people are quick to point out it's because his replacements are actually doing some constituency work.
IF (and it's still a big if) Binface does win, it might be the most useful thing to happen to a politician in years. It would show that there really is no such thing as a safe seat where you can expect to have 2nd/3rd/4th jobs and consultation roles and do nothing for the area. You never know, he might (because he has no policies) just do some constituency work rather than follow a whipped party line.
