Poll of 500 Twitter users backs the building of a statue in honour of Count Binface (formerly known as Lord Buckethead)
Yesterday, The Steeple Times’ Matthew Steeples decided to conduct a poll on Twitter. He jokingly asked: “Would you support the erection of a statue of Count Binface?”
He post-fixed: “He’s surely not offended anyone (other than Boris Johnson and Theresa May).”
The response, thus far, has been phenomenal and at a time when people have been attacking statues of Christopher Columbus, Sir Winston Churchill and Queen Victoria, we perhaps need to ignore Janet Street-Porter’s miserable demand to “junk the lot” and get something erected that celebrates a bit of fun.
Of the 495 votes cast (with 4 hours still to go) in the completely unscientific poll, 94.7% of respondents are currently supporting “Yes – Get him elevated” whilst only 3.2% are of the view “No – He’s off his trolley.” Just 2% haven’t got a clue who Count Binface actually is.
Whilst a legal dispute with the plainly joyless Gremloids creator Todd Durham resulted in the “displacement” of Lord Buckethead – who had stood in four British general elections from 1987 onwards – the political satirist Jon Harvey announced his replacement, Count Binface, to the world on 12th December 2018. He describes the character on Twitter as an “Intergalactic politician and ex-Lord Buckethead,” has a following of 17,600 and was standing in the London mayoral elections until the coronavirus pandemic kicked in.
The Count is good; let’s get him elevated.

Guns at the ready and put a stop to all this protesting and statue attacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rodders: “Chuck out all the immigrant scum”? Define immigrant, please. 2 years? 20 years? 200 years? What would happen Downunder if the Aussie Government decided to chuck out YOU? Where on earth would you go?
Binface is more use than Boris.
He wastes his deposit every time – stupid
