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

      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 TV show copyright owner fucked him over and he had to come up with his own character, thus Count Binface.

      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 a part of the bit, is it?

    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.

          The .ml worldnews blocks anything that doesn’t directly support china or communism in general.

            Calling them in support of communism is overstretching the truth even. They’re really just run by tankies who operate in support of Russia and China’s dictatorships and dont give a shit about economic policy. I got banned from there for saying Ukraine defending themselves was right… they called me a nazi supporter LMAO.

              If they’d met the actual reincarnation of Karl Marx, they’d probably call him a nazi too.
