    Entirely appropriate.

    When the world serves up clowns that don’t realize they are clowns… retort, with a clown who does.

      Half of Binface’s ideas seem to be unironically a good idea, and half seem to ironically be a good idea.

        Honestly, it would be kind of fun to go through early schooling again and flex what I’ve learned in university.

        It would be nice now that I don’t care what others think of me anymore and I came to handle crowd speaking much easier.

      If it has to be by a correspondence course… Because sadly you don’t want random adults around a bunch of teens and kids.

        That’s what I was gonna say. You don’t want the uk maga types in a room full of kids several hours a day.

        Give them their own schools, but they still have to sit at desks and chairs the size corresponding to their year.

    Maybe he can be part time UK MP, part time US President? I’d vote for him, he could take trump easy, and no one knows exactly what the US democrats stand for lately.

    “Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house."

    Still one more than Farage or Fox would 🤷🏻

      Thats a bit out of date. All the majot parties said 2 weeks ago they weren’t going to dignify Nige’s tantrum by standing, and they havent.

      Count Binface is literally the most legitimate candidate opposing Farage. The other candidates are 20 odd independents plus the neonazi Laurence Fox

      I’d vote for him even if he was running against reasonable, normal candidates.

      Given who he’s actually running against, there’s absolutely no question. If he doesn’t win, it’s a travesty.

      It is very funny to me that idiot assholes can be chemically induced to experience ego death, and, sometimes, this results in them starting to form an actual conscience.

      Its like a condition, with a potential cure.

        It is a condition, or family of conditions. Normal brain development involves severing millioms of connections in the toddler’s brain. Some people don’t develop normally. LSD helps cut redundant connections.

        Better than LSD is probably actively challenging your assumptions, and getting proper sleep.

    As much as I support this, the idea that a climate change denier would be capable of completing A level education is just unrealistic.

      You should read-up on some of the things, outside their field of expertise, that have been believed by Nobel Prize winners.

      Even big brain people can harbour tiny brain thoughts somewhere so it might be possible to get A’s in history, eng lit and a modern language whilst still being scientifically illiterate. Who knows?

        There’s something to be said for the idea that the more intelligent someone is, the better they are at rationalizing the things they believe.

      That’s why they’ve got to start over from the beginning. Maybe by the time they get there, they’ll have improved a bit.
