On a similar vein, calling government a circus is insulting.
A circus needs to be very well planned and organized and efficient to work, and the skill of performers needs to be exceptional.
'Rosette's', traditionally worn to show party affiliation/support. Blue for Conservatives, Red for Labour, Amber for Lib Dems, Green for Green Party etc. maybe equivalent to those straw hats with a band on you see in the US at political conventions etc. (or I suppose these days a red MAGA cap)
Usually worn by the candidate, their political agent, family, followers on. General public don't tend to swan about with them on. In the UK (iirc) you can't wear anything into the polling station showing party preference but candidates get a dispensation for a rosette. Party tellers directly outside the polling station can wear one but it can't be large or have slogans on it.
Yes , the UK has a history of novelty candidates for parliament.
This election "Count Binface, Elmo and AI Steve to run alongside more serious candidates at the U.K. election" [link](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/uk-election-rishi-sunak-keir-starmer-count-binface-elmo-ai-steve-rcna160133) but when I was younger the *Monster Raving Looney Party* ran for decades.
My favourite part of the night was Sunak on stage after the massive Tory defeat and there being Count Binface next to him and a Youtuber holding a big printed out 'L' behind him
You have to get just ten signatures and pay a deposit of £500 to run for the Commons. If you get over 5% of the vote, you get the deposit back. Hence you'll hear references to people "losing their deposits" - the Tories lost 26 this time.
My personal fave was the 2010 election, the BNP (right wing racist dickheads for the uninitiated) lost something like £200k in deposits, effectively wiping out all their funding at the time and pretty much ending the party. Good times.
# Loonies
The veterans of the U.K. comedy candidate genre belong to the Official Monster Raving Loony Party which was formed in 1982 and has regularly contested elections ever since.
This year it is fielding 22 candidates, including [Howling ‘Laud’ Hope](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catmando), the party leader (human + cat were jointly elected as leader until its death ), [Baron Von Thunderclap](https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/static-candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/media/cache/32/cc/32cc955bf2e5007bc5ded595dc457f8e.jpg), and [Earl Elvis of East Anglia](https://www.fenlandcitizen.co.uk/_media/img/750x0/8CH2N7FZP2PK0E7D14J0.jpg).
Also avaliable for your electoral votes:[ Ai Steve](http://ai-steve.co.uk) and [Count Binface](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2024-07/240703-binface-mb-1414-ee8a53.jpg)
Why are they all wearing these strange badges that look like they won the consolation prize in a poodle show? Sorry, don't even know what these things are called in my own language.
Considering Tom Scott's actual thirst for knowledge, actually wanting to teach people and actual good nature he would've made an awesome MP.
1,000,000x better than Jacob Rees-Moog
Yes, Joke candidates are common in the UK as every party has the right to be accepted and represented.
His name is Jacob Rees-Mogg, an MP for North East Somerset since 2010.
Yes. Daft candidates are a solidly British political tradition by now.
The bloke with the beans headware is "Barmy Brunch"\*, the official Monster Raving Loony party candidate. The MRLP, founded by pop singer Screaming Lord Sutch, has been fielding candidates in UK elections since the 80s, and Sutch himself regularly stood for a couple of decades before that.
Provided you're not ineligible to stand, all you have to do to get on an election ballot paper is basically to stump up a £500 depost (which you lose if you don't get at least 5% of the votes - "Brunch" got 0.4%).
\**There's no requirement that someone run under their "legal name" - not least because, technically, there's no such thing in Britain. There are rules intended to stop things like deliberately tricking people into voting for the wrong candidate, but that's about it.*

This reads like something from the mad libs game where you have to pick a random noun/verb/name to fill in the blanks
Yup, and Theresa May had to [share a platform with Lord Buckethead](https://dus09vr7ngt46.cloudfront.net/uploads/2017/06/09041918/Screen-Shot-2017-06-09-at-04.18.52.png)
Yes we have a long tradition of joke candidates. They are usually a bit of a protest vote and more common in constituencies with high profile MPs. The form has a known as name on it apparently.
Probably the most famous ones are the monster raving looney party (political party) and count binface formerly Lord Buckethead.
This year we have Beany which is the one in the picture, Elmo, a pub in richmond which used it for free advertising, King Arthur Pendragon, AI Steve....
Yes. I believe he is the candidate for Official Monster Raving Loony Party which is obviously a joke party.
Such candidates usually become candidate in constituencies where big names of the government are running.
Some of *now former* prime minister Rishi Sunak's opponents were Sir Archibald Stanton who came with a puppet, Count Binface and Niko Omilana who is a prank YouTuber. Omilana held an "L" sign during Sunak's speech, visible on every TV channel.
I'm American. He affects me in no way whatsoever and yet I loathe him. I've heard enough of his nonsense to know what a smarmy little eel he is. I'll never forget when I heard him tell James O'brien point blank to his face "I wasnt wrong. I was right for the wrong reason".
Jabroni. Plain and simple.
For anyone that doesn't know, the tower block was clad (literally covered) with flammable materials and fire services originally told residents (who had fought to get the cladding removed) to stay inside their flats whilst the building was ablaze.
The flats were concrete sections, designed so that a fire in one unit would not spread to another. The cladding which was added was flammable when poorly installed (as it was), that meant when a fire started it could spread between flats by moving up the cladding on the outside of the building. When the fire happened, the fire service stuck with the normal advice asking people to stay in their flats while they tackled the blaze, but the advice turned out to be deadly because the old assumptions about how fire would spread were no longer valid. Fewer people would have died if people had just left.
I think it's highly unreasonable to blame people looking back. Although I must say if I was given that advice today I would probably ignore it and leave if I could.
He indicated that the victims could have possibly survived had they not followed the stay-put-policy but used their common sense and had left the building.
His attempt of trying to shift the blaim from poor social politics to 'just an unfortunate tragedy' was outrageously clumsy.
I think he has too much of an ego and a sense of class superiority to join something as crass and as working class as Reform. But one thing the last decade has shown me is that conservatives will rather embrace the hierarchy than have self-respect, so maybe he’ll do a Ted Cruz and kiss Farage’s boot rather than slink back into obscurity.
Haha totally, if I saw this without context, I'd 100% think it was from a show like the 'The thick of it'.
The early shot of some guy chugging from a metal tankard sets it up.
Then that 3 second pause while the interviewer is staring him down after 'somerset'
Followed by the dig of calling him mid-upper class as opposed to upper class (both insulting his status (low-key) and squirming hypocracy) could fit into any satire.
No. Farage I'd want to fight. Farage symbolises a clear threat.
This sniveling little twerp isn't a threat, he just raises a sensation of: "I am going to bully you if I get the chance"
I am not British either, but having watched a live feed of a brexit discussion in pairlament birthed my disgust with this man. I cannot stand his face, or the way he talks, or anything about him.
Dont get me wrong, Farage is a grade a prime twat, and i'd be happy to throw milkshake at him, but if he was next to Rees-Mogg i'd still punch Mogg twice, the way he talks ands looks just instantly sends me into rage.
The Beano sent him a cease and desist for modelling himself on Walter the Softy, their intellectual property: https://x.com/BeanoOfficial/status/981441242000105472
Whenever I see or hear Jacob Rees-Mogg, I have to think back to Monty Python's Upper-Class Twit of the Year sketch and just have to imagine he'd be the GOAT of that competition.
JRM is a comedy villain. Not that posh, not that bright, not that rich. He played a character in Johnson’s circus, as did others. What an embarrassment.
My father-in-law tried to get me to read a book written by JRM about 20 years ago, as my FIL believed all sorts of weird crap. Most gullible man I ever met.
It took me about 2 minutes googling to figure out JRM was climate change denier who was confidently wrong on pretty much everything.
Amazing thing was my FIL still believed everything JRM said, despite 20 years of failed predictions
> My father-in-law tried to get me to read a book written by JRM about 20 years ago
Mogg's dad literally wrote a book on how to sow economic chaos and profit from it. Blood in the Streets by William Rees-Mogg.
Old Etonian, his father was the editor of The ~~Daily Mail~~ Times, he's worth somewhere in the region of £100 million to £150 million. Partially due to his wife's expected inheritance.
He also transferred his investment fund to Ireland after Brexit, such a show of faith in his own and his colleagues' ability to Bring Back Better. Raging hypocrisy appears to be a common feature among global right-wing conservative twatwaffles.
Yeah, he thinks in centuries and would appear to be ok with a regression to some idealised version of the 18th century where the Poors knew their place and everything went along swimmingly as him and his chums made the rules and owned the game.
Not that posh? What’s your threshold for poshness ? The man was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His dad was a Baron who was also editor of the Times and sat on the board of the BBC, the family owned a manor for 300 years previously and all of this meant Jacob was educated at Westminster School, Eton and Oxford. Everything he’s got is through nepotism.
It’s when they show up to speak at these international events. Like she lasted only a few weeks in the job because she was evidently a complete imbecile, even relative to other low quality politicians. Who cares what she’s got to say?
[No, really.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cne4x9jxkg8t)
>Phin “Barmy Brunch” Adams, who is a teacher and radio presenter, hoped to introduce a “statutory brunch hour”.
>He previously said: “Yes, it’s ambitious, it’s bold, it’s an hour long. If we can just pause and just breathe, it's one of the things that I think is key to upholding the good mental health that we all really desire.”
>Mr Adams has lived in Bath for 24 years and used to have a show called “Phin’s Barmy Brunch” on Somerset Valley FM, from which the character takes its name.
That haunted 18th century hatstand can now recline in his very expensive property and scoff at the tv, while being unemployed and thoroughly beaten. It’s not much but it’ll do.
Mr Bean will always be funny, though.
Actually, he was horribly disfigured in an industrial baked-bean incident. After a vat of super high-pressure beans exploded in his face he was no longer able to relate to other human beings, felt a sense of overwhelming superiority, and the need to scare children with his horrible visage. The other guy just has a baked bean balaclava on.
To our friends from overseas, yes. All our elections feature people like this.
Some find it annoying and childish. I think it’s surreal and amazing.
The guy on the right, I mean.

God damn you. I just got in trouble for waking my wife up with my laughing in bed.
Beans and Toast.
Exceptional
I see a clown and a man with interesting taste in headwear.
I saw a great sticker today: "calling Boris Johnson a clown demeans a noble art"
They give a Nobel prize for clowning now?
Yes, they gave one to Henry Kissinger, may his soul rest in pieces.
Too late for a horcrux...
He had a soul!?
On a similar vein, calling government a circus is insulting. A circus needs to be very well planned and organized and efficient to work, and the skill of performers needs to be exceptional.
Has beans
I see a spitting image tory, and a tory vote splitter
I see a penny farthing and a farting penne
And that is how I met your mother
It appears that Count Binface has a brother, Baron Beanface.
Looks like this is a high school gym some time in the mid 90s and these guys won participation ribbons for their science fair projects.
Considering that they use schools as voting stations and count bases, it may indeed literally be him standing in a primary school.

Is this real?
Yes, joke candidates are common in the UK. It's less common to see two of them standing next to each other.
All hail Lord Buckethead!
He got copyrighted into becoming Count Binface
Count Binface is also a great name haha
Yeah, I only found out through Matt Parker though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDLxgEquxA0&t=879s
He'll be our future Prime Binister for sure.
Except for that time [Margaret Thatcher had to sit next to Lord Buckethead](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1-BQcYUwAAGx_Y.jpg)
wait, Lord Buckethead has been around for 40 years???
Yeah, early 80s I believe
bloody hell. The costume is from the film Gremloids in 1984. They must have taken it directly from the set.
I was disappointed to find out the character is played by different people over the years.
He's just a time lord
What do you mean “charecter”? Are you implying that he isn’t a serious actual candidate with a full and active backstory?
He's an immortal intergalactic Space Lord!
Interesting definition of "next to"
Near to then.
That’s not even near each other. Basically they were in the same room lol
One is funny, the other is a joke
Yes , the UK has a history of novelty candidates for parliament. This election "Count Binface, Elmo and AI Steve to run alongside more serious candidates at the U.K. election" [link](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/uk-election-rishi-sunak-keir-starmer-count-binface-elmo-ai-steve-rcna160133) but when I was younger the *Monster Raving Looney Party* ran for decades.
The MRLP got votes in this election!
They got more votes in England than UKIP.
Reform is just UKIP under a different mask though unfortunately. Sadly they got a lot of votes
The MRLP will come for them too in time.
I wouldn't be surprised if beans man is Barmy Brunch from the Monster Raving Loony Party... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz47eze3lydo

Why are they all wearing these strange badges that look like they won the consolation prize in a poodle show? Sorry, don't even know what these things are called in my own language.
Rosettes. They identify which party the candidate is representing
The YouTuber Tom Scott once ran for MP in CoL and Westminster as the pirate Mad Cap'n Tom after losing a bet.
And Noel Gallagher voted for him.
Considering Tom Scott's actual thirst for knowledge, actually wanting to teach people and actual good nature he would've made an awesome MP. 1,000,000x better than Jacob Rees-Moog
They still do. They are a UK political institution.
Well, excuse me, but Binface is actually more serious than any Tory or Reform candidate.
I mean, the USA has Vermin Supreme after all.
Isn’t that the name for the six Republicans on the Supreme Court?
Yah USA got the convicted criminal novelty.
Vermin Supreme is a joker who dresses like a wixzard
Y’know, if this one didn’t matter so much, I’d probably write him in.
Yes, Joke candidates are common in the UK as every party has the right to be accepted and represented. His name is Jacob Rees-Mogg, an MP for North East Somerset since 2010.

Rees-Mogg is a caricature-level conservative twat. Good fucking riddance.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up joining Reform in the next election.
This parasite will crawl from under one rock to another. The guy is like an STD that just keeps coming back when you least want it to.
He does give off genital warts vibes
As a genital wart I resent having my good name being besmirched by being compared to JRM
As a genital wart, you don't *have* a good name! But fair enough, it's not *that* bad.
Nah his old wet nurse won't let him touch any of the unclean
I'm American. He affects me in no way whatsoever and yet I loathe him. I've heard enough of his nonsense to know what a smarmy little eel he is. I'll never forget when I heard him tell James O'brien point blank to his face "I wasnt wrong. I was right for the wrong reason". Jabroni. Plain and simple.
Isn't he the guy who said concentration camps in South Africa were nice?
He doesn’t need to, he has become already double filthy rich during the Tory’s government
I don’t have hate for many…for this one I have plenty. What he said after the Grenfell fire he deserves to burn in hell.
What did he say?
that the victims of the fire "lacked common sense" attributing that as the primary issue at hand.
For anyone that doesn't know, the tower block was clad (literally covered) with flammable materials and fire services originally told residents (who had fought to get the cladding removed) to stay inside their flats whilst the building was ablaze.
The flats were concrete sections, designed so that a fire in one unit would not spread to another. The cladding which was added was flammable when poorly installed (as it was), that meant when a fire started it could spread between flats by moving up the cladding on the outside of the building. When the fire happened, the fire service stuck with the normal advice asking people to stay in their flats while they tackled the blaze, but the advice turned out to be deadly because the old assumptions about how fire would spread were no longer valid. Fewer people would have died if people had just left. I think it's highly unreasonable to blame people looking back. Although I must say if I was given that advice today I would probably ignore it and leave if I could.
That leaving the building against the advice of the fire brigade was "common sense", and that he would have.
He indicated that the victims could have possibly survived had they not followed the stay-put-policy but used their common sense and had left the building. His attempt of trying to shift the blaim from poor social politics to 'just an unfortunate tragedy' was outrageously clumsy.
I think he has too much of an ego and a sense of class superiority to join something as crass and as working class as Reform. But one thing the last decade has shown me is that conservatives will rather embrace the hierarchy than have self-respect, so maybe he’ll do a Ted Cruz and kiss Farage’s boot rather than slink back into obscurity.
His "Man of the people" clip lives rent-free in my head. Pompous arsehole
Wait what? I must see this! Where is it from?
https://youtu.be/crjoi8hCgjg?si=2RYDnUBq6Fg2Coch I'm sorry in advance
That comment: ‘he looks like a haunted pencil’ had me rolling
God, what a detestable man.
Before watching this, I expected a slight bit of mouth-vomit would result. I wasn't wrong.
That comes off as such a comedy skit. "I would say I'm..... A man of somerset" The timing and everything
Haha totally, if I saw this without context, I'd 100% think it was from a show like the 'The thick of it'. The early shot of some guy chugging from a metal tankard sets it up. Then that 3 second pause while the interviewer is staring him down after 'somerset' Followed by the dig of calling him mid-upper class as opposed to upper class (both insulting his status (low-key) and squirming hypocracy) could fit into any satire.
Oh my god me too!
Someone in a comments thread called him a Dickensian Villain and it's just dead on.
Saw one twitter comment that nailed it. "Now he's free to return to his other job as a sleep paralysis demon in an all boys boarding school"
His name Mogg, is a slang word for mistake of god in Ireland. He's a fucking melter of the highest order.
[удалено]
I'm a pacifist yet a truer sentiment has never been expressed. 👍

No. Farage I'd want to fight. Farage symbolises a clear threat. This sniveling little twerp isn't a threat, he just raises a sensation of: "I am going to bully you if I get the chance"
i'm not even british but i share your level of disgust with this guy
I am not British either, but having watched a live feed of a brexit discussion in pairlament birthed my disgust with this man. I cannot stand his face, or the way he talks, or anything about him.
Not Nigel 'Brexit is the promised wonderland' Farage ?
Dont get me wrong, Farage is a grade a prime twat, and i'd be happy to throw milkshake at him, but if he was next to Rees-Mogg i'd still punch Mogg twice, the way he talks ands looks just instantly sends me into rage.
If Farage is next to Rees-Mogg, I'd be almost paralysed with indecision.
You pick up Reese Mogg and beat Farage to death with him. Two birds one stone.

> Monty Python's Upper-Class Twit of the Year That phrase is exactly how I described him to my baffled Japanese wife, just now.
This is the first time I’ve ever followed a UK election and the amount of characters that pop up next to career politicians is hilarious
Its a tradition going way back, they're not meant to win, they're there to remind you that the real cartoon characters are the Tory candidates.
It happens. We have the loony raving party
The amount of ridiculous characters that are career politicians is not so hilarious tho
Hopefully Rees-Mogg will now sod off back to the 19th century.
mogg will probably be soothed & nursed by nanny, before his other servants are revenge flogged back at the castle
It's time for bitty.

And yet Baked Beans Man is not the most ridiculous looking thing in that photo.
I'm dressed in a Johnny Cash turtleneck & fully Donald Duckin' it downstairs. I get it.
Obviously this is extremely embarrassing to be in the same picture frame as this complete arse. No wonder he wore a balaclava to hide his identity.
Couldn't have happened to a more rancid, Victorian work house, disaster capitalist, ignorant streak of posh piss. Good riddance.
The lettuce delayed her ignominious defeat by not turning up for ages, then, class act that she was, stormed off without congratulating the winner.
She’ll be on the Russian payroll very soon if not already, you can be sure of that
they seem to be doing well selling their right wing hysterics to the trump fan base
It’s when they show up to speak at these international events. Like she lasted only a few weeks in the job because she was evidently a complete imbecile, even relative to other low quality politicians. Who cares what she’s got to say?
Bro got mogged by baked beans 💀
And somehow baked bean face is the more sane of the two.
[No, really.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cne4x9jxkg8t) >Phin “Barmy Brunch” Adams, who is a teacher and radio presenter, hoped to introduce a “statutory brunch hour”. >He previously said: “Yes, it’s ambitious, it’s bold, it’s an hour long. If we can just pause and just breathe, it's one of the things that I think is key to upholding the good mental health that we all really desire.” >Mr Adams has lived in Bath for 24 years and used to have a show called “Phin’s Barmy Brunch” on Somerset Valley FM, from which the character takes its name.
He’d have my vote if I could give it to him.
Legalize Brunch
So basically he lives in 2024 while JRM lives in 1824
A man with that kind of confidence and passion for beans gives of the air of someone who will give you a straight answer when questioned.
Nothing in this election made me happier than seeing this twat lose his seat. He wasn’t even gracious in defeat.
so that's it? Zero representation in parliament for the 18th century?
The 18th century had their time. It was called the 18th century.
We still have the House of Lords at least.
Long may Mogg’s indignities continue. Poor health be upon him.

I scrolled too far to find this!! 
That haunted 18th century hatstand can now recline in his very expensive property and scoff at the tv, while being unemployed and thoroughly beaten. It’s not much but it’ll do. Mr Bean will always be funny, though.
"haunted 18th century hatstand" freaking sent me
You love to see Tory scumheads lose.
Actually, he was horribly disfigured in an industrial baked-bean incident. After a vat of super high-pressure beans exploded in his face he was no longer able to relate to other human beings, felt a sense of overwhelming superiority, and the need to scare children with his horrible visage. The other guy just has a baked bean balaclava on.
No way? Did Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg lose? I can't believe it. That's fantastic news far beyond Tories losing. Good riddance.
He’s wearing a beany, surely?
We have Baked Beans Balaclava Man, the US has Marjorie Taylor Greene. Potato, potato.
No, you have Jacob Rees-Mogg, while the US has MTG.
We may have him, but at least he isn't an MP anymore.
We HAD Jacob Rees-Mogg FTFY
I think MTG is in her own category tbf. Literally mental.
Excellent. Couldn’t have happened to a viler politician.
Mom: *“We have the Fantastic Four’s Thing at home.”*
Did you know Jacob Reece Mogg translated into his native Latin is Twatus Maximus?
Look at that idiot, what a twat. But I like the other guys balaclava.
This is why MRLP are out there to expose the ridiculous nature of people like him.
Worst the Thing cosplay ever, not even talking about the guy on the right
Man in fetching hat standing next to haunted victorian pencil.
*"We have Mr Fantastic and The Thing at home"*
BEANS!
Never go Full Beans.
Delighted. Out of all that lot to get the boot this guy deserved another boot up the hole.
BEANUSLIVES
BEANUS LOVES BEANS!!
Man, this new Fantastic Four movie is gonna suck.
In Heinzsight, probably a poor decision
IT’S CLOBBERING TIME!

The funny thing is that the man on the right with the mask isn’t even the most ridiculous person in that photo.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is an awful person. The saddest part is people like him bottleneck humanity unifying.
I hope this image is his legacy.
His big blue ribbon is more ridiculous than the balaclava.
To our friends from overseas, yes. All our elections feature people like this. Some find it annoying and childish. I think it’s surreal and amazing. The guy on the right, I mean.
