Politics count binface Daniel Hannan
Daniel Hannan wrote an article criticising the economic policies of Count Binface (including one that doesn’t exist) – 22 facepalms visible from Sigma IX
We cross now to the world of Daniel Hannan – Lord Hannan these days, of course, having been rewarded in 2020 for being such a staunch advocate of Brexit.
Daniel Hannan. A Peer. Just when I thought we had hit the bottom…

Hannan is the brainiac who insisted that nobody was suggesting leaving the single market, although he also told us that –
There’d be no lorry jams
The upside of coronavirus was the return of the curtsy and the bow
Churchill wasn’t a racist because he wasn’t as bad as Hitler
Which is why we’re not too worried by his latest column, in which he outlines why Count Binface isn’t funny – and why his policy on price-capping kebabs would be a disaster for the kebab market.
This is truly amazing. Every sentence in this is joyful. pic.twitter.com/8kQgqrmSj4

The problem with that is that Count Binface doesn’t have a policy on price-capping kebabs. Wigan kebabs? Yes. 99 ice-creams? Yes. Kebabs? No.
A Wigan kebab, for those not in the know, is a pie on a barm cake – or however you refer to a bread roll in your part of the world.
The policy formed part of Count Binface’s manifesto for the Makerfield by-election, and is unlikely to be on the agenda for Clacton, so Lord Hannan is wrong twice over.
Despite that, he proudly shared his article that completely misses the satire of the Count’s policies.
“I’ll cut your taxes and raise everyone else’s”. The pledge happens to be Count Binface’s, but it’s what all the parties promise, and it’s why Britain is in such a mess.

The reactions were no more scathing than the po-faced article deserved.

The Telegraph has published a lengthy opinion piece attacking – seemingly entirely seriously – Count Binface’s economic policies https://t.co/DzVtk4c7T2

🚨 THEY’RE RATTLED BY THE BIN 😂🗑️
Daniel Hannan helped sell Britain Brexit.
Now he’s written an entire page explaining why @CountBinface “is no laughing matter” and embodies “the sad state of our country”.
No Daniel. The Bin is the response to the absurdity you helped create.… https://t.co/36cB8S1PVb

Sorry but I’m a single issue voter and I really want to nationalize Adele.

You're attacking the economic policies of a bin because you're so afraid he'll beat Farage.

With a straight face, as the tragedy of Farage becomes farce, Brexiter Daniel Hannan critiques the Count’s manifesto in The Telegraph. This Daniel Hannan… https://t.co/GOCuNfmAkf pic.twitter.com/YLVmYpxKYn

If you’re wondering why Britain is such a mess, it seems it’s nothing to do with austerity and Brexit and 14 years of government by a party who couldn’t even choose a leader they could stick with. It’s the fault of Count Binface: pic.twitter.com/tPgXwDnoQK

Mr Hannan, Count Binface is a satirical character. What he says is a laughing matter and your article concerning him certainly is extremely funny. Had no idea you could write satire.

The joke is that that’s what most parties try to promise of course. Yet Hannan is too thick to get the joke. He should try analysing what little policy Farage has beyond legalising fox hunting, reducing crypto regulation (encouraging money laundering), removing worker’s rights….

Could the guy who promised to build at least ONE UNIT of affordable housing actually be satirizing British austerity politics since Thatcher? We'll never know.
I wonder why a guy with 176k followers only gets 9 likes, despite distributing such gems in the timelines.
