Going "WHOOOAAA BLACK BETTY, DAN HANNAN!" every time you read Daniel Hannan's name is no laughing matter. He embodies the sad state of our country https://t.co/N1Di0NeTBL

Brit's rightwing newsmedia being eternally po-faced and self-serious means that any 'threat' they see gets treated in the exact same seething, dismissive way.

Even if it makes no sense to talk like this about a joke bin. https://t.co/wShEKCPqML

Is it April Fools day ? Seriously ? A searching article on the manifesto for Count Binface.

*puts on thinking cap*

Actually, the candidate wearing a trash can on his head and pretending to be an alien running on building inly one unity of public housing to mock the pro-austerity candidate is, indeed, an anti-austerity comedian. https://t.co/tIjPp5wbc2

At least Binface has an economic policy. Be nice if Farage Tice or even Georgous George could tell the British public what the @reformparty_uk economic policy is? pic.twitter.com/HPznyY3dCP

The right are shitting themselves that their private school grifter claiming to be anti-establishment is facing someone provably anti-establishment, and could win. https://t.co/XUtIMdwzw2

IT'S A JOKE. Somebody tell that humourless, ennobled yet, pimple on the arse of the body politic. https://t.co/xmSbp0G6gy

Credit where it’s due, at least Hannan is consistent.

Ridiculous and humourless. Had to be Hannan.
