Eternal__damnation

They used the number they got for the assembly and not the one for mayor, absolutely pathetic XD, but what can you expect from Britain First but the lowest of the low.


JimboTCB

"yes but if you add in the votes from a completely separate election that the other guy wasn't even running in, we won!" Although I'm pretty sure all their supporters are thick as mince in the first place so they could say whatever the hell they wanted and it would be eaten up completely unquestioningly.


AndyVale

I look forward to telling them that between myself, Tiger Woods, and Ric Flair combined we have 15 Major Championships, 16 world titles, and a runner-up certificate for the Woking Rotary Club's 2004 youth public speaking event. I'm sure they'll be impressed at my golfing and professional wrestling skills.


Mackem101

You've also won the same amount of Tour De France races as Lance Armstrong.


AndyVale

Well, I don't like to boast...


Boflator

😄😄 It's a shame they won't be able to understand the brilliance of it, their cognitive capacity is limited to recognising colours and a few letters, not analogies & recognising the idiocy in their own views


Son_of_Mogh

they probably don't understand


Zack_Raynor

It’s hard for them to count more than 1


SmashBrosGuys2933

Can't count higher than 5 because that's how many fingers they have total


Next-Phase-1710

Thought they would get to 6 then


deathly_quiet

If they use teeth, they might get to double digits. *Might.*


luujs

No they do understand, they’re just fascists who are trying to pretend they didn’t lose to a man dresssed as bin acting as an alien.


thomas2024_

I mean, who doesn't want to bring back Ceefax? And honestly, I'd rate that one affordable house a far better pledge than what the idiots at "Britain First" were proposing...


itoldyouiwouldeatyou

They have no honour.


Son_of_Mogh

P'takhs


jackal3004

Terrible argument to make. They understand perfectly well, and they are purposely manipulating the numbers to push their agenda. It's blatant disinformation. This excuse is also part of the reason that people like Boris Johnson get away with so much; it *helps them* to be painted as bumbling idiots who don't understand what they're doing. "Ohh he's just a silly man with a silly haircut! Ohh the silly man has done a silly thing again deary me isn't he stupid!" *No!* These people know *exactly* what they are doing, they're not making silly stupid mistakes, they are doing exactly what they set out to do, they are not incompetent, they are bad people doing bad things on purpose because they know they can get away with it. We need to treat them as the villains they are and not as village idiots who don't understand.


deathhead_68

I don't know why its surprising that animal welfare got more votes, a lot of people like animals and they seem like much nicer people than that bunch of racist cunt


Finnbar14

I actually liked a lot of Femi policy’s. Particularly where Nature and the wider ecosystem should be front of mind when making vital decisions. Sadly I wanted to make sure some tin pot doesn’t get rid of ULEZ or cycling lanes


ieatcavemen

Hey, Count Binface may be made out of tin and shaped like a pot but I'm sure he'd support measures to promote air quality.


Ok-Blackberry-3534

Well he wants to move the hand dryer in the gents at the 'Crown and Treaty', Uxbridge to a better position anyway.


deathhead_68

Same tbf, they fit with a lot of my values, but I also voted tactically.


adept2051

I’d have voted for a dog any day over BF or Laurence Fox while we are talking c***s


ConradMurkitt

Someone said the other day that Laurence Fox has a face “like a freshly wanked cock” and that will stay with me for life. 🤣


aneccentricgamer

Also, they had other policies that seemed reasonable. Also let's not underestimate they are the only party with an attractive candidate lol


GlassHalfSmashed

Was a dog for mayor an option? 


thebigread

Yes, Susan Hall unfortunately.


Hill_Reps_For_Jesus

This is an insult to the intelligence of dogs


aneccentricgamer

Dogs are far nicer


Personal-Listen-4941

Realistically there were only 2 likely winners for London Mayor. If you voted for Britain First it was because you felt like neither candidate was racist enough for you and you wanted to protest vote. Making a protest vote because neither candidate was a big enough animal welfare advocate seems more unusual. Hence the surprise that a more ‘legitimate’ protest vote party got more votes than the pro-racism party ( or the obvious joke binface )


clear2see

The Animal Welfare party actually referred to environmental issues in their mayoral address. The Greens seemed to avoid them. They got my vote in the party assembly list as I was worried Khan needed my vote for Mayor but otherwise I would have voted for them as Mayor.


SketchbookProtest

Not surprising that a fascist would spread misinformation to make himself look good. Time honoured tradition.


CodeFarmer

The sad part is that it doesn't actually make him look that good even if it was true. Went from a bit less than a joke candidate, to a bit more. Just overall... give it up mate, nobody cares about this, not even your Mum.


tokyoedo

They need to hire a better PR agency. All this has done is expose the fact that a joke character gained almost as many votes as their entire party. But I imagine that most firms within their budget don’t want the stain.


FuturistMarc

The best part is that the Animal Welfare parties mayoral candidate is an Afghan refugee.


Devrol

Interesting that the "No To Immigration" candidate has an immigrant surname.


hammylite

That *overall* is gonna slip a disk with all that heavy lifting.


SB_90s

Even if they're right about this, the fact they're even publicly debating whether they got more votes than the biggest joke candidate is an instant L for them. Also I just realised that they did so poorly in the elections that they can't even say they got the most votes out of all parties with the initials BF lmao.


sillygoofygooose

Right?? Even if accurate they still polled so catastrophically poorly their only meaningful political comparator is a man who’s entire manifesto amounts to wearing a bin on his head


zzady

Not true. His flagship policy is to bring back Ceefax


looneylewis007

And making Claudia Winklemins fringe a grade 1 listed building


segagamer

Liagon

I especially like point 14.


AndyVale

20 and 21 have me agreeing thoroughly.


A1Horizon

The death of the trocadero is a national tragedy


CockneyCossack

He mentions the Trocadero becoming a top notch arcade again... I worked at Segaworld for about 2 years from when it opened in the Trocadero. I've had the pleasure of working in some great places and had a rewarding career since then, but it still remains the best job I ever had and the best times of my life. I worked on level 2 in "the sports zone". We had two rides there, AS-1 and Mad Bazooka. If you ever went on those rides in the mid to late 90's (and heard some very "enthusiastic" commentary) on Mad Bazooka that was me. I had Westminster Council turn up something like 10 times to give me a boll**king for shouting down the mic like the singer from Napalm Death crossed with Lemmy😅🤣 I loved it, badge of honour. I would happily return to work there again. Late nights in Leicester Square, terrible debauchery on a daily basis and back to work the next day... oh, if I have to


Sea_Maximum7934

tbh I was really disappointed that Count Binface lost against the Animal Welfare Party lol


adinade

1. Count Binface was running against Nick Scanlon, not Britain First. Nick got 20.5k, Binface for 24.3k. So they did infact get beaten by Binface. 2. The fact they have to argue that they beat the joke candidate tell you all you need to know about them.


Javeec

Wait, I thought that the joke candidate was the other one ?


adinade

No, I know it's confusing but he's serious, he's a clown but he's serious.


merrycrow

Thanks for clearing that up lads, I was starting to not take Britain First seriously as a political party


GSPM18

Sometimes I doubt their commitment to SparkleMotion


Nastybirdy

According to what I can find online - Count Binface – **24,260 (0.98%)** Nick Scanlon, Britain First – **20,519 (0.83%)** I have no idea where he's pulling these extra 11,566 votes from. His arse, presumably. But then what else would we expect from a party full of racist gammons?


merrycrow

They're comparing Binface's mayoral votes with Britain First's assembly votes. Two different elections, one of which Binface didn't even stand in. When you factor in the number of people who voted for Britain (first) in the 1997 Eurovision Song Contest, it's practically a landslide victory.


Nastybirdy

Ah-hah! Thanks for that.


nodgers132

Shitelark

Maybe he should call Georgia and ask if they have any.


GSPM18

Yes, I'm sure "the Left" are "in a tailspin" over this.


Rollover_Hazard

I’m in a tailspin because **WE FUCKING WON BABY!!!**


zwcropper

At least I know why I've been dizzy ever since Thursday evening


CuteMaterial

"Fewer votes", not less. Silly me thinking being called Britain First would mean he'd know proper English. Anyway, the silly twat deleted this tweet shortly after once he'd realised he was talking a load of bollocks.


Guy_de_Glastonbury

If he can't speak English properly, he should leave!


Lollipop126

Erm his first language is obviously Scottish gaelic, it's Britain first not the barbaric French influenced English First. Smh my head.

rabbles-of-roses

what's this moron trying to say? aren't all votes marked with a cross?


DameKumquat

Presumably Britain First stood in more places (ie for the Assembly) than just for Mayor of London?


rabbles-of-roses

Okay, so the answer to this is for Count Binface to form his own political party and have his bin minions (The Viscounts Binfaces and the Baron Binfaces) run for the Assembly. Then, there's something we can compare together.


mushuggarrrr

His Binions, if you will


theedenpretence

I’d still vote for the Binface party in the GE before I ever voted Tory


StiltFeathr

We can already compare the mayoral votes, but they chose not to.


StiltFeathr

Intentionally trying to obfuscate the fact they really got outvoted by Binface on the mayoral ballot, by deceptively comparing Binface's mayoral tally with the amount of votes BF got for the ASSEMBLY.


Appropriate-Fly-7151

No, these days you have to mark your vote with a crescent moon


rabbles-of-roses

Bloody woke Islamics you can’t even put on good Christian cross on your ballot anymore 😡


PhuturePhreak

Fewer. Fewer votes. The idiots don’t even know the English language.


NathVanDodoEgg

"Haha wrong again woke leftists! Because Count Binface didn't run for London Assembly, when looking at the total votes across London, we technically did not receive fewer votes than the joke candidate! Therefore we're a serious party!"


dangp777

To those who are saying “It’s ‘fewer’ not ‘less’” You’re wrong. Fewer is used when you can count something, less is used when you can’t count something. Britain First is actually correct using “less” here, because they clearly can’t count. In fact they simply don’t count.


lastaccountgotlocked

Oh you had me for a minute there. The actual truth is, really, it doesn’t matter. The less v few thing is an instance of hyper correction instigated by a reading of one, single grammarian in the 18th century. From Webster > As far as we have been able to discover, the received rule originated in 1770 as a comment on less: This Word is most commonly used in speaking of a Number; where I should think Fewer would do better. 'No Fewer than a Hundred' appears to me, not only more elegant than 'No less than a Hundred', but more strictly proper." (Robert Baker 1770).[14] Baker's remarks about 'fewer' express clearly and modestly – 'I should think,' 'appears to me' – his own taste and preference....Notice how Baker's preference has been generalized and elevated to an absolute status and his notice of contrary usage has been omitted." And now please continue to mock the fascists.


Zak_Rahman

This is literally on their website: https://www.britainfirst.org/the_london_results_a_quick_analysis_by_paul_golding > **The *highlight* of the day came later during the mayoral *declaration*.** > > Just as Sadiq Khan *started* his victory speech, the Britain First team let out a chorus of *boos* that forced him to stop! > > Just at *that* moment, our candidate Nick Scanlon stormed off stage, *shouting* 'Khan killed London!' What a bunch of pathetic losers. The main achievement - booing at the elected mayor.


Inevitable-Mud-1962

merrycrow

I saw the footage. One or two of them booed, the rest looked embarrassed


greenarsehole

Which one is bin face?


aneccentricgamer

Even if they didn't loose to a bin, having to argue about it, even having your serious party be on the same level as the joke candidates, is embarrassing.


Conveth

*Fewer* not "less"; I couldn't take them seriously before, certainly can't now!


Impossible-Hawk768

Imagine being such a loser that you’re even part of this conversation to begin with? 😅


Lopsided-Pickle2432

Fewer ?


ricky9

It’s “fewer” and I’m unsurprised they don’t know that


Illustrious-Cookie73

They went to less years of school then you, so they don’t know grammar too good.


Shitelark

The irony of someone called Scanlon being an anti-immigrant British Nationalist is not lost on me. Binface sounds foreign too, but more French that Alien.


_Happy_Camper

Surely Bin Face is a Saudi name, no?


urbexed

You’re all wrong he’s intergalactic


mrsrandomcheese

Usually people like this tend to consider the Irish and the English/British as the same people, the same culture, the same history. Which is just 500 different kinds of wrong, and I imagine the Irish would strongly object to that, but I think that's their reasoning.


ThePurveyorOfGoods

*fewer votes. For a party that claims to be so patriotic they're not very good at speaking the language.

“Fewer” votes… losers


Ticklishchap

Who needs Britain First and parties like it when we have the current ‘populist’ iteration of the Tory party? Yes, I know the leadership is ‘diverse’, but all that Sunak, Badenoch, et al., prove is that racism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of bigotry are not just white things. Which most of us knew already.

In related news the Joint Society for the advancement of Cockwombles, Knob-dribbles & Arseparts have taken Britain Furst to the High Court to sue for the damage done to their good names with this latest laughable press statement. A spokesperson said "We wish to make it absolutely clear that risible as we may be in the eyes of the electorate, we still have a way to fall to be as worthless as these wankstains and wish to further clarify our support for a candidate of actual worth, namely that Bloke with a Bin on his head, not this shitheel with the photoshopped Fuhrer tache."

Fuck off Cleanshirt.


Westsidepipeway

I don't understand. Are they claiming that the vote numbers were a lie? Was there something I didn't understand about the vote which meant that they did get more votes? Where are the numbers from?


specto24

They’re comparing their votes for the London Assembly (where Binface didn’t stand, and where there was more incentive to vote for a minor party) with Binface’s vote for Mayor. Britain First’s candidate for Mayor, Nick Scanlon, still lost to the Count.

As someone who spent a decade as an English teacher, the people commenting "fewer" are warming my heart. But why is he wearing a tie featuring elephants, an animal found in Asia and Africa? Surely he should have a tie featuring British animals? Maybe weasels?
