Yeah, and that was in Tatton in 1997 against Neil Hamilton, of course, then one of the many, many people who has fallen out with Nigel Farage when in his same party. Over the weekend, by the way, I read a book by John Sweeney. It's not out yet. I was reading a proof, John Sweeney, who a lot of our listeners may know from what he's been doing in Ukraine recently, but he's written a book about Nigel Farage. I was asked for a blurb quote, as we often are, Rory. My quote was...”

Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing party reform, resigned because there have been lots of scandals around the funding for his party, triggered a by election, said he was going to stand against the establishment, show the Tories and others. He could come through, and the candidate who's emerged as a big rifle, because the other parties refuse to stand, is a man called Count Binface, who wears a dustbin or a trash can on his head.

Because even though Nigel Farage got a very big majority at the general election, I think a lot of people in Clacton realise that this is a stunt that he was finally getting serious questions about the corruption issues related to him and Posse George and Richard Tice, who's now also been referred to the Parliamentary Standards Committee. And this was a way of he thought parking all that. The main parties, as you say,”

You mentioned policing efforts earlier. Knox County Sheriff's Office provides coverage for Farragut. How satisfied are you with the services KCSO is providing Farragut? I've had a long friendship with incoming Sheriff Brent Gibson. I've known Brad about 15 years.”

Because what I think we got right in the interview with him is we got a bit of serious and quite a lot of funny.

46:22· open transcript“ because planning for details of the trip have not yet been finalized. Far-right candidate Nigel Farage has regained his seat in the British Parliament, beating a field of fringe candidates, led by a trash-can-wearing comic Count Binface, and a special election boycotted by the mainstream parties. They called it a farce. Nigel Farage is the leader of the anti-immigrant Reform UK Party.”
5:07· open transcript“ cleverly and rightly said, this is a stunt we're not doing it. So that's what has made Count Binface emerge in the way that he has. There was a very misleading poll a while back, which was a national poll. Who would you like to see win? And Binface beat Nigel Farage around the country. There's been the first poll in Clacton, and it's something like three to one.”
