Count Binface


Count Binface is a character created by the British comedian Jon Harvey, first announced on Twitter on 12 December 2018. He was a candidate for Uxbridge and South Ruislip in the 2019 United Kingdom general election against incumbent prime minister Boris Johnson.
In earlier elections Harvey stood as Lord Buckethead, but was forced to change the name due to a copyright dispute with Todd Durham, the originator of the character. Another individual contested the Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat as Buckethead, representing the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, to which Binface said he "look forward to both the hustings and to challenging to take part in a receptacle-to-receptacle debate".
On 27 February, Binface announced his intention to stand in the 2020 London mayoral election. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the election was delayed until 2021.
