Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.

Count Binface's rival Lord Buckethead is also in the line up but he is directly behind Boris. you can see his bucket if you know what to look for:

The guy in the goggles at the far side of the image is apparently Yace "interplanetary time lord" Yogenstein, a. third sci-fic themed gag candidate? I don't know what his deal is. very little information online.

The scene initially takes place in a Dunkin Donuts and the daughters are explaining how they recycle unbought donuts each day while the santas are trying to order some. Then the scene suddenly shifts to a morgue and the daughters are morticians moving the santas on gurneys.

Eventually, every scene just starts happening at the same time and every person is talking over each other about different things. A santa is talking about a woman he likes, another santa is confessing to a bank heist, a third santa is trying to trigger a schizophrenic episode of a fourth santa, a daughter is plotting how to murder a man, and another daughter keeps talking about making donuts.

And all of this was written as a play script.

I once attended a meetup for the book author and people were asking about the santa and daughters scene, what it meant , and why he wrote it. He responded with something like "I don't remember writing it. I think I was drunk when I did and my editor didn't tell me to remove it."

"Unlike the myth of capitalism, which claims to compensate workers for their labor fully, the actual nature of capitalism is that ownership by the capitalist class of tools, the means of production, and sufficient resources to keep workers alive while they create goods and services allows them to steal part of the worker's labor and claim it as their property (see surplus value). Library socialism instead offers another means of distributing goods, both capital and consumer. It provides a way to make us all much more affluent on average, distributing goods and services to where they solve the most needs, not just to where they generate the most profits for a few. And by sharing items, it means that fewer items can satisfy the wants of a society completely."
