Bunty, Buckethead, Binface - and Boris Johnson - BBC News

In a strange but honoured UK tradition, UK's prime minister heard his constituency result next to a man in a mask.

Other candidates standing in Uxbridge and South Ruislip included Count Binface, arch-rival Lord Buckethead, and "Bunty Twunting-McFuff", or Norma Burke.

Count Binface gets *69* votes: “I see this as an absolute win.”

[nibunibu]

Why are ridiculous, cartoon based, attention seeking candidates like Boris Johnson, allowed to ruin the serious contest between buckethead and binface?

[ennius]

Lord Buckethead. The candidate that we need, but don’t deserve.

[tommullen]

You've got to love the fact he name checks Lord Buckethead and Elmo and no one else. Count Binface must be fuming!

[babyvalentine]

The worst part about this is that old Boris still manages to look like the craziest person on the stage. Remarkable.

[KevTheImpaler]

If only Count Binface had not split the Loony vote.

"I'd like to thank Lord Bucket Head, Elmo and others."


Yeah that about sums it up. That's our actual PM right there.

[mistery-ed]

Only in the country that gave us Monty Python could you get candidates like these!

[heathhuston]

It’s the little things in life that make you smile.

[Revan]

Next time Lord Buckethead and we will accept your rule.

[blackblade]

why didn't every other party stand down so that lord bucket head could get in?

[mulletclub]

Buckethead & Binface - you've made me so proud to be British right now I could weep

[pc]

Boris Johnson is lucky to have shared the podium with Lord Buckethead and Count Binface.

[alnotbiggaytho]

I love how Buckethead flips off Binface when getting more votes than himself

[jamesbradshaw]

Some very serious people will laugh and joke about this lineup of candidates. To me, this is the best lineup of the most honorable and very humble people I have seen standing up for election in many a long year, long may they roll each and every one of them.

[luigisthebetterplumber]

How he read this with a straight face is absolutely commendable.

[michaelzheng]

This is what I love about Britain, the whole nation is just a comedy goldmine

[DUSAbruddah]

The next war, bucket head v bin head. THEIR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!

[celestialsalamander]

I think a lot of people who voted for Bucket head did so because they had him confused with count Binface.

[vinzent]

that guy with the weird hair who spoke at the end had the funniest costume
