Holy shit it’s Miles Davis! I’m a huge fan, Sketches of Spain is one of my all-time favourite albums and has helped me deal with some tough times. Thank you for all the work you’ve done!
“Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house."
You should read-up on some of the things, outside their field of expertise, that have been believed by Nobel Prize winners.
Even big brain people can harbour tiny brain thoughts somewhere so it might be possible to get A’s in history, eng lit and a modern language whilst still being scientifically illiterate. Who knows?
It is very funny to me that idiot assholes can be chemically induced to experience ego death, and, sometimes, this results in them starting to form an actual conscience.
It is a condition, or family of conditions. Normal brain development involves severing millioms of connections in the toddler's brain. Some people don't develop normally. LSD helps cut redundant connections.
Better than LSD is probably actively challenging your assumptions, and getting proper sleep.
Maybe he can be part time UK MP, part time US President? I'd vote for him, he could take trump easy, and no one knows exactly what the US democrats stand for lately.
I unironically think Gary is going to feature Binface in an episode if he's elected as a MP, it would make numbers skyrocket and Binface is able to be serious while cracking jokes

That is unironically a good idea

Half of Binface's ideas seem to be unironically a good idea, and half seem to ironically be a good idea.

Honestly, it would be kind of fun to go through early schooling again and flex what I've learned in university.

This would apply to enough people to justify separate schools for them.

That's what I was gonna say. You don't want the uk maga types in a room full of kids several hours a day.
Give them their own schools, but they still have to sit at desks and chairs the size corresponding to their year.

Thats a bit out of date. All the majot parties said 2 weeks ago they weren't going to dignify Nige's tantrum by standing, and they havent.
Count Binface is literally the most legitimate candidate opposing Farage. The other candidates are 20 odd independents plus the neonazi Laurence Fox

I'd vote for him even if he was running against reasonable, normal candidates.
Given who he's actually running against, there's absolutely no question. If he doesn't win, it's a travesty.

As much as I support this, the idea that a climate change denier would be capable of completing A level education is just unrealistic.

I've talked to these people, an electric drill couldn't get past that thick skull. Words mean nothing to them.
I humbly suggest a large does of LSD an hour before school starts, then a dose of Ecstasy at the beginning of the lesson.
