I actually think Binface might serve an important political function - I am reminded of a race in Montreal in 1980, where the satirical Rhinoceros Party finished 2nd in votes behind the incumbent Liberal Party but had taken a chunk out of their lead.
He is pitching this as a referendum on him and his finances. His intention was to use this an a means of negating the findings of the enquiry (which are obviously going to devastating for him) and show that he has a mandate from a greater power than Parliament.
If he can’t show an uptick in his support when the only opposition is a lad with a fucking bin on his head, then his authority and claims that ‘The People’ back him are fatally damaged.
The point is that they can’t just change the law. There is a process that needs to be followed. A Prime Minister can’t just click their fingers. That would be called a dictatorship.
I knew FIFAs decision to overturn Balogun’s Red Card would have a knock on ripple effect. Expecting him to be deported in a couple of days time after a decision from an independent panel, following a phone call from Starmer.
