    It took me a while to find an interview with the real Jon Harvey aka Count Binface.
    This is just about a year old. Not current, but quite recent.
    If you are curious about this guy, here’s a good look at who he really is.

      Nigel Farage takes his ‘fight with the establishment’ to the voters

      Farage said his decision ‌to stand for re-election was part of a strategy of “sticking two fingers up at the establishment”…

      It was at this point that Mr. Farage made the fatal decision that the best way to rally support from anti-establishment voters would be a one-on-one popularity contest with a man wearing a garbage bin on his head.

      Having watched the last video, now I see why he was able to run rings around the (rather ill informed) Sky reporter - he’s a comic and author who has worked for Armando Iannucci, BBC News and does the end of year clip shows for the topical comedy panel show Have I Got News for You. He’s intelligent, quick witted and knows UK politics alright.
