Who is the man behind the bin?

Count Binface is the only candidate to declare he will take on Mr Farage in Clacton so far.

Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain have all said they will not field candidates in the by-election.

      Yeah. From a character in a Dicken’s (?) book who swaps the beginning sounds of words. I think he’s called Captain Spoon in the book.

      Something along the lines of Berkeley Hunt (you absolute berk) is more rhyming slang.

            No, the LLMs aren’t corrupted, they just don’t know the difference between fact and fiction because they are 100% just guessing the next word in the conversation all the time.

            Also, if you correct an LLM it will agree with you but tomorrow reguess the answer, having learned nothing.

          I thought it was from an old US president, but after being so completely wrong the first time, I sat that one out. :]

      Huh. I think you are correct. It’s a quote from Binface, you know. Last line.
      "Are they running scared from old Binny, or do they think that Nigel’s running a cunning stunt?”
      Something about it sounds very UK to me.
