"at the start of the year you know I was talking to reform people who said look uh you know we are the aim of this now is to move beyond our core base and move into the sort of people that might never have voted for Farage before either as UKIP or Brexit party or whatever and to do that we're going to move to the mainstream or we're going to that's part of our job now there's been a bit of collateral damage with that because they've obviously lost some ground to restore on the kind of extreme right and so on but that was the that was the aim and if if that is what you have in mind the last thing on earth that you should be doing or that you need to be doing is be doing something that seems so eccentric so eccentric that you end up in a situation where you are fighting it out day by day with a dustbin and not only that John but but you know you see reform giving into their worst online excesses in a sense what have we seen over the last 24 hours I kid you not and if you're not online and you're not on I was about to say the burning bin of X but we can't really be quite offensive to count bin face these days to use those sort of metaphors so if you're not in that kind of you know endless kind of din that is X you won't have seen this but you know you've literally had senior reform figures like Aaron Banks long time reform Farage ally donor literally saying who funds this bin who funds this guy you know like we need to be this guy is part of the liberal metropolitan elite he went to oxbridge he's just a comic it's like guys fellas honestly like if you are there's an old phrase in politics right is that if you're explaining you're losing let me just update it slightly if you're explaining that a bin is part of the establishment you are so losing like you're so losing right it's it's absurd it's comical it's eccentric it's fringe it's ridiculous which is exactly the thing that all year reform wanted to move away from but again the sort of hive online radical right mind it's eating these people alive it's boiling their brains to the point where they can actually with a straight face sit there and post a tweet saying we need to find out who funds this bin no one funds him no one funds him he's just a guy who just turns up dressed as a count bin face and can test by elections for a bit of attention well that's your enemy now lads think it seems so absurd now when you are trying to say count bin face he is the very epitome the representation on earth of the british establishment he's a bit of an eccentric who's having a laugh who's quite funny he's an aristocrat an aristocratic bin yes yeah yeah he's not one of your ordinary run-of-the-mill he's not a pleb bin no no no far from it he is not like a recycling bin he's not like a green bin he's a good old-fashioned you know hard right bin yes and it silver lined his beans he's got to see he was born with a silver lined bin in his mouth"
