Summary
Count Binface is running to be London mayor, and he joins me live from the Martian surface to discuss his campaign pledges, including naming London Bridge after Phoebe Waller, and people who put their speaker phones on public transport to be forced to watch the movie version of Cats every day for a year. We talk about standing against Boris Johnson and Theresa May - and what he thinks of the other candidates.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, Owen Jones here. Welcome to the podcast. Now, count Ben Face. That's who we're talking |
| 0:10.6 | to today. Yes, we are. Or Lord Bookhead. He's stood against Theresa May and Boys Johnson. |
| 0:16.7 | I think we all know who we're talking about. Have you just become something of an icon |
| 0:20.0 | and institution in this country? So I want to talk to him about his very interesting manifesto. |
| 0:25.3 | It's going to be a ride. So prepare yourselves. We're going to have fun here. Do you support |
| 0:34.0 | us on Patreon or use the support or function to keep all of this going? Do subscribe and give us |
| 0:39.7 | five stars on iTunes if you're feeling in a nice mood and a review of as well if you're feeling |
| 0:47.8 | even more generous. And with that said, enjoy me and count Ben Face. |
| 0:54.0 | So count Ben Face. I am, I'd say star show actually, very honored to have you here. We're not here. |
| 0:59.8 | I mean, as far as this is my first question to me, I'm just going to count me a face because |
| 1:02.8 | you are campaigning to be mayor of London. And I think we've got an excellent chance. |
| 1:07.0 | But I just don't see how you can reconcile your campaigning to be mayor of the capital of the |

| 1:18.1 | marching surface. How's that going to work? Good question. I want to kick off with, well, |
| 1:24.1 | it's very simple. Yes, I am campaigning to become mayor of the earth capital, London. But up here, |
| 1:33.5 | out in space right now, the advice has gone out to stay at least one planet away from earth |
| 1:42.4 | as much as possible. So I'm social distancing. I'm doing my bit. So I'm not paid on Mars. And I |
| 1:48.2 | had it all to myself until this bloody helicopter thing keeps buzzing around. And it's very annoying. |
| 1:53.9 | I don't know who's created. Here's that responsibility. But whoever it is, they need to just |
| 1:59.1 | quieten it down a bit. Some of us are trying to concentrate. Idiots. I suppose that's one of |
| 2:03.6 | your first commitments to stop people flying helicopters on Mars. No, no, no, no, no, I'm just saying |
| 2:11.4 | you've got to have a license, mate. That's all I'm saying. No one licensed helicopters on Mars. |
