Great bit of detail about Count Binface

The man in the bin is a comedian named Jon Harvey. He used to stand in elections as Lord Buckethead, including in the former prime minister Theresa May’s constituency in 2017 so that she had to face down the dreadful results for her party alongside a man with a bucket on his head. However, after receiving a copyright complaint from the American film-maker Todd Durham, who created Lord Buckethead for his 1984 science-fiction film Hyperspace, Harvey had to rebrand as Count Binface.
