The very talented artist Kate Talbot, in her shop in Frome, makes marvellous needle felted parodies of politicians. Unfortunately, they’re not for sale, just there to delight and amuse - and welcome you to her shop. Latest creation, a FIBRE ART COUNT BINFACE!! #BinForTheWin #Binface

A crocheted and needle-felted figure, about 35cm high, in grey and black with a distinctive large space helmet and cape stands in a shop window. It is British national treasure, political saviour and all round hero COUNT BINFACE! A speech bubble coming out of his mouth reads: “I’m here to help Clacton to take out the trash / not spout lots of rubbish to rake in the cash / Nigel Farage never helps the community / he only does photos and lies with impunity / He’s hoping the foolish will help him to win / it’s time for his garbage to go in the bin!”
