It's such a contrast, really. Jon Craig asks dumb questions like 'Who are you?', 'Why are you standing?', and 'Are you going to save your deposit?'.

The #ManchesterEveningNews asks smart questions and it turns out that @CountBinface has actually done research into local matters.

How Count Binface plans to Makerfield Great Again

The intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons has contested more elections than most people have had bin lid breakfasts. He took time out from conquering galactic empires to speak to Beth Abbit about his intentions in Makerfield.

I strongly suspect, from the way that Jon Craig initially turned his back to @CountBinface, commented that it 'looks like something out of Star Wars', and tried to hand back to the studio as Anna Botting was saying 'It's Count Binface.', that Craig genuinely did not know.

Whereas the #ManchesterEveningNews very much did know Binface and loved being next in line after that interview.

One can see @CountBinface talking to the next people along, the 'proper journalism' of the #ManchesterEveningNews, here:

https://youtube.com/v/io_GqxZW1zA

I suspect that Jon Craig is not going to live this down for a long while.

Anna Botting: "He wants you to talk to him, Jon. It's Count Binface."

Craig: "Ah, oh right. OK."

Binface: "Do you want to talk to me?"

Craig and Binface: "Go on then."

Craig: "Who are you?"
