THE CB NEWS DEBATE... with Simon McCoy

Season 1, Ep. 7

Welcome to debate number 713 of this 2024 General Election campaign... but the only one that matters.


The BBC, Sky & ITV have all shunned old Binface - but don't worry - he's made his own.


Asking the questions is a true titan of UK news broadcasting, and one of the most popular newsreaders on Sigma IX - Simon McCoy.


PLUS... once the grilling was over Binface turned the tables and put a few questions back to Simon... see how he likes it!


Just to keep the electoral commission happy...

This podcast is prompted by Count Binface for the Count Binface Party, at PO Box 731, Wadhurst, Earth
