    Bonfire night

    I think the kids in the school are building a Gorden Brown effigy on top of the bonfire.

    It's definitely him - gosh isn't that a crime or something?!

    Well, it's certainly offensive that people will have to look at the image of the financially incompetent nincompoop, but so long as they burn it they'll be forgiven, I'm sure.

      I'm sure it's against at least 30 different health and safety regulations.

          Phew! Harsh!

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                They're burning a 30-foot high effigy of Jordan in Kent:

                Also (related links from that page) spotted a Woss + Brand burning (2008). Excellent.

                  One of the years I went to Lewes the BBC were there doing the fireworks and it was televised. Stunning.

                  The pope gets roasted every year by the way.

                    Thought that sort of thing was against his religion?
