I remember the uproar when they used a caravan with a face peering out of the window because the registration plate was P1 KEY.

Ive seen shrek blown up and others.
I dont have a problem with people being offended, they play their part, in that they are offended and can do F all about it. Imagine a world where all offence was acted upon?
Oh I see LI has thrown his lot in with Tin pot nationalism. Maybe if he had any principles he could make a Guy out of em and burn that.

He is a nasty little fascist toad. Probably one of the worse slimey weezley characters ever seen in politics.
And as he said on Sunday he won't rest until Scotland is a Republic.
Bad man, here's hoping that voodoo comes good tonight and he spontaneously remotely combusts in real life....

Why Salmond and not Norman Baker?
If you want to burn an effigy of a politician.....

It's been Norman Baker's ambition for YEARS to be blown up in effigy at Lewes. All of the bonfire societies understand this and therefore choose never to give him the satisfaction he craves.

Jesus. It's an effigy! I'd be chuffed if someone made one of me.

I appreciate what you are saying, but I guess that's what I'm talking about. In the actual context of things, he is disliked for trying to "break up" the union.
The idea that he is universally accepted as being a tw*t is true only to those who hate him for - trying to "break up the union".
Someone in this thread called him a fascist? & Scotland being a Republic would somehow be awful. These are matters of opinion.
My point is, I see it as quite a political point being made, and it comes across as being kind of nationalistic when Brits burn a Scot, apparently for wanting Scottish independence.
I understand that it's all kind of fair game for the Lewis Bonfire, but the fact that he has been considered worthy, for what he has tried to do, I think it reflects badly on those who would chose him. But that's just my opinion.

I think you are right, but hence my criticism of it. It looks worse than it really is, or it's going to, to some people.

Why, in the 21st century, people need to be part of a society 'commemorating' incidents of religious and political division from half a millenia ago.

As always, the slogan LEST WE FORGET features strongly in the statements being made by all of the bonfire societies. The centenary of the outbreak of WW1 will be remembered in particular. Respectfully.
