The Angry Mob
AN effigy of the Prime Minister will be burned at the bonfire night and fireworks celebrations in RiponFunnily enough TB is off to see some friends in Ripon for the weekend, he will keep his eyes peeled for the guy. Blogging will be lightish, but will put some stuff up on the train. Toodle doo.next week.
The organisers, Ripon Gunpowder Plot, decided to make a giant Gordon Brown figure after consulting with sponsors and members of the public about whose face they would like to see on the Guy at the event, which takes place at Hell Wath on Friday, November 6.
Committee member John Richmond said: "Guy Fawkes did want to blow up the Houses of Parliament; it was a political plot, so we wanted to keep a political theme and with the economic situation as it is and an election coming up, Gordon Brown was the perfect choice."

Ah, to see that would be good!
If you end up passing the burning effigy, one would hope a video clip of it makes it into your blog for the rest of the world to enjoy! :)
Matthew Norman (Indie) has it - shoot Brown and put him out of our misery
An effigy?
How about the real thing? With his guppie slack jaw it could self-vent the flame stack and create more hot air than he has ever done in parliament.

Yorkshire has been overrun by political correctness.
When I was a lad, we'd have put the real Gordon Brown on the fire - and stuck a rocket up 'is ärse for good measure.
Then we'd astomped off in us clogs'n 'ad pie'n'peas'n' a pint at t'pub'n 'ad a good laugh't bonfire fun.
I can see a by-line: "Hell Wath no fury like…" (something or other)
As for putting stuff up on the train: I think we'd all rather you put it up on the 'blog :-)
... why only an effigy ?
