Lewes Bonfire Ignites Prats

Every Bonfire Night, since the original Gunpowder Plot itself, Lewes has held a lively and well attended series of bonfires in which effigies of well known personalities of the day are paraded through the streets by the various bonfire societies and are then burned.

This year, two of the effigies were of Alex Salmond.

Cue protests from a number of prats who felt that it was "naughty" to mock him.

Guess what Happened next?

Yes, that's right, the police have launched an investigation and the effigies were withdrawn from the public burning.

A Sussex Police statement as per the BBC said:

"We are aware of the portrayal of Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond as an effigy at the 2014 Lewes Bonfire event and acknowledge that concerns have been raised.

Whilst we accept there is a long tradition of creating effigies of high-profile individuals in politics, sport, the media, etc, a complaint has nevertheless been received and will be investigated."

It is of course "ironic" that certain individuals have complained about this, given that in the past effigies of Clegg, Cameron, Thatcher, Merkel and the Pope have been burned.

Where were these complainers then?

Despite Salmond's effigies not being burned, two of Putin were (and that seems to have pissed off some Russians) and he has a lot more power and is better known that Salmond!

Scottish Independence - Whither Nanny?

With nine days until the vote on Scottish independence, it looks as though it will be a very close run thing indeed.

I would very much like to hear from loyal readers their take on what will happen to Scottish and English Nanny, respectively, in the event that Scotland votes "yes" and "President" Salmond takes orifice.
