The Angry Mob!
AN effigy of the Prime Minister will be burned at the bonfire night and fireworks celebrations in Ripon 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." snip http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/ripon/Gordon-Brown-effigy-to-be.5778381.jp
