Guy Fawkes Rehabilitation Night?
Back in The Old Country, on 5th November every year, there are bonfires and fireworks to celebrate the failure of some conspirators to blow up the Palace of Westminster ( better known as Parliament) in 1605.

In view of how the majority of MPs now appear to be eager to betray the British people’s referendum vote for freedom, I wonder if the celebrants these days might be thinking more in terms of honouring ‘The Guy,’ rather than burning him in effigy.

Guy Verhofstadt
Heil Soros! Unspeakable Guy Defends Plutocrat Meddling!
Ooops, wrong Guy photo…though seeing lots of effigies of that blathering Belgian go up in smoke would be an inspiring sight!

Then again, in many parts of the country, it used to be not Mr. Fawkes that was thus set on fire but the ‘Bishop of Rome whom some call Pope.’
Given the record of The Abominable Argie who currently holds that position…
Hey, Dope Francis, Bring Your Pedo-Priest To Justice!
Mack the Knife, 
Noreen Paterson, 
Penny, and 4 others are discussing.

I see the Anti-Brits are burning Boris in effigy, so reappraisals of who goes on the bonfire are the ‘in’ thing this year.
Francis of Rome is one possibility,
in keeping with history as you correctly state.
But after what I’ve been reading about Theresa May’s “secret” sell-out to Brussels, keeping us in the Euro-Customs Union, to appease Dublin, there’s only one effigy we should be burning.
That’s the traitor at Number Ten Downing Street.

Some ‘secret,’ if all the newspapers know about it.

Yes, the Pope is a dope, and a danger.
Nevertheless, the top name on every British patriot’s list for burning in effigy on top of every bonfire must be the arch-traitor, Theresa May.

You might not have noticed but here in the town of Battle, on a chilly Sussex Saturday, they had an early bonfire attended by thousands, at which the guy set on fire was not The traditional Guy Fawkes and not the Pope either.
Last weekend that small town set us an example well worth following, an effigy of Theresa May burning brightly and then, I am reliably informed, exploding, to the loud cheers of the crowd!

I read about that MAY-burning and was delighted.
She will go down in history as the worst ever Prime Minister.

Nothing to disagree with in any of the comments on this, but burning her in effigy is just an evening’s fun.
We have to force her out before she does her deal with Brussels.
