oh dear: Guy Fawkes dropped for bonfire night

[Sockpuppet]

Officials said: We did Guy fawkes last year" and insisted it was their tradition to have a different theme each year. In a statement, a spokesman said: "And this differentiates our celebrations from other boroughs and our events are proving to be extremely popular.

Ok...how can you have a tradition to have a different theme each year? Assuming that last year was the first year of this and this is the second then...thats hardly a tradition.

Also as last guy fawkes night was the first one and it "proved quite popular" then why not errrr run another one?

I believe that they will be having Guy Fawkes night on 7/11/2007 to make the balance correct.

Not only Guy Fawkes is white, which makes the whole thing racist, but he also is a guy, not girl - sexist pig as well!!!

HTH

Apparently, they will be reverting to the firework theme next year, and they will celebrate the jihadist martyrs of 9/11 in an action-packed, gunpowder extravaganza !

There will be rides where you can fly your own 747 in to the target of your choice in a BAE Flight Simulator, plus various stalls selling toffee apples coloured to look like hand grenades, jihad t-shirts and merchandise, and the very latest burqa fashions from Milan (The City, not the Board's Bitch).

It's only fair, innit ?

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.



Just not in Tower Hamlets.

at least it's not a muslim story (or at least I think not). The irony would not be lost on me at least if there was a muslim theme to celebrate blowing up the houses of parliament!!

You mean like throwing a suicide bomber onto a bonfire and such like?...cool!

Chuck East London's population on a bonfire in the middle of Stratford. That'd solve immigration problems forever.

I presume you mean the immigrant population not those loveable cheeky cockney types.

Those living in Tower Hamlets will love the idea; Stratford is in the neighbouring borough of Newham so cleaning up the mess afterwards would be down to them.

Perhaps someone should blow up the Tower at Hamlets
