Might as well. Politics brings out the ugly in just about anyone these days.

Admittedly, that's a pretty terrible looking... doll? Looks like a 3d painting.

It barely even looks 3D, it just looks like a huge cardboard cutout.

Still, if it gives them pleasure...

Yeah, I thought it was 2D at first, until I realized there's something installed behind the hand and the face is "floating"... but you're right. It looks crappy. Kill it with fire I guess.

it's a tradition, going back decades if not longer
in some places they always burn a current hate figure
nothing to do with the deterioration in public discourse brought by alt right

I have to say though, the touch on the cake where it says "FU" instead of EU is pretty witty

Burning the guy was always political. Don't see why this should offend. Seems a little childish, but whatever floats their boat.

I've just bought a couple of bags of marshmallows for Saturday night and they're as big as my fist. I wonder if they will all survive intact all the way to Saturday.

When I think effigies, I usually think scarecrow looking things. They look more foreboding imo. But my memory may not be on trend. Admittedly, I only commented because of the artistic aspect... it looks too silly to be damning. It's kind of cute... in an ugly way.

thank you, don't think i saw your post att
my money is on him being a dick rather than anti-Semite, but I do understand why Ch5 would shy away from all this, especially as the US synagogue killings happened at the same time and their disinterest in the programme's future
