I can think of many people much more deserving of such an act than Trump, pointless as it is. Maybe we should leave the burning of effigies and the like - together with the implied threats - to the likes of ISIS and their supporters as that kind of moronic act is much more up their street and I see no reason for the West to lower themselves to their level.

Nobody is planning on parading ISIS around our country as an ally, arm in arm with our nations leaders.
I mean, yes ISIS is worse than Trump. You are missing the point though.

I nominate John Venables - but don't bother with any effigy, just burn the real thing.

Or if we are strictly talking 'Political Figures only, how about Dianne Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn?

Though when I recall that it is 30 years that this dangerous, racist buffoon has been in politics and that now she has a top position in the Shadow Cabinet, I'm afraid that the 'jOKE' is firmly upon us Kaz.

Get of your high horse about the West, Brillo. No need to bring ISIS into it.
Burning effigies is an old British tradition. The only innovation I suggested was time and place.

A gigantic effigy of the disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein will be burned at a Bonfire Night celebration in Kent this weekend. The Edenbridge Bonfire Society, which chooses a celebrity Guy to go alongside the traditional effigy of failed plotter Guy Fawkes every year

A 30-ft effigy of former apprentice star Katie Hopkins was burned at Edenbridge Bonfire celebrations last Saturday. Festival organsisers described her as an “easy choice” due to her “silly remarks” this year. Katie joins a group that includes Bill Clinton, Osama Bin Laden and Barack Obama, all of whom have had effigies burned as part of traditional bonfire celebrations in Kent and Sussex.

And you support that! I find that total hypocricy of people taking the moral high ground one minute then acting like bullies and dictators the next. Total hypocrites.

Burning effigies is a pretty aggressive, violent and primitive act and hardly appropriate for a gobby tv printer/columnist and sexual pest/rapist of a film producer. As I said there are far worse offenders we could be protesting about, especially in such a infantile way - it smacks of pack-mentality and revenge - the opposite of what such people preach. A good case of do as I say - not what I do!

But you're calling it childish when it's against trump, and you laughed and added to the hate-wagon when Kirk suggested doing it to Abbot? Picking both sides and neither sides of the fence at the same time here. It's very odd.

Hyperthetically joking about it and actually doing it are hardly the same!

Yeh. Especially when it's to agree with someone we're friendly with, and to belittle someone we don't talk to much in the same breath

Choor, all that negative tibb cliquey stuff went away not so long back. Only lord knows why it's come back recently
