Default Northern Ireland : Migrants on Fire "bonfire with effigy"




Before the Fire




[A sign saying 'Stop the boats' was also attached
to the pyre in Moygashel,
on the outskirts of Dungannon
in Co Tyrone in Northern Ireland]


[The Moygashel bonfire is part
of the wider Eleventh Night celebrations
in Northern Ireland, which take place on
the night of July 11 each year.

These bonfires are rooted in Protestant
unionist and loyalist tradition and serve
as a lead-up to The Twelfth on July 12,
a public holiday marking the
key historical Battle of the Boyne.

This happened when Protestant King William
of Orange defeated Catholic King James II,
securing a Protestant line of succession
to the British Crown.

An Irish tricolour flag was also placed on the
bonfire, which is among about
300 which be burned across Thursday and Friday
night in the region.

Sinn Fein's Assembly member for
Fermanagh and South Tyrone,
Colm Gildernew, has been among those
responding,
branding the display 'vile' and 'deplorable'.]

I remember a bonfire night when I was a teenager we burned an effigy of David Campese when the England rugby team got particularly badly mullahed by Australia... There's a long history of effigy burning.

It made the news and got people talking about the fact people want an end to the boats. They weren't people in that boat, the were mannequins, I'm not sure some people understand that....

I admire the attention to detail, they're not just generic figures, they're all dressed and each is individualised!

There are too many women on it to be realistic, though.

Yes it us a little male heavy isn't it, when their women must still be suffering in the war -torn countries from which they are supposedly escaping.

Burning effigies of migrants in life jackets? That’s not art — it’s racist porn for people who get off on cruelty.

Interesting, I swear I hear time and time again people were okay with refugees, and it was the economic migrants that was the problem.

I think it's probably more of a Freudian slip.
