Roger Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 AN effigy of Herefordshire residents’ most hated celebrity - or dictator - is to be burnt at the stake at a fireworks display this weekend. HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Lloyd Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 That's really distasteful and not something for children - it's horrible and should not be allowed. They call that fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Lloyd Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't think I have ever really liked the Guy Fawkes bit of Bonfire Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkester Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I agree with Denise, I think it is a really rather distasteful idea. So, we vote on somebody we don't really like then celebrate the hatred of them by throwing an effigy of them on a fire and cheer along as we watch them burn!? That's lovely and civilised isn't it? Remind me, what century are we in again? But it's okay, Luke Conod says it's all a bit of light-hearted fun. Would he be saying that if he was "the chosen one?"

Pete.g Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Ragwert I hate to correct you as a very senior forum contributor, but surely she has so much plastic that she would melt prior to burning ! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Lloyd Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thankfully they have come to their senses posted on Facebook Hereford Table We really appreciate the comments that people have made on social media and the Hereford Times website, about our effigy pole.At no point did we wish to offend anyone, that was never the intention; all we wished to do was raise the profile and encourage people to come to our Fireworks display at the race course this Saturday evening, allowing us to raise funds to distribute to local charities and good causes.We have listened to people's comments and we greatly appreciate the time they have taken to contact us and let us know their feelings."We are therefore NOT going ahead with the competition," commented Luke Conod."I would like to thank people again for their comments and for taking the time to contact us and hope to see lots of people at the race course this Saturday, helping us raise funds for our local charities and good causes and having a great time.Over the last 12 months thanks to the help of people in Herefordshire we were able to help local charities and good causes to the tune of over £30,000," Luke continued to say.
