I guess burning a traitor in effigy is a classic part of British culture, but there's something weirdly creepy about the Express guy's cheery-faced cartoon characters and their "the opposition are traitors, execute them!" comic. Like it's so easy to imagine him drawing basically the same cutesy styled cartoon for a book-burning.

I'm not sure that's supposed to be an effigy...

Anyone know where the 888,246 number comes from? A figure I've seen elsewhere is 956,703 so I'm wondering where the disparity has come in.

Edit: It's apparently based on the number of identified graves and names on memorials, which presumably allows for some leeway.

You only need to know three features on a on a globe. England, a small potato off of England (England owns this I think), and loving Euro-foreigns stealing are jobs while claiming benefits.

If you turn the globe over you get Even Worse Foreigns (non-white (Charlie who drives the bus is okay though so I'm not racist)) and Plucky Little Aussies who have the right idea by putting them all in camps. Stop the boats.
