And Valmai Goodyear (big cheese in the Bonfire Society scene in Lewes, Sussex) reports on Facebook that this year six of the seven societies set fire to a Trump this year, and one of them burnt a Trump for the second year running. Both are unprecedented. I think the one that didn't burn a Trump burnt a Harvey Weinstein instead - surely the UK has enough villains of its own? Or at least let Europe into the fun and burn Rajoy? I didn't go to any bonfires this year, but did see a Trump mask in Edinburgh city centre on Halloween.
