CLASS WAR BONFIRE NIGHT – BURN THATCHER ON LONDON
FIELDS

Class War are hosting a bonfire night at London Fields
on Saturday, 5 November. Four hundred years after the
Gunpowder Plot, we are modernising the guys –
Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair will be burned in
effigy. People are encouraged to bring along their own
effigies – starting with Hackney’s own Jules Pipe,
Diane Abbott and Meg Hillier. It’s nice to know
they’re good for something!

Hackney Council aren’t holding a firework display this
year, so Class War are willing to step into the gap.
Bring friends, fireworks, firewood, and a couple of
bottles – and effigies – to London Fields, 7 for
7.30pm, Saturday 5 November.

NOTES FOR EDITORS:

2) This is a one of a series of events which will
culminate in a party in Trafalgar Square at 6pm on the
Saturday after Thatcher dies.
