David Cameron Holding A Pig’s Head Effigy To Be Burned For Bonfire Night

A huge effigy of David Cameron holding a pig’s head is set to be set alight tonight - all in the name of Bonfire Night.

The Prime Minister was at the centre of a bizarre rumour involving a pig from his days as a student when it was published in a book last month.

Now residents in Lewes, Sussex, are being treated to the sight of a practically naked David Cameron sitting down on a golden throne and holding a decapitated pig’s head on his lap.

There is also a fox climbing up his leg - presumably a reference to fox hunting.

The giant effigy has been pictured making it’s way to the Guy Fawkes celebrations tonight, where it will be torched before the traditional November 5 fireworks are let off.

Lewes is no stranger to burning effigies of politicians - last year they burnt a model of former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond to crisp.

And tonight the PM will have a partner to be burned with - an effigy of ex-Fifa president Sepp Blatter has also been seen in town, sticking his finger up to all he passes, natch.
