I was at Lewes bonfire last night and was surpised to see that one of the effigies was Wiggins along with two others. Normally, the effigies are popular hate figures (Michael Gove was another effigy being burnt last night), so I was surprised to see Wiggins. Can anyone identify the other characters and the story? It is meant to be obvious!

All i'm seeing is Brad Wiggins sodomising Kryten from Red Dwarf, while my ex girlfriend does the YMCA behind them.

The female one could be Jodie Marsh possibly? Probably wrong though...0

Apparently it was a typo in an email sent between the organisers, they were supposed to be blaming Wiggle0

I thought it was South Street Bonfire Society, but lady in red and white in front is definitely Waterloo.
Some folk on twitter have said it is Geri Halliwell and Wiggins stamping on Pier Morgan riding on an Olympic union flag taxi. Makes no sense to me!0 -
Definitely JFK at the front.0

That's the parade where they carry anti-Papist burning crosses through the streets.
They're a bit weird, that lot.0 -

Good call, although I struggle with the connection.0 -

Le Commentateur - part of it supposedly commemorates seventeen Protestant martyrs from the town burnt at the stake by Catholics. The event has been going on for a few years...0

They don't just burn any old catholic - that would be a bit weird.0 -

No, it would be Glaswegian.0 -
Well I think the strawberry blonde is Arial from the Little Mermaid if that helps?
What? Nope?
But I am pleased that I have managed to locate Wally and the Ku Klux Klan.Correlation is not causation.0 -

He could always claim to be an Australian rugby fan, I s'pose.

They are dressed as smugglers (that's what the stripey jumpers are about), so a lot of people paint their faces as well. I'm not sure whether it represents camouflage, dirt from crawling through tunnels or gunpowder, but that's what people think smugglers looked like.
Generally, there is quite an array of fancy dress going on, and I recommend the evening if anyone is in the neck of the woods.0 -

Other two characters are Victoria and David Beckham I think? I fully understand why that pair would be cremated, but as for Wiggo?0 -
