This year: burn the rich !!

One of 100s of giant "Fallas" burnt last night as part of the annual festival in Valencia. Each neighbourhood spends the year making its own gruesome design, which (from what I gathered) is supposed to symbolise a cathartic burning of what's wrong with the world and society. Many, like this one, finished up more or less as 10 metre high three-dimensional political cartoons. As well as these aritstocrats; the Real Madrid football team, Spanish television companies, and the Prime Minister (driving a sleigh of unemployment!), are just out of shot.
