The Commission for Racial Equality has called for the prosecution of those responsible for burning effegies of gypsies at a village bonfire party.
Patricia Knight, who was at the bonfire with her seven-year-old daughter, said:A caravan was wheeled down the street which portrayed women and children inside, with 'pikey' written on the back and the image of a scantily-clad woman standing in the door.
I could see other people looking shocked and I could hear shouts of 'racists' directed at the bonfire society and 'shame'.
The bonfire society insist they were misunderstood and were merely highlighting the plight of some travellers who had been evicted from a nearby site recently. Gypsy effigies burnt on bonfire - BBC News, 28th October 2003.
