The US election

Americans are voting as I write this.  

Coincidentally this is the day in the UK where we traditionally burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.  The bonfire is usually accompanied by fireworks.

In America, folk who try to overturn an election and march on the Capitol, get invited to stand at the next election. In the UK, Guy Fawkes was hung.

So it looks like there will be fireworks in the UK tonight and the USA over the next few days.

I prefer ours.

Update. Well Trump got in. I guess that spared America the inevitable fireworks if he had lost.
