funfair

Just three weeks ago, in a town known for its flower shows, amusement arcades and funfair, what should have been a joyful start to the school holidays turned into unspeakable tragedy.

The M40 southbound in Buckinghamshire has been closed after a funfair lorry ended up on its side, causing miles of queues.

Organisers UniqueAssembly have also promised live street theatre, drummers, pipers, vintage funfair rides and a carnival atmosphere in the city centre leading up to the bells.

Dud city building projects in the desert, the expulsion of homeless people to tent cities, the pardon of fascist insurrectionaries and a year-long funfair… it's like a politics designed around video-game fantasies.

About 6,000 tickets were snapped up for a coronation shindig complete with a huge television screen broadcasting the ceremony, funfair rides and bands playing Jewish, South American and gospel music, Anand said.
