SHAMED movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was burnt at the stake tonight as Britain began celebrating bonfire weekend.

Tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un also found himself up in smoke along with motormouth US President Donald Trump as thousands of events lit up the chilly night.

The weekend celebrations mark the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by Guy Fawkes and co to overthrow the King of England by blowing up Parliament.

And to commemorate it Brits light bonfires and burn "Guys".

These are usually Guy Fawkes himself, but can also take the form of whoever is drawing fire in the public spotlight.

The most spectacular example of this unfolded in the small, picturesque town of Lewes in East Sussex which held Britain’s largest festival.

The event is celebrated with extra zeal because it commemorates the memory of seventeen Protestant martyrs from the town who were burned at the stake by Catholic Queen Mary I.

It saw thousands gathering with flaming torches, marching through the street and burning effigies.

These included Prime Minister Theresa May and a gigantic rocket with a naked Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump strapped on.

Elsewhere a huge effigy of film producer Harvey Weinstein was burned during a fireworks display at Edenbridge Bonfire Night.

The underfire producer is depicted naked in a dressing gown clutching a Oscar statuette while holding a clipboard with “final cut” chalked on the side.

This year crowds of revellers braved bad weather which had earlier seen severe downpour.

When the rain clouds parted a chilly evening followed.

Notice that he is wearing the single, thin band of a "Snotty" on his jacket sleeve.

Not sure I understand the Weinstein thing. The "casting couch" has been a real thing in hollywood since the silent movies started. Why is it such a big deal now and why just the one guy? Also these women were not forced into anything, they were presented an option of furthering their career and making millions of dollars in exchange for sexual favors etc or moving back to Nebraska to be a waitress. So long as they have an option to say no it isn't rape or assault or abuse, it's the woman making a decision that money and fame is more important than sex.
