London mayor "Red Ken" Livingstone is giving a party:
Ken Livingstone is planning a "massive festival" across London to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution.The event, to be staged in 2009, will involve street parties, sports venues and some of London's leading museums as well as the closure of Trafalgar Square.
They should hold mock summary executions. What a thrill for the tourists that would be.
UPDATE:
The readers of Babalu blog have another party in mind, and I believe it involves folk dancing on the grave of a bearded dictator.
The most fun will be the mock raids of all the houses in London to make sure there aren't any nonapproved books to be found.
