England likes to blow up Sarah Palin's image

The town of Battle, England demonstrated a traditional event where they blow up a likeness of a political character. In this case, the term "blow up" is used quite literally meaning to explode.

The people of Battle, England created an effigy of Governor Sarah Palin holding a machine gun with a slogan at the base saying "too hot to handle." After this effigy was created the people blew it up with fireworks and other explosives.
