DAILY MAIL: A row has broken out over a carnival parade after a group's act has been deemed "disgusting and offensive" to Muslims.
The procession included a 17-strong group of men and women called "The Page Three Beauties from the Ramalama Ding Dong Times".
They dressed in Muslim style burkas and carried a banner saying "Join the Kernow Mosk Dreckly, become a Muslim".
And individual members also held up placards which read names like Miss Poppadomistan, Miss Sleptwithjudgeistan, Miss Hairyarmpitsrbad, Miss Slackistan, Miss Leatherselfgoabad and Miss Reallyamanistan.
As they walked the parade route through St Columb Minor, north Cornwall, they knelt down in mock prayer, using fake compasses to try to find the correct direction to pray to Mecca.
The carnival judging panel - including the mayor of Restormel council Pat Harvey and three other local councillors - shortlisted the group to win the cup for the best entry. Miss Sleptwithjudgeistan: row as village stages mock Muslim parade with burkha-clad 'page three girls' (more)
