Get the done you like a kipper mug.Done up/stiched up like a kipper, surely takes it's meaning from the term red herring, which means to mislead or distract from an important issue, in a trickster style.
A Red Herring, in the literal sense, is a particularly strong smelling fish called a Kipper that has turned a red colour following the smoking process traditionally used to preserve it.
Therefore, to be done or stiched up like a kipper, clearly means to be duped or tricked by false information that was there for all to see, (in hindsight).

For example: when someone purchases an item they believe to be far superior to what it turns out to be, based on the persuasion and false information by the seller.
He was done up like a kipper when he bought that car. Meaning the car was a pile of s*** and he was tricked when he payed top dollar for it.

Kid In Parent’s Pocket Eroding Retirement Savings
Or Kipper for referring to 1 person
Kippers are in their mid to late 20’s still living at home with their parents with no job. It doesn’t matter if they want to go to college/school they are still sucking the financial tit of their parents for (food, phone, car insurance/repairs) so if they’re unemployed in their 20’s they are a KIPPER.
A group of them are KIPPER’S.
