By the way Parliament is to debate on banning the public sale of fireworks. If there's any of them left by the end of today! (seriously good news though)

It's good fun. Most people know how to use them properly. They only sell them one week a year.
They shouldn't be banned. Don't ban stuff because some people misuse them. Just make sure that people that misuse them will be prosecuted or fined.

The key difference is that alcohol is lovely. So so lovely. The last person who said that to me was a hobo begging on the street. First time I visited San Fran I walked past a guy on the street with a sign saying 'need money for beer'. I gave him 10 dollars because I totally related.

I gave him 10 dollars because I totally related. If the sign had said `need money for heroin`, would you have given him money then? Most of the homeless on the street have some form of addiction (I reckon).
I have given money to kids with a guy, so that they can buy some fireworks and burn an effigy of a Catholic.

If I was homeless and living in the street I'd probably want heroin as well. Cider can only do so much.

The curious thing about where I live is that it must be one of the most Catholic places in Britain, but also the most old-school enthusiastic about bonfires and Guys. We counted 30-plus bonfires on the council estate nearby last year, and few of the saplings planted over the decades have made it past November. The council removed the biggest but the kids must have kept sofas and mattresses in reserve because it was back by November 5th.

People nearby were still setting fireworks off last night. I am really starting to lose patience now!

Watching YouTube earlier it occurred to me that if we ban fireworks then there'll be no more videos of idiots looking horrified when they drop a firework into their toilet and then find out why that's a terrible idea. (And many of them do it in the evening, which makes it even more of a terrible idea.)
