Given the numerous warnings over climate change, the health hazards of gases from car exhausts etc..
Is the setting fire to huge amounts of flammable material really in keeping with today.
Should it now be banned ? |

We do need to look to re-purpose our spare materials in the most beneficial ways for our planet. Spare wood, for example, could help to provide other sources of materials or energy that have a greater benefit.
With the UK's pollution levels killing 50,000 people - or more - each year, we absolutely have to make sure that this is reduced as a matter of urgency.
Fireworks danger is a problem too, with a need long overdue to fireworks only being used in managed events - though this is separate from the ecological damage that's being caused |

"It's hard to find a bonfire anyway nowadays it's mostly just fireworks display etc"
It’s health and safety gone mad I tell ya!!!
(Actually I think the insurance costs for big organised displays have gone up hence most local authorities / private organised displays not having one in recent years)  |

"Why don't we also ban people from having kids. Over population is a far bigger threat to the world than a few bonfires "
What would happen to the child if someone broke that ban? |

They'd get carted round the doors for 'penny for the guy' then placed at the top of the bonfire  |

"No!
Although let's not get to much in the spirit of things and start persecuting Catholics  "
I used to have a Catholic friend who saw Bonfire Night as a massive demonstration of anti Catholic feeling. She took it VERY personally.
And no, it shouldn’t be banned, killjoys! |

I do slightly wince at seeing the mountain of pallets go up at our local ish one. (Have about 4 to choose from within about 5 miles all with a proper fire) I think of what I could get made from it all. But then its Fire, lovely hot burning fire and then I don't mind again. |

Then don't go over to Belfast on July 12th. You'd see half the world's supplies of wooden pallets go up in one night. |

Oh god. All that lovely wood that just wanted to be a coffee table and not a pallet  |
