Fire Brigades tend to take them down now during the week of Guy Fawkes.

Anyone got the link off the UVF surfer falling off it last year, probably waving to the picture of Gerry Adam’s as he passed and hit the deck.

Knuckle dragging shaved monkeys.

It'd be nice if they could move into at least the 18th century.

As a “wee guy” I’d imagine that would be of some relief that they’re now being taken down

I’m presuming you meant promote but nah, he’s a UVF surfer who knew the risks.

Personally I’d rather he was pushed.

But hey ho silver lining.

Historically bonfire groups could to apply for grants of up to £12k... But in doing so had to adhere to set preconditions on health and safety/pollutants.

But given the current economic climate grants have been significantly reduced. So rather than applying for a grant many bonfire groups have gone it alone, which meant they could pretty much do what they liked.

Many of the bonfires were constructed using wooden pallets and debris/waste that give off toxic fumes.

I assume the fires are related to some 12 July thing then?

No time for the NI and Glasgow nonsense on both sides but some of my best friends are orange bastirts - doing my bit to eliminate the disease.
