I think it's all well and good flailing your arms and moaning but maybe those that wish action to be taken should think logically about the issue. Do you want fireworks banned?
How about just cat 3 fireworks? Surely you want ur little kiddies to be able to play with sparklers? If it's an noise issue why not petition for a noise restriction?
A petition without identification is worthless. If it just clicks up visitors no wonder it attains a high total. Have to say I didn't notice as I was looking for the petition text, that so had to check !
@naomi......I doubt that your name or mine has been added to the petition which, if you click what is recorded underneath the total of 278,315 ("Ban fireworks for sale to the public") another page is opened to say that the Petition has been closed.
Had it been possible I would have signed.
Large numbers of Police all over the UK were out last night controlling Yobs and a number pets are reported as having died of fright. Also a horse was seriously injured when it panicked and got entangled in a fence. etc,etc.
OG as I have said before, if firework use was still the same as when you and I were children then there would be no need, or pressure for action. Sadly times have changed and we can't go back.
