Fireworks should be banned from public use, the pros do not outweigh the cons.
----------
Pros
Pretty
Cons
Dangerous Explosives that have time and time again caused serious injuries because they're in the hands of the public (and the majority, lets face it, are idiots)
Distressing for animals, theres even been many accounts of animals being frightened to literal death as a result of fireworks.
All too often in the hands of anti-social louts who use them as weapons or to harass people.
----------
Please feel free to add more.
Fireworks could be licensed and strictly controlled, so that they could still be used for large events by professionals (like they tend to do, for stadium openings, olympic openings and closings, when someone wins Big Brother :P)
Guy Fawkes celebrations for those who cannot afford to hire a professional with a fireworks license can still have a bonfire with permission and/or supervision of the local authorities/fire department, so that people can still gather together and burn an effigy or whatever.
Sorry for the rant, im just fed up of seeing fireworks for sale in public shops, which are just as easily acquired by youths as alcohol and cigarettes, should really be ranting to my local MP or something, but i doubt it'd make any difference.
i totally agree. i'm fed up of still hearing fireworks at 1am in the morning and in the middle of december.
lol, yea people are trying to sleep here.
I dont mind them at new years :p
you know there is only a limited period of time that people can buy then 'legally'
why not just make that 1 day law to buy them
But when where would places like Disney Land get all the fireworks from?
I remember when i was little there was fireworks displays like everyday.
Ipswich Firework Show was complete ****.
Some spotty teens jumping around on the stage, murdering classic Queen tunes. . Disgraceful :(
(Cr@p is a naughty word, Oh My . . .)
Yeah fireworks to music needs BANNING! It makes me so angry lol.
Even worse when they try and sync the bangs to the music arghhhh
Was a pathetic attempt. Last year was worse, some awful James Bond theme.
Where some talentless scab, pretended to fight with some bad guys then blow up a car, releasing the fireworks.
£8 for that, last's about 15 minutes.

OH NO! that sounds shocking! I would grimace watching that, in fact I would probably want my money back and write to the local council to BAN it! :O

They get professional display companies who aren't subject to the law

dam the health and safety
Health and Safety at Ipswich Firework Show > No Sparklers.
Smoking allowed, and for lit buds to be chucked on the floor around kids. But no a fricking Sparkler.
PC gone mad.
Health and Safety ruin everything
they do in some things, but its always good to have them IE when they go inspect restaurants to make sure its all clean and no mice or rats etc..
