How can the governement allow shops to sell fireworks to the general public???? It is beyond me it really is,,, they are as dangerous as a knife or a gun and yet we can just go buy them in a shop without any requirements.

That's a bit extreme, kaz. They're as dangerous as a box of matches. Why pick on knives or guns? They're as dangerous as a gallon can of petrol. They're as dangerous as a polyurethane foam sofa with a burning fag end dropped down the back. They're as dangerous as a swimming pool in your back yard.

And as far as "we can just go buy them in a shop without any requirements" goes, "it is illegal to sell adult fireworks to anyone under the age of eighteen" (regulations 2004), it is also "an offence for the under 18s to possess fireworks in a public place", " to cause any unnecessary suffering to any domestic or captive animals" and " to throw or set off fireworks in any highway, street, thoroughfare or public place". We can't just go buy them in a shop without any requirements.

Spot !!!!!!!! for pity's sake, and everybody else's just wind your neck in !
Don't you realise that these yob idiots can't damn well read, and even if they could, would they take any notice of any regulations????? They just don't care !!!!!!

Fireworks are too dangerous to sell in shops. They should be banned except on licence to specialised displays. End of.

Put your postcode in and write to your MP about it, you might get the law changed.

Don't tell I, tell 'ee. All I'm doing is correcting a misconception that "we can just go buy them in a shop without any requirements".
