I know that many parents are not so neglectful to spend money on fireworks when food is what is needed.
But I feel that this is the kind of actions of the feckless....let’s buy the kids some bangers, then they won’t bother if there is nowt in the cupboard.
Yes contentious....but does it have a ring of truth?
When you can see these feckless folk on TV....the starving kids look anything but undernourished....they have phone that look like a Granny Smith product...and the parent is pierced and tattooed ( yes the tats might have been done during a more financially prosperous time)...and yes I am being judgemental.
I am allowed to be because I know all about childhood poverty.

Fireworks are expensive.
I do not mind Bonfire night.....and it comes as a bit of fun after a time that has been short on fun and long on misery.
But when fireworks are being let off at 11pm and later, it is obvious that these people letting them off have no respect for others....and maybe they are unsupervised teens....
