Live with it.
I wouldn't call it the same old boring rhetoric.....more like genuine concern and yes we do have it every year because it happens every year.

When the government see sense and ban the sale of fireworks to the general public we won't have these concerns.

When I was young my dad bought a box of standard fireworks on Nov 5th and we set them off that evening in the back yard. They were not bangers, they were more about the colours than the bangs....now I do the same with my children although too many people do not use them in this way.

There are some very irresponsible people out there who mis-use fireworks and serious incidents are happening every year. In my opinion it is about time they were stopped.

When some idiot shoves one through your letterbox and your flat sets on fire you may change your mind.
