because it's anti-Catholic and encourages yobbos to go around begging for money and lighting fires.

To to mention the fact that people, even children are having FUN. Which should of course be banned.

Ban mince pies as well. Mince pies are cunts.

It is ducking, yes. As evidenced by and a witch weighing the same as a duck or something.

We had a bonfire party here in Sweden and invited all our neighbours, who promptly asked us what it's all about. I was like 'erm, well, this bloke got caught trying to kill the king who, by all accounts was a bit of a bastard. So he was tortured and killed and then a law came in forcing the populace to light fires to celebrate the fact that the king survived. Even though everyone hated him. But they quite liked the bonfires. So now we still do it because change takes time and it's only been 400 years.'

Are you having a laugh? Last time they banned mince pies we had civil war. Literally. That's why the monarchy was restored, cos Cromwell banned mince pies.

AnaisHellWitch · 22/10/2013 21:45

Are we banning Christmas as well? Whoever started all that shit should be nailed to a tree! Same goes for the bastard who invented Easter.

ScabbyOozingCarbuncle · 22/10/2013 21:46

Didnt Jesus invent easter? Hmm

IHatePingu · 22/10/2013 21:46

We always go to the display at the Catholic school near us. Confused

IHatePingu · 22/10/2013 21:48

...No chance Cromwell, victory will be mine,
You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine.

Gah, anybody else singing the Horrible Histories song now?

AnaisHellWitch · 22/10/2013 21:54

sweetkitty · 22/10/2013 21:58

Fireworks are so expensive, I always wonder how the local ned population can afford to launch 4 million of the buggers in the 2 weeks before and after Bonfire Night.

AnaisHellWitch · 22/10/2013 21:59

I didn't Blush will look it up!

WestieMamma · 22/10/2013 21:59
