Used to look forward to the Primrose Hill Fireworks a few years back, the largest gathering in North London. But the local council shut it down using the excuse of health and safety. Exactly who was sitting on that council? I think we all know. The same kind of people that banned taxis and white vans from flying our flags during the world cup football event.

The problem is that GFN is already diluted into near meaningless. You get fireworks all the time for about 10 days from 31 Oct, albeit with a peak on Nov 5. You also have fireworks on and off for about two months, with every Tom, Dick and Harry letting them off whenever they feel like it, plus the foreign celebrations like Diwali. Two month of fireworks is an absolute pain, it should be restricted by law to a couple of dates, including 5 Nov and only those dates.
Rubbish the reason Guy Fawkes night is dying out is because of the competition with Diwali. My neighbourhood has firework’s going off left right and centre. Halloween is also dying out I had one child knock my door and I had no sweeties so I nipped out and got two boxes of celebrations. Not one kid came round after that. Today I went on the Pro Palestine anti genocide March and handed them out there. Went down like a house on fire
Guy Fawkes night also has a religious element, and some consider the loss of religious knowledge in recent years to that. Halloween is a recent American import, wasn't celebrated at all befire the 1980s.
@@paulgodden4974 I know but Guy Fawkes was about blowing up Parliment and Guy Fawkes and his mates were hung disemboweled and cut into quarters, where as Diwali celebrates the power of light over darkness. I much prefer Diwali, Halloween is a corruption of the Catholic celebration whereby we remember our deceased family members, know we get kids to celebrate horror movies. The Hindus have a much better festival in my opinion
I am pissed off with the way we are losing our history, traditions, and identity. Make no mistake, we are slowly being erased from our own country. We must fight for what we believe in and put the great back in Britain, and get our country back.
I am a Roman Catholic. I was brought up in a Catholic family, went to a Catholic school and had a bonfire and a Guy on Bonfire Night during my childhood. I have never heard any Catholic complain about Gut Fawkes Night.
Ditto. We were taught at school in the 60s it was an anti Catholic celebration. Didn't stop us making bonfires. Besides we Celts were having Bonfires on November 1st Centuries before the Proddys usurped it and called it Guy Fawlks. Raise a drink to good old Guy. 🍺
Diwali is celebrated for days and days around the same time as Guy Fawkes night. No doubt that when the ban is implemented, we will still be accused of defying the ban even though it will be people celebrating Diwali.
Just another way of stopping the indigenous from celebrating our cultural heritage and enjoying ourselves. The pubs will probably one day go the same way!
I think of this period as similar to the Puritan era when Cromwell was the Lord Protector - they banned dancing, theatres, playing football on Sunday and the worst - they banned celebrating Christmas - no presents, no Christmas dinner. People were overjoyed when the monarchy was restored and they were allowed to have fun again. We WILL clear these woke lunatics and their preposterous ideas out eventually!

You might compare it to the notion of switching out the Conservatives with Labour. Us, the people, still end up as the losers.
@sarahblunt1098 He wanted religious freedom for Roman Catholics. Perhaps if he had read his bible instead of letting priests present their version he would have discovered that the truth will set you free, and opted for peace instead of explosives.
You are still - so far - not outlawed from making our own fireworks *per se* - although no doubt certain legislation used for going after people like Guy Fawkes (but with more peculiar names) will be used to suppress such things!
I joined a discussion on banning fireworks. I mentioned Diwali and other religions/cults that used fireworks and was promptly banned. Seems that it was only the British traditions that were to be banned.
Going to choose fireworks with my lovely Dad was one of the highlights of the year for me. He would then make a guy out of old clothes stuffed with newspaper, and a mask, and build a bonfire.
Same here. Dad and I always went to choose the fireworks, always a “big” one to start and end our party. We had a big bonfire in the back garden every year, Mum would make a huge hotpot for everybody, served with pickled red cabbage (home made), she also made Parkin. We never had an accident in all the years we had these parties.
Some of us never condemned him in the first place. Not that I am condoning the usage of vuolence, his reasons for doing away with the govt were weaker then than Catesby et al would see them nowadays.
I can still remember the tv advert Light up the sky with standards fireworks but the way things are going we may have more than just fireworks lighting up the sky.
Greenwich council have quasi scrapped the famous Blackheath bonfire as you say. The haven’t dared officially banning it, just every year the spoilsports think up a new inventive excuse to stop it.
Pretty sure it was Lewisham Council that ran the Blackheath fireworks? Unless it was both doing it in collaboration? either way both councils are scummy any way lol
Im sick of the americanisation of Halloween. Its worse than ever this year. Ghouls all over the place. Lets get back to our own history and culture, its precious.
My Daughter revived Samhain (Sow-wen) two years ago. I'm making a shrine for my ancestors today, (old pictures, their trinkets, and food drink and candles) to celebrate it late tonite.
Andyhulme2274: Halloween is not American; it's the name given to a much older Celtic festival, Samhain, by the Christian church. Samhain was a fire festival that lasted throughout the darkest time of the year. It began at the first full moon AFTER the first frosts of winter, and was a time when the British Celts remembered and honoured their ancestors. Some of these traditions are still with us in the lighting of bonfires (believed to be a "boon" or boost for the dying sun) and Remembrance Sunday. What we associate now with Halloween, dressing up and carving pumpkins, is all based on this much older tradition and really has nothing to do with the Americans, except that they saw an opportunity to commercialise the Eve of All Hallows. You can read more about Samhain if you're interested, online.
Can't agree. Enoch was always relevant. He just wasn't prepared to lie or compromise his beliefs to appease the gutless, self-serving politicians of the time.
Like many things, when we were children we did not know about the political message behind Guy Fawkes night. We just had a good community get together, and an excuse to have fireworks in the garden and eat seasonal food such as baked potatoes (cooked in the bonfire) and toffee apples. I can remember the excitement of the build up to it and the excitement on the night. It was basically just a late autumn festival for us. Why can't children today just enjoy this very English festival without the political background as we did. What is wrong with that?
It amazing (and by that I mean disgusting) how all cultures and traditions in Britain are protected and celebrated, pushed and promoted, except those of the indigenous people.
I do wonder how we all arrived at our advanced age, after all our parents keep cleaning products and washing powder under the sink in unlocked cupboards, we had playgrounds without rubber matting, climbed trees, made dens, walked to school even through the haze of 6th of Nov, and the 300 kids in my catholic primary, looked forward to Guy Fawkes, like every kid and manged not to develop a chip on our shoulders, what weird creatures we must have been. How great that the elites can show us how wrong we were.
Ditto. In the 1960s, we Catholic kids were rather proud of Guy Fawlks, even tho it was supposed to be an anti Catholic Celebration. Mind you I do recall a few children getting hands burnt, and worse. Couple of deaths I recall reading about.
When asked when Britain's national holiday was, I would always give Guy Fawkes Night as the answer: "Remember, remember the 5th of November, / Gunpowder, treason and plot; / For there is no reason / Why gunpowder and treason / Should ever be forgot."
The Four Olds were 'old ideas', 'old culture', 'old customs', and 'old habits'. During the Red August of 1966, shortly after the onset of the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards' campaign to destroy the Four Olds began amid the massacres being carried out in Beijing...
Been telling people for years that the 4 olds are happening here, everyone looks at me dumbfounded, their even more confused when I tell them about the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pots idea of starting everything again from the year 0

There’s ALWAYS funding for pretty much EVERYTHING other than TRUE British History, particularly if it involves anything to do with the INDIGENOUS people of Britain
Though surely the government should approve of the Guy Fawkes night celebrations. They commemorate a group that was dissatisfied with the government getting caught before causing any damage... and then not enjoying their last few days alive very much. However, despite successfully thwarting of the Catholic menace, only 44 years later the political situation had deteriorated anyway... to a point when the country was ungovernable.
The point of Guy Fawkes night is that the disattisfaction isn't suggested, or hinted at. It's completely in your face, exactly as it should be! We were always taught that this is a celebration of Democracy. Some people might celebrate Guy Fawkes failure to bring down Parliament; others might celebrate the fact that he tried.
I am a Catholic and not one bit offended by firework night and I don't know any Catholic that is. There are fireworks all the time here in Peterborough because every time a South Asian Muslim wedding takes place they let the bloody things off.
Ahh yes. In Australia when I was a kid there was Empire Day (or Cracker Night) to celebrate the British Commonwealth. The night was celebrated with burning of bonfires and setting off large amounts of fireworks by locals. Naturally it was banned some years ago after the usual media campaign about safety etc. Now the only fireworks 'allowed' are organised displays by the government as part of New Years Eve. But of course none of this has stopped huge amounts of fireworks set off during Eid celebrations - all illegally of course. Naturally the police have never taken action to stop it despite the usual blustering. And certainly never appear to have charged the suppliers of these fireworks. Don't let them do the same to Britain. Even if you let off only one firework - just to demonstrate contempt for "them" and their censorius ways.
listening to greatest hits radio today every now and then we heard happy diwali, last week end they did a special to celebrate black history month, they must come first it seems
November 5 was my first wedding anniversary (you’d think I’d have recognized a bad omen, but I was very young). …I see no reason why that treason should ever be forgot!
My council is Dudley, this year they announced that the bonfire will not be taking place this year(and every year to come) citing lack of new pallets to burn!! The fireworks are still being set off and it is a brilliant display, they also said the fire disrupts the grassed area although the huge fairground rides and food Van's also RIP the place to bits. Some councillors are quoting the smoke is detrimental to health. As a 69 year old I feel that my youngest grandkids will not experience the once a year event like I did. What I have always thought is fireworks displays are the way to go and just ban the sale to general public because of the lunatics in society where I live be it Diwali, Eid, Palestinian demonstrators, birthdays the list goes on.
We were taught in our Catholic school in the 1960s, that Guy Fawkes night 5th Nov was an anti Catholic celebration. But it did not stop me and my mates celebrating. Collecting wood and old furniture and building a huge bonfire was the highlight of the year. Besides my old man told me Bonfire nite was originally a Celtic festival, celebrated on 1st of Nov. My Clan were/are Celts. We still build bonfires.
The idea is always there. Who knows what might happen in the future if the establishment continues with its persecution of the white indigenous population.
Given that here in West London there are about two weeks of firework for Diwali, presumably these are being curtailed and banned as well…. Ahh thought not!
It's not the fireworks they're afraid of, it's the history behind the day. If Labour or the Tories have their way in 300 years the 7/7 tube attacks will become a national holiday.
Many places now mandate the usage of e-fireworks, which don't use explosives: they have proximity sensors so they wont deploy until people are 7m away. Then they accelerate slowly and produce synthesised son et lumière effects
But I wouldn't like to stop Diwali: it should be as acceptable as Guy Fawkes. It is not a foreign intrusion like islam, rather an interesting cultural addition from a well-integrated section of our community.
It doesn't stop Khan setting of thousands of pounds worth of fireworks on New Years Eve with the significant introduction of the notification thanks to his worthy self.

Every bit of British culture and history is being dismantled slowly but surely, can't anyone else see that 🤬
Oy vey.
Yes I can and it sickens me
You’re breaking the law if you notice or think it.
You are still - so far - not outlawed from making our own fireworks *per se* - although no doubt certain legislation used for going after people like Guy Fawkes (but with more peculiar names) will be used to suppress such things!
Agree totally, schools don't cover our history good or bad. UK education history is dire.
I joined a discussion on banning fireworks.
I mentioned Diwali and other religions/cults that used fireworks and was promptly banned.
Seems that it was only the British traditions that were to be banned.
As a child I regarded bonfire hight as one of the highlights of the year, together with birthday, summer holiday and Christmas
Going to choose fireworks with my lovely Dad was one of the highlights of the year for me. He would then make a guy out of old clothes stuffed with newspaper, and a mask, and build a bonfire.
@@annmorgan5130 My lovely dad was always amused when we would get out the fireworks and admire and caress them in anticipation!
Time to grow up and man up. You are not a child any more so stop fantasising.
Same here. Dad and I always went to choose the fireworks, always a “big” one to start and end our party. We had a big bonfire in the back garden every year, Mum would make a huge hotpot for everybody, served with pickled red cabbage (home made), she also made Parkin. We never had an accident in all the years we had these parties.
Make guy Fawkes great again 🔥we need him more than ever
The Guy Fawkes event makes our leaders uneasy. Rightly so.
Celebrating Guy Fawkes night this year same as we always do
My neighbour has made a GUY dressed as starmer with mask its brilliant ,cant wait to see hlm on bonfire
Alas, only symbolically!
I imagine Keir Starmer masks have been a big seller recently.
@@mariaefelices6543 my neighbour has 2 guys, one dressed up as starmer and one as Maggie thatcher.
Celebrating that he tried or that he failed?
It's not just Guy Fawkes Simon, its the eradication of everything in life that gives the plebs any kind of joy and happiness....
COME BACK GUY FAWKES, ALL IS FORGIVEN!
The last man to enter that building with honourable intentions
Some of us never condemned him in the first place.
Not that I am condoning the usage of vuolence, his reasons for doing away with the govt were weaker then than Catesby et al would see them nowadays.
We need this man badly
We need Guy Fawkes to create 400+ by-elections next week.
YES, HE WAS AT LEAST ONE IMMIGRANT WE WELCOMED
5th November uk celebrate a Great Christian Man. Guy Fawkes very honest man.
I can still remember the tv advert Light up the sky with standards fireworks but the way things are going we may have more than just fireworks lighting up the sky.
The rate that Starmer is going forget Guy Fawkes night, try full-blown uprisings.
All the Guys these days need to either wear a Starmer mask or a Sadiq Khan mask
Or a Mohamhead mask.
The excuse is always "safety"
Except for when the excuse is «СIimаtе Chаngе™» of course.

Im sick of the americanisation of Halloween. Its worse than ever this year. Ghouls all over the place. Lets get back to our own history and culture, its precious.
My Daughter revived Samhain (Sow-wen) two years ago. I'm making a shrine for my ancestors today, (old pictures, their trinkets, and food drink and candles) to celebrate it late tonite.
Halloween is American.
All that plastic rubbish making the CCP more wealthy.
@@andyhulme2274 It's Irish and has been Americanised.
Andyhulme2274: Halloween is not American; it's the name given to a much older Celtic festival, Samhain, by the Christian church. Samhain was a fire festival that lasted throughout the darkest time of the year. It began at the first full moon AFTER the first frosts of winter, and was a time when the British Celts remembered and honoured their ancestors. Some of these traditions are still with us in the lighting of bonfires (believed to be a "boon" or boost for the dying sun) and Remembrance Sunday. What we associate now with Halloween, dressing up and carving pumpkins, is all based on this much older tradition and really has nothing to do with the Americans, except that they saw an opportunity to commercialise the Eve of All Hallows. You can read more about Samhain if you're interested, online.
The saying "where is Guy Fawkes now that we need him?" has never been more apt.
Guy fawkes is quickly becoming relevant, just as Sir Enoch is.
Can't agree. Enoch was always relevant. He just wasn't prepared to lie or compromise his beliefs to appease the gutless, self-serving politicians of the time.
Enoch was right.
I'm glad the popish plot failed!!
Like many things, when we were children we did not know about the political message behind Guy Fawkes night. We just had a good community get together, and an excuse to have fireworks in the garden and eat seasonal food such as baked potatoes (cooked in the bonfire) and toffee apples. I can remember the excitement of the build up to it and the excitement on the night. It was basically just a late autumn festival for us. Why can't children today just enjoy this very English festival without the political background as we did. What is wrong with that?
I am reminded of H.L. Mencken's definition of Puritanism as "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere might be happy".
It amazing (and by that I mean disgusting) how all cultures and traditions in Britain are protected and celebrated, pushed and promoted, except those of the indigenous people.
Guy Fawkes, the only man to enter parliament with honest intentions.
I do wonder how we all arrived at our advanced age, after all our parents keep cleaning products and washing powder under the sink in unlocked cupboards, we had playgrounds without rubber matting, climbed trees, made dens, walked to school even through the haze of 6th of Nov, and the 300 kids in my catholic primary, looked forward to Guy Fawkes, like every kid and manged not to develop a chip on our shoulders, what weird creatures we must have been. How great that the elites can show us how wrong we were.
I hope the elites get smart.they are putting themselves in a bad situation.
Yet here you are having a good cry.
LOL
@@candy-le4nh Would you like to come sit on top of our bonfire this year ?

Ditto. In the 1960s, we Catholic kids were rather proud of Guy Fawlks, even tho it was supposed to be an anti Catholic Celebration. Mind you I do recall a few children getting hands burnt, and worse. Couple of deaths I recall reading about.

When asked when Britain's national holiday was, I would always give Guy Fawkes Night as the answer: "Remember, remember the 5th of November, / Gunpowder, treason and plot; / For there is no reason / Why gunpowder and treason / Should ever be forgot."
The Four Olds were 'old ideas', 'old culture', 'old customs', and 'old habits'. During the Red August of 1966, shortly after the onset of the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards' campaign to destroy the Four Olds began amid the massacres being carried out in Beijing...
Exactly right. When will we wake up!
Been telling people for years that the 4 olds are happening here, everyone looks at me dumbfounded, their even more confused when I tell them about the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pots idea of starting everything again from the year 0
Well said. You're exactly right!

Can't help feeling politicians don't want any references suggesting a dissatisfaction with the government.
Or Guy Fawkes that are effigies of Keir Starmer.
There’s ALWAYS funding for pretty much EVERYTHING other than TRUE British History, particularly if it involves anything to do with the INDIGENOUS people of Britain
Though surely the government should approve of the Guy Fawkes night celebrations. They commemorate a group that was dissatisfied with the government getting caught before causing any damage... and then not enjoying their last few days alive very much.
However, despite successfully thwarting of the Catholic menace, only 44 years later the political situation had deteriorated anyway... to a point when the country was ungovernable.
I can think of a PM and a mayor I would happily exchange for the guy!
The point of Guy Fawkes night is that the disattisfaction isn't suggested, or hinted at. It's completely in your face, exactly as it should be! We were always taught that this is a celebration of Democracy. Some people might celebrate Guy Fawkes failure to bring down Parliament; others might celebrate the fact that he tried.
I am a Catholic and not one bit offended by firework night and I don't know any Catholic that is.
There are fireworks all the time here in Peterborough because every time a South Asian Muslim wedding takes place they let the bloody things off.
What about the loyalist bonfires in Northern Ireland ?
Microphone sounds good Simon 👍
Ahh yes. In Australia when I was a kid there was Empire Day (or Cracker Night) to celebrate the British Commonwealth. The night was celebrated with burning of bonfires and setting off large amounts of fireworks by locals. Naturally it was banned some years ago after the usual media campaign about safety etc. Now the only fireworks 'allowed' are organised displays by the government as part of New Years Eve. But of course none of this has stopped huge amounts of fireworks set off during Eid celebrations - all illegally of course. Naturally the police have never taken action to stop it despite the usual blustering. And certainly never appear to have charged the suppliers of these fireworks. Don't let them do the same to Britain. Even if you let off only one firework - just to demonstrate contempt for "them" and their censorius ways.
Well said.
My hearing isn't too good but I've never had problems listening to History Debunked, must be the eloclution lessons Simon had as a child!
We shall be having a very large bonfire and low noise fireworks in our garden for the family this weekend and we will all thoroughly enjoy ourselves.
Yes and why not. Go for it. Have a happy Guy Fawkes night. ❤🎉😊
@ thank you, and to you too :)
I suspect there won't be any objections to fireworks in association to Diwali, though. Assuming such a thing happens in the UK.
listening to greatest hits radio today every now and then we heard happy diwali, last week end they did a special to celebrate black history month, they must come first it seems
It’s by the Nobel savage that’s why.
@@theprincipalofficer_1Diwali has nothing to do with Africa. But, nice try.
@@alaninsofloPretending that poojeets are not savage.
More concerned with the number of house fires that happen during Diwali. And the length that authorities will go to avoid the association.
November 5 was my first wedding anniversary (you’d think I’d have recognized a bad omen, but I was very young). …I see no reason why that treason should ever be forgot!
My council is Dudley, this year they announced that the bonfire will not be taking place this year(and every year to come) citing lack of new pallets to burn!! The fireworks are still being set off and it is a brilliant display, they also said the fire disrupts the grassed area although the huge fairground rides and food Van's also RIP the place to bits. Some councillors are quoting the smoke is detrimental to health. As a 69 year old I feel that my youngest grandkids will not experience the once a year event like I did. What I have always thought is fireworks displays are the way to go and just ban the sale to general public because of the lunatics in society where I live be it Diwali, Eid, Palestinian demonstrators, birthdays the list goes on.
councils ok with funfairs and food vans the btrds get a cut kerching

We were taught in our Catholic school in the 1960s, that Guy Fawkes night 5th Nov was an anti Catholic celebration. But it did not stop me and my mates celebrating. Collecting wood and old furniture and building a huge bonfire was the highlight of the year. Besides my old man told me Bonfire nite was originally a Celtic festival, celebrated on 1st of Nov. My Clan were/are Celts. We still build bonfires.
I'll give up Bonfire Night if the Notting Hill carnival is scrapped.
Good morning! The sound is always fine.
Good morning! It's just that many comments and even some emails, have said that the audio is poor and getting worse.
Mics are probably fine and its the acoustics of the room that aren't. Wont sound bad to people actually in the room cos everyonrs brain nulls it out.
In Oldham, I can tell you the large Asian community has fireworks every night, and often into the early hours of the morning!

Given that here in West London there are about two weeks of firework for Diwali, presumably these are being curtailed and banned as well…. Ahh thought not!
Diwali needs to go then as they send up loads of fireworks for that

It's not the fireworks they're afraid of, it's the history behind the day. If Labour or the Tories have their way in 300 years the 7/7 tube attacks will become a national holiday.
Ohhh Dear! Surely not?
And the weddings.
Many places now mandate the usage of e-fireworks, which don't use explosives: they have proximity sensors so they wont deploy until people are 7m away. Then they accelerate slowly and produce synthesised son et lumière effects
dwalhi festival of Light is Celebrated, BRITAIN is under occupation
Yep, and the Ramadan decorations were everywhere...ignoring Christian holidays
Stop being a drama queen you wet-fart.
Will fireworks be banned at foreign weddings?
But I wouldn't like to stop Diwali: it should be as acceptable as Guy Fawkes. It is not a foreign intrusion like islam, rather an interesting cultural addition from a well-integrated section of our community.
It doesn't stop Khan setting of thousands of pounds worth of fireworks on New Years Eve with the significant introduction of the notification thanks to his worthy self.
My god how did we ever survive to old age with smoking, coal fires, bonfire night, lead in petrol, fish and chips fried in lard and the myriad other things thought dangerous or unhealthy that have now disappeared.

Anything about safety is ultimately about control.
"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries?... In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?" - Maurice Strong (First Director of the United Nations Environment Program)
How does this square out with importing millions of people from the third world into the "rich countries"?
He was one of the founders of the IPCC wasn't he? Was a complete nut job I believe.
