What's that banging?

Why are a million billion fireworks going off (9.45 pm, Sunday)? And why wasn't I invited??

[snowboarder]

Thames festival? Everyone was invited....!

[camberwellbeauty]

Oh. That'll be it then.

I was there, had a great spot on the South Bank. It was a fantastic display.

Yeah. Fireworks - Tories trying to distract us plebs from the cliff edge we're all going to fall over when the recession bites even deeper.

Or just carrying on that old Tory Ken Livingstone's policy on fireworks, given that the Thames Festival and fireworks were one of his initiatives.

We watched from our little roof garden here in ED and enjoyed the display. It is a bit like watching ?50.00 notes being burnt in front of your eyes - but prettier.

[DJKillaQueen]

Yes especially as those ?50 notes belonged to Barclay's Bank - the sponsors of the Thames Festival and fireworks!

What with the fireworks and the Barclays bikes and the strangely familiar blue colour bike lanes why don't we just rebrand the whole place as BarclaysLondon?

Any government that wishes to subdue the masses uses fireworks

It's a metaphor for fear & control
