It's not acceptable - but it happens - and much less than in the past.

it's still the children doing it themselves who are most at danger IMHO - fireworks sometimes just explode, or go off when in your pocket. I haven't seen a single warning yet this year however.


Edit: London Grime to me = Stormzy.

Oh and as the Standard says


"The law states that using or selling fireworks illegally in the UK could land an offender either a fine of up to ?5,000 and a six month stretch in prison. "


So children with them are buying them illegally or getting them from parents. So the law is in place.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
