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.
