Just saw a bunch of teenagers throwing fireworks at each other just opposite the play park! Frightened the life out of me as I first thought it was gun fire. No regards for families close by and really scared my daughter

This has been reported to the police but wasn’t sure if anyone else had seen this

The bigger question that trading standards need to look at is where they got fireworks from as that breaks two rules

1. From 15 October to 10 November is the legal period at this time of year to sell fireworks (Diwali, New Year and Chinese New Year are other legal periods for sales)

2. Fireworks can not be sold to under 18s

We also saw them throwing fireworks on St Francis Road and reported it to the police. It appears to be the same teenagers who are riding Boris and Lime bikes and wearing balaclavas/face masks.

We used to throw bangers at each other when kids. Not right but it happens....

 

Not sure they use bangers these days...


Kids at school, in my time (I'm really old now!), had upped the level to proper screamers that were set off down the corridors *shrugs

I used to do this when i was a teenager all the time, and in fact would still do it now, if i didn't have a big garden to let them off in instead.


Ill be having a huge display again this year, on Lacon Road if anyone wants to keep an eye and ear out.

    • She also suggested that the 2017 Manchester terror attack (perpetrated by an Islamist extremist) was due to "divisiveness" and tried to pin the blame on the far right. Grim, really. 
    • Thankfully, it seems that yesterday's "Red vs Blue" school wars thing has turned out to be a hoax/ nonsense/ whatever. (See link below if you managed to avoid this stuff). In years to come, we might found out who - or which countries - has an interest in testing what happens when you post socially disruptive content online about fake events... In the meantime, thank you to our local teachers and other school workers, police community support officers and police officers. My commute happens to take me past a bunch of schools at dropoff/pickup times, and I noticed a much greater and more visible presence on streets outside/near schools than normal. Annoying as it must have been to be distracted from other important duties, I really value and appreciate them looking out for the kids. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/school-wars-trend-red-blue-london-police-latest-142328025.html https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jan/01/birmingham-new-year-fireworks-display-centenary-square-police

    • a) Because they published a leaflet in Urdu promising to give "Muslims a strong voice". This is reprehensible - just as a party that promised to give Protestants or Jews or Buddhists alone "a strong voice" would be acting in a sectarian manner. Parties - especially socialist ones like the English & Welsh Greens are now - should not be assymetrically promoting the interests of one religious group. b) Because they published a video in Urdu and Bangla criticising Kier Starmer for meeting Narendra Modi, when Modi has nothing to do with the issues discussed. Modi is a Hindu nationalist bigot - but in this context, the Greens are just shitstirring existing tensions between British Hindus and British Muslims for the purpose of trying to win Muslim votes - see the first point. FWIW I don't have any problem with parties communicating with the electorate in languages other than English (from Irish to Polish to Malayalam). What is very suspicious is when parties pump out sectarian messages only in one language... When Mamdani ran for Mayor of NYC (and won) he released plenty of campaign videos in multiple languages - but always with English subtitles too. There was never a suggestion he was sending different, sectarian messages to different groups.     https://uk.news.yahoo.com/why-greens-made-advert-urdu-164616073.html https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/uk-green-party-accused-of-sectarianism-after-releasing-videos-in-urdu-and-bangla-featuring-pm-modi-and-gaza/articleshow/128826689.cms
