Majority want to see fireworks banned in NZ, survey saysA recent survey has found that a majority of Kiwis want to see backyard fireworks banned or fireworks banned entirely ahead of Guy Fawkes this Sunday. I do not want us to lose the spirit of rebellion that Guy Fawkes represented. When I burn the Guy on my bonfire, I’m not burning some Catholic zealot from 400 years ago, I’m burning the 1%, I’m burning neoliberalism, I’m burning vested corporate interests, I’m burning the deep state and I’m burning the 5 Fucking eyes. Even as I sing the joys of Guy Fawkes Day, I have to admit the glaring reality that demands private fireworks must be banned. We need to ban private fireworks because the fire hazard is only going to grow and grow with each passing year as global warming becomes more extreme.
