http://uk.news.yahoo.com/03112006/356/bonfire-night-disaster.htmlAn MP has warned the public not to light fires in their gardens this weekend, branding Bonfire Night "an environmental disaster".
In the wake of the Stern report, Labour's Barry Sheerman said people had to recognise the connection between their actions and the planet's future.
He said: "Too many people will pussyfoot around because they think it's part of their heritage to have a bonfire in the back garden and burn a Catholic on it.
"But this weekend there will be more dioxins and more carbon put into the atmosphere than much of industry puts in the rest of year. It is a cataclysmic disaster.
So there you have it. Don't do it, boys and girls.
On a serious note, does anyone bother with a bonfire? Not round where I live that's for sure...
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

What a clown.
Bonfires are ace. My Grandad used to have a great one.
It does though. Where I'm from all the kids from the estate get together and go collecting, when the bonfire is made the whole estate come and watch and talk and let of fireworks.
Our bonfire this year was quite big, though they did have something like 200 car tyres which shouldn't have been there.
£60,000 a year for a tosser like that. Use him as the Guy and at least we might get our money's worth.
Well I never!
If only he wasn't a Monarchist!
Ooooh controversial! :thumb:
Thats no Moon!/Pope! (This place needs strikethrough code)
I guess you have to ask [why he wanted to blow up parliament...
Odd innit... The Stern report comes out and politicians start giving a shit. Shows where their interests lie.
Partially because they wanted a return to an absolutist Catholic monarchy and with a racist hatred of Scots partially he wanted to kill a Scottish king and his Scotch advisors.
Now the Parliament under James I and VI may not have been perfect, but it was a damned site better than what Fawkes and Catesby wanted. You can pretty much draw a direct line between James VI (with a few minor detours) and a modern mainly democratic and mainly tolerant modern Britain.
It was the Pope for years and years, but now its a different yearly hate figure, Bin Laden was one year for example.
And anyway, it doesnt have a deep meaning anymore, its just a chance to blow things up and ooooh and aaaah and the pretty sparkling lights.
At the risk of being picky it wasn't the pope, but a pope, specifically Pope Paul V
who was head of the Church during the time of the Plot.
For the left it's been President Bush since 2000. For those uninterested in politics it seems to be 'Lady' Heather Mills McCartney at the moment.
I was refering to the burnt figure at Lewes, which as Flashmans Ghost points out was a Pope, and as I said is now just a yearly hate figure.
