Bonfire to be Banned!!

forrest · Bonfire to be Banned!!

I see that the letters of complaints and ones wanting bonfire to be banned have already started in today's Argus. Something to do with it all be anti Catholic and outdated.

Well its our tradition and we're keeping it Exclamation

Afterall we dont have many of them left in our country.

I would say more, but I really dont want to jump on my soapbox Laughing

here is said letter in full. Feel free to discuss.

Of course you are! That's why your new progressive church still refuses to encourage the use of condoms in the third world, a move that would save tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives a a year. Don't you dare preach to us until you get your own house in order!!!! As for the Muslim question, we've all seen Osama bin laden condemned to the flames at the Lewes celebrations and I don't recall any "outcry". There you go, a calm and measured response by my standards i think!

So he's proud of the fact that his religion persucuted & murdered 100's of innocent protestents, fellow christians and them planned one of the earliest known terriost plots to blow up the protestant king & goverment of England.

Then wasn't it a Catholic led Crusade into the Holy Land to rape, pillage and wage war on said Muslim's Question

I agree I really don't think the Catholic church & their followers have much right to preach to us how we should go about our way.

Not to mention of course their ongoing hatred of the members of the imaginary (Pink and White hooped with frills and tassles) Brighton Bonfire society!!! Haven't a number of Catholic run schools been blacklisted by the government because their teachings are in breech of discrimination guidelines namely on sexual orientation? The words pot kettle and Black spring to mind!!!

(can i use these admin if i don't call him nasty names again? Sorry!! but I was sure his name was Mr Richard Head!!)

Happens at this time of year every year. Someone always wants bonfire to be banned as they take offence to out traditions here in Sussex. We won't be druv!

I've been in bonfire for more years than I care to admit and it's reliably TRADITIONAL to get the annual call for this "outrage" to be stopped. The Argus, in particular, liking to get their foot through the Papal Burning Shock Horror doorway first. It wouldn't be bonfire without someone getting agitated though, would it?

But what the cackbadgers who pipe up never realise is quite how many costumed Catholics cheerfully march through Lewes on the 5th.

I'd be more worried about how the Police intend to go about enforcing the laws on 'racial and religious hatred' insofar as they apply to banners and effigies than I would about the usual suspects on the letters pages of the local newspapers. The PCs are getting altogether too PC these days..

Remember ................ Its not the religion .. Its the action that prompted the celebrations . . .

I see yet another ant bonfire letter has made its way into the Argus again this week. About time we hit back with some pro bonfire letters I think.

These nimbys also don't realise the knock on effects that banning these things would have:

Also alot of local charities would miss out on a nice pay cheque every year.
