Bonfires create pollution, and the green nuts probably suggest global warming.
If Gordon and his mates taxed it (like everything else), they'd make a killing on November 5th.

No, they just should be banned except for the 5th of November, same with fireworks, now any idiot can use them on their birthday whenever it happens to fall.

and to what benefit would the money be put to? sent over to africa? I cant see one single thing that the govement have actually done with all these so called green taxes.
I mean where are all the energy efficient powerstations? or free solar panels for houses or wind farms etc...
wheres all the investment into greener cars/planes and trains etc..? sure we have a few on the roads and that, but thats from manufacturers.
its just an excuse for them to get more money out of us so the MP's can afford a 2nd/3rd/4th home and claim excessive expenses.
hows that song go?
build a bonfire
build a bonfire
put the tories on the top
put the labours in the middle
and burn the F ing lot

Unless I missed a few hundred years of history they would make a load more from the 12th of July in Northern Ireland.
Can't see Gordon or his mates taking on that task.

of course not. its the sh!t we put onto the bonfires that create pollution. i wonder what the government will do when the gas runs out. everything comes full circle and we will all end up with stoves and log fires in the home.
but i agree the government are greedy b@st@rds, they tax evrything else don't they.
so you just be quiet, they might read this..lol!

Mm, so everytime you light a fire (even a barbeque?) you'd have to write a letter to the council, wait for them to loose it and find it again and give it to the wrong person and loose it again, then you can phone them up and get put on hold, and then a few months after all that they might send you a letter back saying yay or nay.
That'd be fun! I hardly ever have bonfires and my washing keeps coming in reeking of them - lets give it a go!

You shouldn't give Gordy ideas. He'll be doing that and taxing the air that we breathe soon. I would like to leave my carbon footprint right where it hurts him. Does he think we are retarded children who can't be responsible about recycling and cutting down on power usage? He is using all this hot air about Global warming as a great excuse to tax us on everything he can-like the £40 extra carbon tax on flying abroad. I will be holidaying in England and Scotland from now on. We need to ditch this Government as soon as possible.

Well we could always use Gordon as the Guy and stick him on the top, not very user friendly.......

No. But if they tax the spoken word, maybe the politicians would shut up.
