I used to love Guy Fawke's night, bangers & mash & baked spuds from the fire with our school pals invited over as we had space for our own bonfire & fireworks.
I'm terribly sorry; this story must cause you great sadness.
Hopefully, it may be of some consolation for you to note that this is (so far) only occurring in one area, and is being met with widespread ridicule and condemnation. My great hope is that Great Britain will be able to save it's great culture and traditions from the cancer of Political Correctness as well as from the Saracen hordes. Unlike Islam, British and Western culture has been, on balance, a force of good and is worth saving. Hopefully it will not get so bad that special traditions will be lost forever.
Sad that the PC'er are messing with the kids fun.
