London Firefighters strike on Bonfire Night

[flatface]

So if the government just stops paying the fire brigade they can't strike. That is the silliest idea I have ever heard.

They're striking on that night as it'll get their message out most effectively. If they strike at other times people simply won't care. If you don't want a fire or something happening then just don't bother in the first place.

this lol

I'm sure there will be adequate cover arranged for the night as a result of the strike

Would be a different story if there children were to die in a uncontrolled fire

The loss of the fire brigade is unlikely to cause avoidable deaths. If a bonfire gets out of control then children should be able to get to a safe distance long before a fire engine could arrive, if they could not get out of the way then the fire brigade wouldn't be able to help by the time they arrive anyway. There will actually be very few casualties caused by the loss of the fire Brigade, mostly just fire damage to property.

Read wrong, Don't people take a shining to shoving fireworks through letter boxes after having a mortal night out.

This is not inconsiderate, if the public perform right they wont get any pay due to not being needed.

SIMPLE AS THAT!

The fireworks generally make a nice loud noise to wake you up, slightly more effective than a smoke detector don't you think?
