two ppl dead and a 150yr old church burned down on the last day fireworks are legal in the netherlands.

WTF is wrong with ppl spending €150M on fireworks whilst others are struggling homeless & in poverty, animals are suffering from the noise & climate change is excellerating from the extra CO2 pollution.

i bet the ban won't bring any relief cause how the hell will they police that?..

Amsterdam church burns amidst 'unprecedented' New Year's Eve violence against police

With The Netherlands expected to ban fireworks in 2026, a rowdy New Year's Eve led to injuries and two deaths due to firework accidents.

The #ukgovernment are to pass a law that makes it illegal to be hurt by fireworks. They can’t manage to control illegal imports, so they are doing what they always do. They are punishing the innocent.

@RichRARobi i would say that's just as insane as banning fireworks altogether. the message is: let's blow up your hard-earned cash to enrich some chinese billionaires, spend more on trying to police this 'letting off steam so public rage won't be directed at the actual rulers' and then blame consequences on individuals & minority groups to distract more attention off the billionaire class & the system & divide ppl
they're always going to blame ppl for any harm. it's #CorporateCrime & #StateCrime

Hopefully, they won’t take my sarcasm as truth, I was actually having a dig at the ridiculous online safety act.
Sorry to confuse….
