Muslim Leader Of Nottingham City Council Axes Traditional Bonfire Night Celebrations
The BBC:
She said Nottingham’s bonfire night celebration was an example of non-essential spending which the council could not commit to and she thought it may never be held again.
The previously annual event at the Forest Recreation Ground has been cancelled for the last five years in a row, which Ms Khan said was due to the council’s ambition to be carbon neutral by 2028, as well as the cost.
"If we’re saying our most vulnerable people are struggling, well then should we be spending money on Bonfire Night?" she added.
Oh dear, you know what this means? Nottingham kids will just have to go round the streets and houses collecting Korans to fill a sack to put on top of the bonfire instead of pennies for the Guy. Shame, but needs must in these times of austerity - and it sounds pretty “equitable” to me.
Our culture and traditions are being diluted on purpose so we lose our national identity!!!
I think the people of Nottingham need to build massive bonfires all over the city and smoke out this DEI appointed so called “leader”!!!
Until the plebs wake up to this nonsense and start saying “NO” it will continue to happen!!
As it happens I agree that councils should not be funding bonfire night fireworks. This is absolutely not within the necessary or reasonable remit of local government; the appetite of the public for such events can comfortably be met privately, eg by local schools for which it provides a useful fund raising opportunity alongside a jolly social event. Councils should stick to clearing the drains which haven’t been done outside my house for years, relying on residents like me to do it. No bread & circuses!
The carbon neutral posturing of the council as its reasoning is however totally b*ll**ks.
