Sir Edward Lister, the deputy mayor of London, has just announced on the radio that there will be a £10 charge to watch the New years eves fireworks.


The reason he gives and i quote" to many people want come to London new years eve and to be honest we really don't want them there.He also says the money raised will only go towards policing the event and it will be a break even gig....pull the other one mate...Its just yet another money revenue raising exercise.


Its quite simple deputy mayor...if you don't want people to go then don't bleeding av it in the first place!!

and there was me thinking that the really expensive part of fireworks were the hundreds of exorbitantly expensive explosives being detonated.

How do they plan to stop people who haven't paid just looking up into the sky?

Those who don't pay will be issued with a blindfold.

I hate fireworks. I'd ban the lot of them.

They scare animals.
