Did you know that in the netherlands fireworks are not available except for the six weeks before new year? And lighting it is only allowed from 18.00 till 03.00 on new year? The dutch can over regulate, even without EU.

It used to be really strict here too and that was before the EU.

Why not celebration? It's the very best thing that's happened to the UK since the end of WW2 in which the independence of the UK was secured until being given away by lousy politicians especially that drip John Major.

It's happened, we have the result and that's the most important point. We all know how divisive Brexit has been and the people watching celebrations might well include good friends and neighbours who voted to remain. If you want to cause possible bad feelings in friends and neighbours, have the celebrations. Keep the divided nation going.

Well I don't give a stuff about upsetting Europhiles, this is a HUGE success for democracy and for Britain as a whole - and if the minority don't like it then they can suck it up.
