Of all the memes in all the countries in all the world, Blairism is the one that is catching on as this article in the Spectator reminds us.
They are also quite right to foresee a similar prohibition in Britain should even one little poppet get his or her fingers barbecued next Guy Fawkes Night (and we know, we just know that at least one of them will)
The Safety Nazis have been crusading to ban fireworks for years and, in a country whose prime (perhaps only) preoccupation is safety, it is only a matter of time before they succeed. So, in future, we’re all going to have to spend Guy Fawkes Night gathering around the central heating and letting off some party poppers (until they ban those as well)
Pessimistic? Moi?
