Sam have you visited here long? The Cliffe Bonfire Society and their wonderful bonfire celebrations in general are forever being"moaned" about. This can be directly, those who dont like the societies traditions and say so, or indirectly those who refer to the effect on their pussies and pooches the event creates.
Freedom of speech is as good on here as anywhere! Try writing to the Scum sorry Sun attacking Rupert Murdoch and see if they print the letter. Freedom of speech is qualified and always has been. Otherwise complete freedom of speech would allow anybody to go round Bradford with a load hailer telling our Pakistani citizens to go home!

I reckon you can say whatever you feel like as long as it's not too offensive, Webbie only gets involved when things have got out of hand and not everyone from Lewes likes the bonfire so feel free to post as you wish!

Why do the Cliffe come in for so much more stick than any of the others? I've seen far worse behaviour form Waterloo than I ever have from the Cliffe. Is it because they're the biggest society?

It's jealousy!

Not jealousy, do you know of any other society with at least two out standing insurance claims that could take them all down.

Well there's the potential manslaughter charge hanging over the guy from Borough although that's to do with his fireworks warehouse rather than the bonfire society. Cliffe's problem isn't their insurance company per se, it's people going along to an event that is clearly described as dangerous then wanting to sue when they get injured. Blame Claims Direct if you must blame anyone. You might also want to ask some questions of the idiots who take very young children out with them on the 5th and stand right at the front of the crowd.

It WAS scarey back in the 70s. No barriers worth speaking of, hardly any police, total anarchy. I couldn't believe it was allowed when I first saw it.
