No. But the only one in Hull listed on the HDM's list of Bonfires in Hull and the East Riding is one in Bransholme the rest are in the East Riding. They are expecting 70,000 at Roundhay Park in Leeds for one of 5 council organised Bonfires. There is a long list of other ones as well with recommendations for pubs and eating places to go in. Are there any other large cities without a council Bonfire and only one in the city for the local paper to mention?
You must be a bit of a silly **** to go to an organised bonny when you can stay at home and just look out the window. Get someone in the other room to whack a bit of wet cardboard now and again for full sound fx. Arguably Britain's only genuinely popular celebration, it's not in support of any religion, or monarchy or political party. For the people by the people. You will hear virtually no mention of it on TV, especially the snooty metropolitan BBC. Ironic in the week that the will of the people has been halted by the wealthy and their lawyers, who played the Parliament card in a bid to stop Brexit going ahead, that we celebrate the thwarting of left footer Guido Fawkes who wanted to blow the bastards up.
I am not interested in Bonfires, organised or not but it is a missed opportunity as Imdoubt that Leeds council will be losing money on the ones they do. A tradition ignored by HCC but they can get excited and organise lots of other things with little relevance to Hull. Younsrecallowed to legally set off fireworks for an hour longer for Diwali than you can on Bonfire Night for some reason.
Apart from the fact that Fawkes basically had eff all to do with it and is only credited cos he had a memorable name...
