With the news of firefighters and other emergency staff being attacked by yobs surely it is time to ban the public sale of fireworks and unofficial fires on wasteland.
Public servants like these need our support and whilst dealing with idiots like this other members of the community could be at serious risk. Time to call a halt.

It's about time that fireworks were banned from sale to the general public.
There are pet owners like myself, who despite taking every possible measure necessary to ensure that our pets are kept calm every Bonfire Night are forced to endure absolute hell when the morons set off their shop bought pyrotechnics weeks before they are supposed to thereby causing our pets to panic and become terrified.
If there must be a Bonfire Night with fireworks then it should be a properly licensed and professionally run operation.

The MoD has confirmed an order for eight Type 26 frigates to be built on the Clyde enough to secure jobs for 20 years but Nicola Sturgeon moaned that it was not the number promised.
If the SNP had got its anti-nuclear way there would not have been any Trident submarines to protect.
The SNP are so busy blaming Westminster that they are failing the NHS, Education and electricity security.
They failed to meet their pledge to wipe out fuel poverty in Scotland with 845,000 homes still falling into this bracket.
There is an affordable housing shortage in Scotland and 5,000 Scottish children will face spending Christmas homeless and in temporary accommodation yet the SNP wants more immigration.
They focus on independence, ignoring the fact that Scottish electricity bills would rocket as English householders would refuse to pay the substantial subsidies cost of Scottish wind turbines.
Stop the niggling.

Congratulations to the workers at Nissan and BAE Systems for securing their long term futures. Great news and such a pleasant contrast to the daily doom and gloom served up by our politicians.

Liz Baxter is spot on, begging used to be a criminal offence in Glasgow but some idiot decriminalised it now the streets are crowded with them.
They even run a shift system.
