“Why would they build the houses so close to the bonfires?” From 2015, I think

1. Where’s the global warming police on this one? Surely a fair few beef cattle worth of emissions for this nonsense.

2. “at the end of the day”

   Reminds me of the Adrian Kennedy phone show.

3. Who pays to shutter all the houses?

4. It really brings down the tone of the area.

5. I remember once when some roofs started going on fire due to the embers the local DUP MLA complained the fire brigade should be pre dowsing the nearby houses to stop it happening. It was so blatant that he was trying to avoid responsibility, blaming everyone but his community.

6. The houses were there first ?

   By having the bonfires there it means they can attack the emergency services from their free houses.

7. You would have thought that his carer would have stopped him from making this call.

8. Crafty stuff – building houses near their bonfires to force them further out into the countryside.

   Poor lad. Will his persecution know no bounds?

9. On the plus side, houses 30 feet from a towering inferno of bigotry might actually be the only affordable houses in the country…

10. It’s shocking that in this day and age people insist on building houses right next to a bonfire site. Bonfires are an annual occurrence, their natural habitat is a mix of open space, bitter misguided anger, sectarian hatred, no environmental consideration, misunderstood or even no knowledge of history plus too much free time and wood pallets. Must add that they add to the local economy in that they require supervision of limited local civic resources such as firemen, and clean up crews. This is a cultural phenomenon native to loyalism for King Billy (long dead) who was not local and was funded by the pope. But who needs facts when there is anarchy to be had.

11. It’d be great to just bulldoze these fucking idiots and their bonfires into a big hole
