I’m at the bonfire in Portadown tonight where firefighters are currently dousing the flats with foam due to the intense heat – @beltel pic.twitter.com/FjLr32xfXZ

Last night.
Portadown, County Armagh.
Meanwhile..
Try to imagine this purported celebration of British identity in Britain. https://t.co/2lcHf9mS0N

It’s like a scene from ‘Chernobyl’.
It really seems backbottomwards that they’re dousing the flats and not the fire itself. Insanity.
If they douse the fire the UVF shoots them
send in the cops .. oh .. send in the army! oh
Ehhh – sound lads
No need to send IN any clowns.
THE HAZARDOUS FIRE IS THEIR IDENTITY. YOU CANNOT TAKE AWAY THEIR IDENTITY
It’s culture. Obviously.
King Billy himself stacked pallets that reached to the heavens.
Not to mention the tyres. Whole lotta those in 1690 knocking around the Boyne valley
King Billy actually found parades offensive,
When he was greeted by crowds brandishing orange veg he thought it ridiculous..irony
We can Chep away at it though
Yes a 50 foot bonfire full of burning pallets and tyres – just like it was in King Billy’s day!
Where were you, when they built those pallets to heaven
I understood there was good money in europallets, they’re not exactly without value.
so where tf do these lads get them from annually in such large quantities? they’re perfectly serviceable (if not brand new…not scrap) from what I’ve seen.
Anyone educated in norniron matters know the answer to that one?
We have a sister company in the North. We give them the pallets. It’s easier.
wow
I also just learned a lot more than I needed to know about pallets because as it turns out they have their own Wikipedia page?!
now there’s no mention of an ISO standard describing which ones are meant for use in large antisocial fire scenarios however maybe that aspect is less technical more cultural, wha
Once Brexit happens, our pallets will have to be heat treated otherwise they could be stopped from entering Britain. Sane think coming in here from Britain.
I think the lads in Portadown may have misread ‘heat treated’ as something else.
Guy Fawkes night bonfires ?
