I watched a very balanced news report the other day, where they showed the bonfires “the other side” build, and what they put on top of theirs.
They interviewed bonfire builders, including one of the builders of this one, questioning him about what goes on top.
He was amazingly calm, unapologetic and kind of just said “it’s part of life here, on both sides, any more questions?”
I watched a documentary the other day, I grew up in England in the 70’s and still had no idea that the Irish problem was an all out civil war. A proper all out civil war, the footage is almost unbelievable if you’ve never experienced it yourself.
Anyway, back to the bonfire, they’ll light the bottom first right? and it’s a wooden stack, the bottom will burn out before the top? I reckon it’s going to be one hell of a mess when it falls in on itself.
It’s going to be quite an experiment, I presume it’s the biggest ever built?
