But are they? Reports say they are the prime reason for wildfires. But I know of at least two major incidents that weren't caused by disposable barbeques (yet the BBC list them on their fire map).
This week's closure of the A31 was due to a fire caused by a van catching alight.
There A couple of months ago there was a major fire at a festival. Caused not by a BBQ, but by someone lighting a camping cooker in deep brush without tamping down the brush first to create a break. I know, because I know an eyewitness who watched the girl light the cooker and the conflagration start.
But hey, lets blame the disposable BBQ, the devil incarnate. Sadly you won't be able to use one to have a quick BBQ in your garden now. Instead you're going to have to go to the whole rigmarole of buying an actual BBQ, then buying the charcoal, etc.
Of course those of us bemoaning the ban must hush our mouths for the greater good, as with COVID, because the Government has become our parent and tells us not to.
It does make you wonder how many Psychopathic people with Daddy issues there are in the country, that they would allow the Government of all people to become a surrogate parent to them. There must be millions of adults from broken homes just wishing for that parental-style intervention, to set those boundaries for them.
Instead of what they should do and tell the Government to righteously Fuck Off with their Draconian Ban, like we should have during COVID.
How about telling the government to stop borrowing money to pay off it's debts? That's a fucking important message. Nope, BBQs are the most important issue of the moment.
And it's going to rain torrentially within the next 14 days, so brace yourself for flooding. Maybe the government will ban swimming pools and rubber ducks then.
