What a waste of money.

Couldn't the money be used for better purposes like helping the homeless or fighting knife crime and moped muggings?

But the major wouldn’t be able to instantly look good if he didn’t do a big pointless firework display!!

Truely disgusting individual....choosing a time like that to make a point when there was literally people dying on HIS streets at the same time.
He's out of for his own political gain....but saying that...would another mayor...from another political party be any different.

So no fireworks at all then? Because they'd cost money whatever colour he decided to use ?

Let's all just stop spending money on anything because there are homeless people then!

I think you'll find that the New Years Eve firework display generates a lot of money through the thousands of people who line the streets to see it. Perhaps the benefit may be felt more indirectly, but still that is millions of pounds to the local economy in just one evening.

Tickets are £10, and they sell 100,000 of them. That alone covers about half of the cost.

I preferred the MEP who said "Would he have shown an Argentinian flag during the Falklands War?"

Don't they also sell tickets to sit to the London Eye as well? Imagine sitting in one of the pods while all hell breaks loose around you. Would be quite the assault on the senses.... And the wallet I would imagine

Well, I enjoyed the fireworks.

Hope nobody dies this year from knife crime so we can have some fireworks (I say fireworks, it'll mostly be effigies of brown people I imagine) next year

I don’t know how much it cost for police, security, closing the road and the river but the cost of the firework display would have been about £300k and they would have made a tidy profit.

Now I know who fired the display and it was a good display but it was completely ruined by a few things - all of which would have been specially and specifically requested by the Mayors office.

They had what we call a false finale and after that they resumed with “All you need is Love” and a load of heart and smiley face shells (the majority of which burst either upside down or on their side (which they tend to do) and then went to a real finale which was nowhere as good as the false one.

If the mayor insisted on fecking about with it he should have listened to the more than competent display team and stuck the Euro bit in the middle. Unfortunately he wouldn’t listen because his ego got in the way.

Not really got an issue with it as I don't give a sh1t but i hate how literally everything is politicised these days

I remember doing politics at uni back in 2009 and no one gave a sh1t except people on my course - now everyone, everything is getting political; at the time I wanted people into politics and less apathy... I think I now prefer apathy

the mayors office allocates about £2.3 million pounds for the event, with the funding of ticket sales/concession stands its expected to have cost 3.2 million overall.

so if the fireworks only cost 300k (which makes sense as it lasted 11mins and Sydney does 20mins twice in an evening and it doesnt cost them millions) work out where the rest went...

it does seem ridiculous way to literally burn money as some kind of international who has got the biggest rocket contest that no-one will ever bother watching video of again
