“The beacons are lit!”
The annual environmental disaster that is The 11th Night is in full swing across Belfast.
It’s been hot with no rain for over a week.
We’re told to be careful and not take barbecues into the countryside - but bonfires are “traditional” 🤦

@BelfastRoadster@birds.town Aye. There’s nothing traditional about bloody parades on the 11th, or even more bloody fireworks. (Which are even more environmentally disastrous.) 🔥🔥🔥

@BelfastRoadster@birds.town I didn’t realise they built bonfires actually on the hills. Blimey.
