Christmas Crackers do contain a small amount of black powder. A few of them combined can make a small firecracker-type explosive. Extract the powder from a few dozen and you could make a small pipe bomb.
Crackers are dangerous, and we must put our nation's children first before all considerations. Those that collect crackers can also gain enough explosive for acts of terrorism. I would strongly suggest that all those who purchase crackers should have their personal details recorded and then police checked in case they are terrorists.
I think the age for buying explosives should be raised to 21 - the 'snaps' in crackers can be collected and combined to potentially anarchic levels of combustion. Christmas crackers can easily scar or maim if used in the wrong hands.
I like the way they start off blaming an "EU diktat" before revealing slightly further on that it was actually a British decision to set the age limit at 16.
I hope the EU don't pass some sort of newspapers not allowed to print complete bollocks legislation.
Don't worry. Christmas crackers may be a particularly British thing, but bollocks newspapers are not.
