Default is £10 a cheek to charge "new year revelers" on the "Thames" ?

is £10 a cheek to charge "new year revelers" on the "Thames" ?


£5 to see my firework ? i undercut Boris 18.09.14

gather round please
don't be shy or timid
your attention i want to seize
not just under your arms will you be humid.
from now on i am not easy
i will play hard to get
unlike Boris the buffoon and being cheesy
i am now up for let.
everything will be on display
like the "Thames" i will explode
into my pocket £5 pay
i will fire and reload.
gone is every "free" activity
its more annoying then the voice of "Barts mum" "Marge"
if this "government" could for gravity
they would introduce a "Law" and charge.
one night a year
you won't let us celebrate
we pay our "taxes" with inflation fear
your charge is outrageous and no exaggerate.
lets give Boris a jerk
no one pay and attend
all come round to mine and see m firework
i undercut Boris and now set a £5 trend.







(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-29234879 here you can read a bit more about the charge i am talking about. and if you want to see my firework display you can book tickets so visit haysucker.com . what i want most to do is to get everyone not to go so it ends up humiliating Boris and the conservative party as they are just taking all the joy out of life and i hope it costs them more to put on then they get back. will you join me and show your support ? please email the conservative party by going to this websitehttp://www.conservatives.com/contact.aspx and copy and paste my poem to them and just say you have been undercut and this is for being so greedy and i hope it ends up costing you more. or if you disagree with me i would love a poetry war with a reply. )

Yes.

Can't blame London though. They are guaranteed the crowds so may as well take advantage of that as people will pay! Bit naughty announcing this in September, as a lot of people from around the world will have booked visits to London ages ago, but I guess another opportunity for them to guarantee people paying to view it.

Free first come first serve tickets would have been better though. Despite tickets being charged too, it will only be enforced in the key areas where you can watch the fireworks, so if you know London well you can probably get just as a good spot somewhere else for free and away from the ticketed areas.
