Apparently this may have been caused by fireworks. And the government are still not interested in banning them because “most people” use them “responsibly”. Most people haven’t caused a huge fire but we still have one. 021

But, to all my trans & NB friends, colleagues & students: try to remember that only a small, genital-obsessed minority want this (however hard the media try to change that).
