Come live here, you'd soon change your mind. There is plenty of events, a lot free around the week of the 5th around the country. There is no need to sell explosives to the public and that's coming from someone who loves fireworks. Ask the emergency services what they think should happen to fireworks. I've personally seen one been shot at a police van, I nearly called 999 then realised who do you actually call when the police are on the receiving end of it. One got put into someone's open window which caused a fire too.
If not a full ban then make it so hard to buy some that it becomes a chore to buy them and hopefully that takes away most of the trouble makers. It's got nothing to do with a nanny state and just what makes sense and in fact they aren't even banned, a private company have stopped selling them, so not sure how you come to the conclusion of a nanny state.
