I totally accept the premise of your point. A previous (I think Labour) government chose to create a fireworks season lasting from 15th October until the 10th November and the supermarkets choose to take advantage of this by putting fireworks on sale from when they open on 15th October and market their sale as heavily as possible to maximise their profit. This is why I feel I can blame supermarkets for driving fireworks season due to their desire to profit form it.
