To be fair, alcohol, bonfires, boiling fat, petrol filled nightlights, pre-schoolers and small boys stripped to the waist running around brandishing firebrands to a background of Iggy Pop raises a few Health and Safety questions.
And let's not forget culpability in a court of law setting.
Ooh errr...
One child hits another on the head with a burning apple, probably soaked in petrol, it's all going a bit William Golding.
The children are thankfully taken away or put to sleep.

I understand that one or two adults were set alight.
If it's any consolation, I also had a very nauseous feeling at the end of the night, but not from any food or drink. At least you had a toilet pan for support - all I could muster were a line up of 4 newly indoctrinated drummers that looked like they were auditioning to save their lives.
