I have just seen in the news pictures of crowds of people crammed onto bridges in central London watching a New Years Eve firework / laser display.
While obviously, the people who poured into town to watch that are fucking morons, the people who OK'd the display, and paid for it out of the public purse have got to be off the scale.
The fireworks and drones over the dome weren't live. It isn't clear from the media coverage of people in town what they actually saw. I think your outrage may be a little misplaced.
I watched this on TV with my partner and told here it was not live, but CGI. However, looking at some newspaper reports today, there was apparently a 'secret' fireworks display and drone show. Other photos seem to show a light display at the London Eye and ex-GLC building.

How come that was allowed to happen?
