Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
(See note at bottom about mask)
This day in 1605, Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars in the houses of Parliament surrounded by gunpower. He was then subsequently tried as a traitor; against the government and crown. Due to his crimes he was executed in the most vulgar way; hung, drawn and quartered. So, by having Fire works night, are we celebrating his attempt to get rid of the government? Or, are we actually celebrating having that system?
I believe that this night stands for freedom. While I don't mind having the government there, I do think some of it is preposterous; the expenses, the tax increases, the stupid rise in student fees....
So, what ever you believe. The 5th of November is a way for us English to remember!
I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot. - V for Vendetta
