oh no - whereas you gotta give it to the guy, he had the right idea! specially going off todays government - shame someone doesnt try again if you ask me but personally i think guye fawkes night has lost what it is about - nowadays its just an excuse for the youth to go buying fireworks irresponsibly and causing as much trouble as they can with them - its great to see a good display if you go somewhere - you cant beat a good BBQ a can of guiness and a good firework show, but i think it shoule remain as that rather than sell fireworks to the general public to cause annoyance - i hate bonfire night not just the fireworks but its an excuse for everyman and his dog to burn all there crap - its the firefighters i feel sorry for - specially when they get called out cos a set of ferral youths lit a fire so they could attack firemen - thats just plain wrong

& wiener roasting).....

The night is a remembrance of how they failed to kill the King. That's why we burn a "Guy". It's not anti-government and it wasn't even Guy's idea

cool night though. will be the first time I've been to a bonfire in this country for a couple of years

thought the intended plan was to blow up the houses of parliment whilst they were all in there - not just the king?
still its not like none of that matters anymore anyway is it - most just see it as either an excuse to get rat arsed or cause trouble
just like halloween and dont even get me started on christmas lmfao

Wasnt it about killing protestants? I think they were caught because they had warned catholic members about their plan and news leaked. Could be wrong though. He paid a heavy price though, tortured, then hung drawn and quartered. Only a first offence too, firm but fair back then.

Fuk, nowadays MP's are doing enough damage without Gunpowder.......and lets face it, if Guy got caught today he would get a community service order and an ASBO.
