What do the Catholics in England think of this?

Remember, remember the fifth of November: the gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

Does this bring people any sort of joy? If so I they are stupid sheep and I hate them for it.

they wanted to get rid of the king thats why they wanted to blow up parlimament

Must be Chinese.

They're wearing Cowboys hats!

Yes, can't wait. Where I live, the community builds a massive bonfire, and buy the fireworks for a lovely display. Also serving free soup, hot potatoes, toffee and so on. Yay.

🙂

Just hope it doesn't rain again, rained last year and most of the fireworks didn't blast off properly...

I wonder how many people knew all the words to that before V for Vendetta came out?

I certainly didn't know anything beyond the 1st line.

Guy Fawkes was a Terrorist🙂 maybe they should put all Catholics on the terrorist list because of this, especially as its a cult more than a religion seeing as most of the practices are Pagan 🙂
