Guy Fawkes was religiously and politically motivated, but is remembered by everyone. The Catholic church stance on gay people back in the day possibly a reason for some folk not, erm, getting behind old Billy Boy perhaps? The proddies obviously a more tolerant bunch and show their appreciation and solidarity by coming out to bat for him every year in their brightly coloured, flamboyant and mostly tight fitting costumes. The only explanation imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people will eventually celebrate the Nazis invading and giving up the Channel Islands. As King William of Orange and his missus were the last successful military invasion of England that period of success is just not worth getting excited about. I thought Guy Fawkes night was about celebrating him getting caught. Burning an effigy of someone seems a funny way to unite behind them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them misheard Rage Against The Machine as ‘some of those that burn pallets/will get on Timmy Mallett’. They keep it going even tho Timmy hasn’t been on the telly for 30 years. Traditions and culture are important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
