I know that Robert Catesby was the real mastermind of the plot. Fawkes was the one who got caught.

Simply put every 5 November in Britain on Guy Fawkes Day, we remember the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and fellow Catholic conspirators attempted to blow up Parliament and assassinate James I of England.handshake

@ Karl

Americans don't celebrate Guy Fawkes night "5th November"just like us Brits don't celebrate "Thanksgiving" like Americans do. Bonfire Night is a very old Tradition in the Uk.

On Thanksgiving, I like to set fire to a turkey and lob it into my American neighbours garden as a cultural peace offering

Lmao rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing


I do like the rhyme though:

Remember, remember the 5th of November, gun powder treason and plot. I see no reason that gun powder treason should ever be forgot.

Off the top of my head… and I’m getting older.professor

All I've been hearing is that Guy Fawkes was a deeply misunderstood man, a man with the right idea over 400 years ahead of us.
