Remember, remember,
The fifth of November;
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no good reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should e'er be forgot.

Indeed.

One man's terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

It has always been so.

The last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions?

Funny because it's true

Funnily enough that's what I noted on Twitter a couple of hours ago!

It has been forgotten where it matters. We're all Europeans now.

Guido Fawkes only started what Cromwell finished. Discuss.

Arguably, Fawkes didn't start it - the conflict in England between Protestants and Catholics had been going on for quite a while already.

Similarly, I'm not sure Cromwell finished it either - note the rebellion against James II because of fears of his Catholic faith.

Is it the failed plot or its foiling that is celebrated?
