AKA the “I only know about Guy Fawkes Day because of V for Vendetta” crowd.
Or anyone outside of Britain.
No one from Chile really cares, either.

Means nothing. Every country should act in its own (ie: the peoples) best interest. They should always be the centre of their own universe, as they have limited ability to change things outside such.
he was trying to kill the king because the king was protestant and he wanted a king who’d force everyone to be catholic it’s celebrating that he was stopped hung drawn and quartered L + rip bozo
Glad you pointed this out. The efforts of Guy Fawkes and his team were to restrict the rights of many. Although the character of V For Vendetta is cool, it’s very, very loosely based on the actual Guy Fawkes (who gives me the impression of a bigot, from what we know of the gunpowder plot).
The real religion is the one that ignores the text of its own holy book when one particular king really wants to
Protestantism existed before Henry VIII and actually started out on a “the pope is corrupt and catholics have stopped serving god” platform
Then the protestant churches banned fun and everyone responded by losing interest in religion so catholic countries are actually more religious now
ummm no

“Come on, kids! Let’s go door to door asking for help celebrating a guy burning to death!”
To be fair, burning to death is probably marginally less excruciating than crucifixion and people who claim to LIKE that Jezza guy can’t get enough of celebrating THAT happening to him every spring 🤷
Yeah, but this is celebrating the execution of a terrorist. It would be like if the U.S. had Bin Laden Day. It’s tasteless if you think about it.
Not sure if your conflating Halloween or talking about the way we nicked asked if we could have any 8nused wood for the bonfire
The latter. Although kids just used to ask for money.
As a kid in the UK in the 80s we never did the penny for the guy thing. No one ever gave us anything
don’t blame me i was celebrating man getting hit in the groin with a football
