The funny thing is, i had to do a presentation about Guy Fawkes Day a couple years ago at school, and the backstory is a bit sad. Long story short: Some fellas want to blow up the house of lords, the gunpowder plot fails, Guy Fawkes gets tortured, everyone gets executed, the end. And this very day we put dolls impersonating them on a large bonfire and dance around it.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but how is that considered something to party about? |
