Tonight is Guy Fawkes night in the UK, also known as Bonfire night. We celebrate a failed attempt to blow up parliament and kill the king centuries ago by letting off fireworks and lighting Bonfires upon which we burn effigies.
Every year there's trouble, property is damaged, people are hurt, thugs run riot. And every year there's calls to end the celebration.
Other people say it's fun. There's organised displays, people have garden parties, and it's not right to end a tradition because of a few idiots.
Personally I say end it. It seems to be merging with Halloween anyway. The UK has seen many terrorist attacks in the past decades so why we still celebrating one being stopped in 1605? If you want a bonfire have it at Halloween where it belongs.
It seems like you axed something similar last year. I’m not invested in “Guy Fawkes night” one way or the other. However, i’m big on freedom. People should be free to celebrate or not celebrate according to their own beliefs and values. Taking away the rights and privileges of law abiding citizens because of the behavior of criminals is wrong on every level. It’s gateway fascism, and it’s been in the playbook for a long time. US democrats have been employing this exact tactic for decades now. They let violent criminals run amok and then they use the crimes that THEY are solely responsible for to legislate against law abiding citizens who vote differently from them. It’s the entire basis for 100% of their anti-2A agenda and gun grabbing policies. Just leave law abiding citizens alone and crack down on the vandals and criminals who break the laws. It really is that simple.
I think it is a sign that the low status people can make an impact on the ruling classes. If they had been successful it would have been a truly different world.
It is also unfair to animals who don't have a clue and get scared about the noises and flashes.
Not really. They should limit the fireworks and bonfires to organised displays. Make it so you need a licence and the time & location of the display in order to buy fireworks, so the local thugs can't get their hands on them.
I loved it in Australia till they banned it when some kid blew off his hand and blinded himself.
Used to make a paper machete Guy , burn the fcker and throw high powered crackers at unsuspecting individuals.
Good clean sensible sport.

Nah, they want it to end as the public will do the same to them soon enough especially with the banning elections and legalising paedophilia
The government are seeking the eradication of Britain firstly via changing evens then the flag and eventually the industrialised genocide of the population

I'm from the US so I'm not familiar with it. Is Guy Fawkes Night a government recognized holiday?
Yes it is but we don't get time off work
I thought killing the king/queen and become new one is innermost desire of every Brit. Celebrating a failed attempt is somehow off.
I support bonfires and lighting things on fire just for the hell of it. I don't need an excuse from 1605 to do it...
It sounds like a lot of fun, until somebody loses an eye
Will you throw out the migrants who are ruining your country and the globalists who've imported them? If not, then it should die.
No. Just punish the thugs.
I like V for Vendetta
I guess so
