We need to find the original meaning again.

Instead of burning guy, who should really be a folk hero, we should be burning parliament.

I know Guy Fawkes is on the 5th. I said fireworks night is on the 11th July! Not the same holiday. Although we call it Bonfire night back home.

More noise in the evenings.

Bonfire night is the 5th, it is also colloquially known as fireworks night.

Personally I think fireworks should be banned except for during organised events.

DynamiX10 · 29 Oct 2010 at 17:05

well fireworks are on that day anyway, whatever people want to call it lol. A night for a good time.

All he was trying to do was get rid of a Protestant monarch and install a Catholic one. The flipping back and forth between Monarchs is some of the nastiest times in British history for civilians, if you didn't bow to the will of the installed Monarch (namely converting to their chosen religion) you were either imprisoned, or butchered. It wasn't until William Of Orange came along and got rid of James that the foundations of the modern political system we take for granted today could be laid with the Bill Of Rights, that gave the citizenship and parliament far more rights and control (and less interference from the Monarchy) over their country than any other Monarch before.

I know you're not, you're talking about some random night no-one else cares about or has heard of
