    you’re asking me to provide evidence that something wasn’t going to happen.

    Yes, I am. Because you made a claim and that’s how the burden of proof works. It is not my fault if you made a claim you can’t prove.

    Actually, you have made multiple claims and have backed none of them up. Like how the British are lying.

    Of course, if you actually know what Guy Fawkes wanted, then you know he wanted a theocracy. Why you think it matters if he would have achieved it, I don’t know.

    Catesby and his co-conspirators had an ambitious but simple goal: dig a tunnel under the parliament building, fill the tunnel with gunpowder, set it off and murder the entire English government. Then create a Catholic theocracy by kidnapping the King’s nine-year old daughter and installing her as a Catholic queen.

    Do you really think they wanted a nine-year-old in charge?

    You are welcome to dismiss that, but it’s your claim that it isn’t true, so it’s up to you to back that claim up. It is no one else’s job to prove you are telling the truth, just yours.
