The most disadvantaged people in the United Kingdom are no better-off than they were 15 years ago, according to a new report, which finds a “yawning gap between those who can get by and those stuck at the bottom.”
That’s because Guy Fawkes day actually celebrates the fact that he failed in his plot and the monarchy and establishment was allowed to continue. It commemorates the failed 17th-century plot by a group of English Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Somehow it’s been twisted backwards in recent years but make no mistake, the country that gave us Guy Fawkes day would burn the wrong ones.
It always surprises me that the country that gives us Guy Fawkes Day each year hasn’t gotten around to burning any of the actual fucking traitors.
I can’t judge though we might re-elect ours.
