Re: Fawkes

What we celebrate is a failed terrorist plot....and Fawkes, rightly or wrongly was convicted as the ringleader....his actual death was by hanging, drawing and quartering & then slung on the fire...but I guess no one wants to go to the trouble of bunging one trouser leg, then another, then an arm, etc on to the bonfire.....we're a little bit more civilised these days...
