Thanks for the two versions of the rhyme. I think they are fascinating.
We don't include in this ritual homage the other members of the gunpowder plot group. Whilst Fawkes is historically said to have been the ringleader, he was not working on his own. Perhaps it is down to economics, one guy is cheaper and represen more…
Please to remember the fifth of November gunpowder treason and plot

Yeah, we are celebrating the burning of a bloke who failed in a mission that at the time, half the country, if they had known, would have wished it a success. Now there's a paradox.

Absolutely, and in a so-called educated and civilised society. But then, if it wasn't, could such repugnant manipulation of children and misuse of services have ocurred? more…
The adults are certainly playing dubious games, it's their influence on the kids that take my primary concern. Let's face it, no kids, no panic situation; what a way to use children in a so-called educated and dare I say it, civilised society. more…
