Remember, remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I know of no reason
Why the gundpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Stated reason for the Plot was blow the Stuarts 'back to Scotland'. Sectarian tensions were part of it as well as nationalism

Remember, remember, the fifth of November, when a bad guy tried to blow up a political system

A dastardly plot is afoot to burn it all down by any means necessary. Sound familiar, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

@Beclfc I don't mind it too much.

We decorate the front room and use it as an excuse to watch a horror film and get a (very rare) takeaway.

I can't, however, remember the last time a saw anyone do #PennyForTheGuy. This was far more common when I was younger
