Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night is the night where United Kingdom and some parts of the Commonwealth commemorate the “Gunpowder Plot” of 1605, which was the failed assassination of King James I of England and VI of Scotland and most of the Protestant aristocracy by blowing up the Houses of Parliament during the State Opening on 5 November 1605.

The attempt failed and the person who was placed in charge of it’s execution, Guy Fawkes was arrested a few hours before the planned explosion, during a search of the cellars underneath Parliament which was prompted by an anonymous warning letter.

To be honest I am not that keen on Bonfire Night. Now that a lot of the large organised bonfire night events have been stopped here in the UK, the night to me means danger, kids playing with fireworks, stupid adults now having their own displays in the back garden of their houses, lots of burns to both people and animals.

It just seems like a nightmare. Although fireworks are really beautiful when handled properly by expert people who know what they are doing.

I am not saying that I don’t like to look at the gorgeous firework displays, just from the safety of my house will do me just fine Thanks!
