The capture, torture and execution of a Roman Catholic terrorist is celebrated here by burning effigies of Guy Fawkes
Supposing Bin Laden or Abu Hamza were captured and then tortured and killed, would the authorities stop public rejoicing here in case Islam was upset? |

Was Mr fawkes a RC terrorist, really? If he wanted to blow up James 1, wasn't he a closet Catholic, or Roman Catholic.

Does any terrorist discriminate in pursuit of their overall objective? |

1. He converted to a Catholic.
2. He attempted to blow up Protestants including James I, however there were just as many Catholic Aristocrats at Parliament so if it would have happened according to plan there would have been a massive knock on effect.
anyway, he was rubbish, we love burning him, i even piss on him afterwards. |

It seems that the real instigater was A certain Mr Rob Catesby!
| Quote: | | Before the Gunpowder Plot, Catesby was involved with the Earl of Essex in the failed attempt to remove Elizabeth I from power in 1601. He was not executed because of his small role, but was heavily fined, costing him his manor house in Chastleton. |
You can just imagine him having to defend himself at trial and explain what role he played in Liz's 'removal from power'
welllll, I was going to drive the getaway erm, stagecoach?!
possibly after only being recognised for having a "small role" in this plot, he wanted to progress when the next monarch came to power?
sure enough>
| Quote: | | was the leader of the Gunpowder Plot. |
but, we've all grown rather fond of the name Guy Fawkes now!
so, although his role might have been significant, we don't really remember him.
Posterity rules!

also, did you know that Sir Walter Ralegh was also implicated as one of the plotters.?
So, off he went to the Tower. He was going to be executed, and although everybody hated him, they didn't want to loose him, so he was sent back.
He lived to tell the tale, but was imprisoned for some 15 years.
When released he was told (by James 1) not to go plundering Spanish ships, laden with rich cargoes/treasures/spices from the far east etc.
Sadly, once a Pirate always a Pirate was his motto, and he couldn't quit the habit.
(In those days there were no counselling sessions/therapy groups/patches to wear, nor self help books by Paul McKenna entitled "How to quit pirateering in 7 days").
...and so it was that Sir Walt got into conflict with some Spanish, returned back to England, and was beheaded
He seems to have fared a lot better than the 1st (or one of the 1st) colony of New World settlers which he abandoned in America though - they were all slaughtered (some very slowly) by local Indians!

It was in the book I just finished - i find it all so fascinating!
It claims that it was only thanks to Pocahontas, that the some English settlers had any chance there (although not all of them survived).
