The Gunpowder Plot

Master of the Rolls (email) at 02:29 AM

I don't rise to speak here that often, but it is perhaps prudent for us to pause to recognise today, the 400th Anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, this commemoration can also be seen as an act of resistance against American Cultural Imperialism. So, if you like Imperialism, or you just don't like American Imperialism, it's all the same appropriate to celebrate Guy Fawkes Day, and hope that nobody tries to blow up this august house.
