Given these times, yeah, they wouldn't want to encourage knowledge about this guy!

"York Journal: Guy Fawkes Is Spared, and England Is Restive' " by SARAH LYALL

YORK, England, Nov. 2 — Deep in the bowels of the York Dungeon, visitors were being treated to a dramatic rendition of the horrific torture and bloodcurdling screams of Guy Fawkes, the city’s most famous deceased resident....

York would not be sponsoring a traditional fireworks celebration for Guy Fawkes Night on Monday....

Remember, remember, the fifth of November!


York, along with many other municipalities, has often been the scene of huge events — fireworks, bonfires, the burning of creepy effigies of Fawkes — to commemorate the failure of Fawkes’s plan to blow up Parliament and the king in 1605, a shocking moment in British history. But in the face of increasingly onerous regulations, none are taking place in the city this year....

Many residents think it is perverse not to have an official Guy Fawkes celebration in Guy Fawkes’s hometown.... The decision has made things awkward for the York Tourism Bureau, which likes to play up the city’s relationship to Fawkes.

Gillian Cruddas, chief executive of the bureau:

We get hundreds of calls from people saying, ‘We want to celebrate Bonfire Night in the home of Guy Fawkes, and what are you doing?’ We have to say, ‘Actually, nothing.’ It’s quite embarrassing, really.”

The Slough Borough Council, which decided not to have a bonfire this year.... have argued that a bonfire would violate environmental laws, upset residents from foreign countries with no tradition of Guy Fawkes Day and kill animals that settle into the wood before it is set alight and are unable to escape.

Globalists will push anything to kill a spark of resistance!


And since when were the English worried about the feelings of foreigners?

They mean Muslims?

Yeah, don't want any of your MI5 assets to be getting any unauthorized ideas, do ya?
