The Failed Gunpowder Plot

Halloween is over and the ghosts have gone to bed. The next thing on the agenda is the failed gunpowder plot where Guy Fawkes the silly clot went and got himself caught before he could blow up the dear old Houses of Parliament. Just imagine if he had succeeded what kind of place it would be, no more paying income taxes bleeding us all dry, no more scheming ministers fiddling their expenses. Then there is the problem of who would take over the running of the country. Royalty I can only guess, can you just imagine a King Charles and Queen Camilla. Not really, no, no, never. Guy Fawkes come back you silly clot all is forgiven and try again you silly sod only this time get it right, blow up the blessed treasury and bankrupt the blinking lot. 1 November 2009
