The Gunpowder Plot, +402 Years
Monday is Guy Fawkes Day.Yikes! Parliament historians describe what happened next:
All the co-conspirators... were probably subjected to extensive torture which formed part of the punishment for treason at the time... The executions took place on 30th and 31st January (Fawkes was executed on the 31st) and included hanging, drawing and quartering. The heads and other portions of the conspirator's bodies were set up at various points around Westminster and London.Hence the traditional November 5th greeting, "Don't quarter me, bro!"

Something that isn't mentioned in the history books and is something that should never, never be forgot.
Is that in 1906 word had been heard that King James was rewriting the bible for the benifit for control over Britain and of future souls.
Nobody today sees this as a great crime or an act of treason against the human race. Royalty and the rich have used this evil book to confuse and manipulate millions.
Down with James and praise to Guido for trying to save us from the blood shed of the modern day crusades!
In future, let's put the king on the fire and while the sky explodes in colour, let us admire Mr.Fawkes,
the everyday man, who stood up and fort against these filthy tyrants and dictators.
