Do English Catholics Celebrate Guy Fawkes Night?

For some reason, Newfoundland (a Canadian province, independent till 1949) takes bonfire night very seriously and it's part of their traditions. I think after Britain, that's probably the place where it's most celebrated.

I thought glorification of terrorism was illegal now?

Just wondering, I know that here in Northern Ireland the very suggestion for Catholics would be unheard of, I'm actually not sure if Protestants here in NI celebrate 5th November either, anybody tell me?

We have bonfires on Halloween night instead of 5th Nov. Just to open this up, what do the English, Scottish, Welsh actually do on Halloween Night? Fireworks etc is it?Do you do trick or treating and then penny for the guy thing on 5th Nov?

Surely, Catholics celebrating Guy Fawkes Night would lack logic? Let's be controversial, is the celebrating of Guy Fawkes Night politically incorrect? lol

In a society were the death penalty is long abolished

It strikes of the Orange Order and the Battle of the Boyne.

I mean, for Christ sake you still can't be a Catholic and be Monarch - all it would take would be a piece of legislation transferring the head of the Church of England title to the Archbishop of Canterbury, sorted. Equality - my arse.

guy fawkeswas trying to free ireland from british rule. what about the mass murder for the last 800 year the british government did on the irish people

1) You are incorrect, some Catholics in N.I do celebrate the 5th of November as do some Protestants, it's a celebration and most don't care anymore about it's origins.

2) A lot of things the Catholics/Protestants do in N.I lack logic. Don't even bother mentioning what is and what isn't politically correct in N.I because the overwelming majority in N.I do not care, it's the very small minority hardliners that take these things seriously.

3) Why have you got the Republic of Irelands flag when you have stated above you're from Northern Ireland?

...what? Was any of that based in historical fact?

colinisation,

just one of these pseudo-irish folk due to the dodgy passport regulations operating between the UK and ROI then?

What on earth? Freeing Ireland from British rule was probably the last thing on Guy Fawkes's mind! He had no connection with Ireland (both sides of his family came from York) - his intentions, as were those of the other conspiritors - were to kill those who suppressed and discriminated against Catholics.

As long as you are born on the Island of Ireland you are without doubt Irish.

To be honest, you are one of those Pseudo-British people clinging onto an Island that really hasn't wanted you for the past 50 odd years but is **** scared to give you up. How must that feel? Idiot.

Don't care whether he did or not, do you realise that for at least 300 years 95% of the people of Ireland (Catholics) had neither the vote nor representation at Westminster.

You seem to be completely ignorant to the fact that atleast 99% of the entire of the British population would not have had a vote at this time - so comparatively the Irish catholics would have lived in a significantly more democratic environment.
