Come back Guy Fawkes - All is Forgiven

I'm sure you recognise the image above. It is the famous (or infamous - depending on your point of view) Guy Fawkes who was born in Stonegate, York on 13th April 1570, and baptised in St. Michael le Belfry (which stands across the road from York Minster) on 16th April 1570.

His claim to fame was that he tried to get rid of unpopular Members of Parliament by attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Now as I see it we have an enormous number of very unpopular Members of Parliament, due to the fact that they have been "dipping their fingers into the till"/"sticking their snouts into the trough" or whatever euphemistic phrase you care to employ. All I can say is it is a good job they were not around in November 1605, or they could very well have faced the threat of exposure to explosion.

If you've got the gunpowder Guy, I've got the matches!
