Celebrate!

We have such a land rich in history and steeped in tradition.  But we’re losing our identity.  Over the past week we have an Halloween and Guy Fawkes night.  But which do we now acknowledge? 

Guy Fawkes born in York (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), belonged to a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 which has since been celebrated by fireworks.  Halloween a pagan festival popularised by American culture has sidelined this important part of our history.
