Would a modern day Guy Fawlkes using modern day materials be stopped.?

Answer 1

yes hes a terrorist, i cant beleive we still salute him. it should be banned. if osama or saddam did this we would be in uproar. we are so stupid in this country. apart from the muck we spread into the atmosphere with silly fires and fireworks that end up in pensioners letterboxes. this country has gone to pot. our religion is to blame for letting things get this far. if the religious attitude from back then was here now we would not be in the crisis we are in now..... and balls to you good doers and sympathisers!!!!!!

guesswest.... we celebrate him you gonk, we glamourise terror kids think hes a hero who should never have been caught. what message is that giving out. do you want kids begging with osama dummies on st corners asking for cash every sept 11th??

Answer 2

What do you mean by a 'modern day' Guy Fawkes using 'modern day' materials? It's not very easy to get underneath parliament, so it's a case of what plan/materials you're talking about.

It'd have to be much more clever than 'a guy with a bomb tiptoeing about' tho - there's sophisticated security all around parliament. I'm sure it's theoretically possible.

Edit: Chopps, you idiot, we don't salute him, we symbolically burn him on a ******* fire. The whole point of Guy Fawkes night is to celebrate him failing, he's meant to be the villain not the hero.

Answer 3

Actually one of Fawkes co-horts, Frances Tresham it is suspected, ratted him out and he was captured under the Parliament with many bundles of brush under which were hidden the kegs of gunpowder. He was tortured then hanged. As a popular rhyme says:

Remember, remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
We know of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Whether or not a modern Guy Fawkes would be stopped would be dependent upon many circumstances and the target intended for destruction.

Answer 4

I believe each little thing you reported. Hitting the main vulnerable in society is like robbing the blind. those human beings might no longer be the main worthwhile employer, yet they're doing their ultimate to earn their place in society. what's ultimate, that their employer makes a huge earnings, or they earn adequate to conceal the expenses of the employer and experience needed? that's like them last adolescents centres, then getting extra vandalism. Or sacking tax creditors and sales fall. This government are idiots. I went on the "March for the alternative" final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, however the government nevertheless skipped over 500000 people who have been there. there'll be yet another march interior the fall.

Answer 5

Of course not! He would probably waltz past all security carrying a large suitcase full of high explosive by saying he was a Betterware salesman! With the dimwits we have in parliament I'm not sure I would want to stop him anyway!!

Answer 6

The mortar attack by the I.R.A on Downing Street (not sure when) is a recent example. Doubt they would let out the cellars underneath parliament again though.

Answer 7

Would have not been to get that close to re-enact the Gunpowder plot in modern days due to road blocks.

Answer 8

Well, look at the World Trade Center. Granted it wasn't a governing body, but no one stopped those guys.

Answer 9

That's such a vague question with so many variables. Who knows? All I know is I hope a modern day GUY FAWKES (no L) would succeed.

Answer 10

He wasn't. While "he" did not use gunpowder, "they" did use air planes to bring down two of the tallest buildings in the world.
