On this of all days I am concerned about the treatment, approximately 400 years ago, of the so-called "traitor", Guido "Guy" Fawkes.
It would appear that Guido was brainwashed by a cell of well-off religious fundamentalists into launching a terrorist attack on the English government. Although there is a certain amount of circumstantial evidence (i.e. he was found in the cellars with a load of gunpowder), there is a distinct possibility (i.e. the government admitted it) that Fawkes may have been tortured to obtain his confession.
We are calling on the Government to investigate, and for Gordon Brown to issue an apology immediately.
In other news, we're really looking forward to Bonfire Night. We're using Jedward as twin guys this year.
