The problem is that GFN is already diluted into near meaningless. You get fireworks all the time for about 10 days from 31 Oct, albeit with a peak on Nov 5. You also have fireworks on and off for about two months, with every Tom, Dick and Harry letting them off whenever they feel like it, plus the foreign celebrations like Diwali. Two month of fireworks is an absolute pain, it should be restricted by law to a couple of dates, including 5 Nov and only those dates.
Rubbish the reason Guy Fawkes night is dying out is because of the competition with Diwali. My neighbourhood has firework’s going off left right and centre. Halloween is also dying out I had one child knock my door and I had no sweeties so I nipped out and got two boxes of celebrations. Not one kid came round after that. Today I went on the Pro Palestine anti genocide March and handed them out there. Went down like a house on fire
Guy Fawkes night also has a religious element, and some consider the loss of religious knowledge in recent years to that. Halloween is a recent American import, wasn't celebrated at all befire the 1980s.
@@paulgodden4974 I know but Guy Fawkes was about blowing up Parliment and Guy Fawkes and his mates were hung disemboweled and cut into quarters, where as Diwali celebrates the power of light over darkness.

I am a Roman Catholic. I was brought up in a Catholic family, went to a Catholic school and had a bonfire and a Guy on Bonfire Night during my childhood. I have never heard any Catholic complain about Gut Fawkes Night.
Ditto. We were taught at school in the 60s it was an anti Catholic celebration. Didn't stop us making bonfires. Besides we Celts were having Bonfires on November 1st Centuries before the Proddys usurped it and called it Guy Fawlks. Raise a drink to good old Guy. 🍺
The first thing the Prime Minister said yesterday was “Happy Diwali” at Prime Ministers Question Time. To all 1.7% of our population. Let’s hope he says Happy Bonfire night to the vast majority on 5 November, but I won’t hold my breath!

Diwali is celebrated for days and days around the same time as Guy Fawkes night. No doubt that when the ban is implemented, we will still be accused of defying the ban even though it will be people celebrating Diwali.
I am pissed off with the way we are losing our history, traditions, and identity. Make no mistake, we are slowly being erased from our own country. We must fight for what we believe in and put the great back in Britain, and get our country back.
I can still remember the tv advert Light up the sky with standards fireworks but the way things are going we may have more than just fireworks lighting up the sky.
You are still - so far - not outlawed from making our own fireworks *per se* - although no doubt certain legislation used for going after people like Guy Fawkes (but with more peculiar names) will be used to suppress such things!
Greenwich council have quasi scrapped the famous Blackheath bonfire as you say. The haven’t dared officially banning it, just every year the spoilsports think up a new inventive excuse to stop it.
Pretty sure it was Lewisham Council that ran the Blackheath fireworks? Unless it was both doing it in collaboration? either way both councils are scummy any way lol

@@godislove8740 Our British politicians are pathetically weak but that's the way our political system has become in Britain and its no surprise that the whole world is taking advantage of Britain.
Like many things, when we were children we did not know about the political message behind Guy Fawkes night. We just had a good community get together, and an excuse to have fireworks in the garden and eat seasonal food such as baked potatoes (cooked in the bonfire) and toffee apples. I can remember the excitement of the build up to it and the excitement on the night. It was basically just a late autumn festival for us. Why can't children today just enjoy this very English festival without the political background as we did. What is wrong with that?
When asked when Britain's national holiday was, I would always give Guy Fawkes Night as the answer: "Remember, remember the 5th of November, / Gunpowder, treason and plot; / For there is no reason / Why gunpowder and treason / Should ever be forgot."
Some of us never condemned him in the first place. Not that I am condoning the usage of vuolence, his reasons for doing away with the govt were weaker then than Catesby et al would see them nowadays.
I joined a discussion on banning fireworks. I mentioned Diwali and other religions/cults that used fireworks and was promptly banned. Seems that it was only the British traditions that were to be banned.
Im sick of the americanisation of Halloween. Its worse than ever this year. Ghouls all over the place. Lets get back to our own history and culture, its precious.
My Daughter revived Samhain (Sow-wen) two years ago. I'm making a shrine for my ancestors today, (old pictures, their trinkets, and food drink and candles) to celebrate it late tonite.
Andyhulme2274: Halloween is not American; it's the name given to a much older Celtic festival, Samhain, by the Christian church. Samhain was a fire festival that lasted throughout the darkest time of the year. It began at the first full moon AFTER the first frosts of winter, and was a time when the British Celts remembered and honoured their ancestors. Some of these traditions are still with us in the lighting of bonfires (believed to be a "boon" or boost for the dying sun) and Remembrance Sunday. What we associate now with Halloween, dressing up and carving pumpkins, is all based on this much older tradition and really has nothing to do with the Americans, except that they saw an opportunity to commercialise the Eve of All Hallows. You can read more about Samhain if you're interested, online.
Can there be multiple effagies? 2TK, Sadsack Kant, Rachel Thieves, the Swedish doom goblin, the EU commission, the entire WEF, the list could go on and on.
I do wonder how we all arrived at our advanced age, after all our parents keep cleaning products and washing powder under the sink in unlocked cupboards, we had playgrounds without rubber matting, climbed trees, made dens, walked to school even through the haze of 6th of Nov, and the 300 kids in my catholic primary, looked forward to Guy Fawkes, like every kid and manged not to develop a chip on our shoulders, what weird creatures we must have been. How great that the elites can show us how wrong we were.
Ditto. In the 1960s, we Catholic kids were rather proud of Guy Fawlks, even tho it was supposed to be an anti Catholic Celebration. Mind you I do recall a few children getting hands burnt, and worse. Couple of deaths I recall reading about.
It amazing (and by that I mean disgusting) how all cultures and traditions in Britain are protected and celebrated, pushed and promoted, except those of the indigenous people.

Can't agree. Enoch was always relevant. He just wasn't prepared to lie or compromise his beliefs to appease the gutless, self-serving politicians of the time.
There’s ALWAYS funding for pretty much EVERYTHING other than TRUE British History, particularly if it involves anything to do with the INDIGENOUS people of Britain
Though surely the government should approve of the Guy Fawkes night celebrations. They commemorate a group that was dissatisfied with the government getting caught before causing any damage... and then not enjoying their last few days alive very much. However, despite successfully thwarting of the Catholic menace, only 44 years later the political situation had deteriorated anyway... to a point when the country was ungovernable.
The point of Guy Fawkes night is that the disattisfaction isn't suggested, or hinted at. It's completely in your face, exactly as it should be! We were always taught that this is a celebration of Democracy. Some people might celebrate Guy Fawkes failure to bring down Parliament; others might celebrate the fact that he tried.
I am a Catholic and not one bit offended by firework night and I don't know any Catholic that is. There are fireworks all the time here in Peterborough because every time a South Asian Muslim wedding takes place they let the bloody things off.
listening to greatest hits radio today every now and then we heard happy diwali, last week end they did a special to celebrate black history month, they must come first it seems
"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries?... In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?" - Maurice Strong (First Director of the United Nations Environment Program)
But these industry’s haven’t gone away! They’ve just been moved to other countries ie China India etc ! So in the End Game nothing changes ! It’s just been shifted to another part of the world !!! While trying to destroy the industrial nations that were advancing it technologically to a clearer safer environment !
Ahh yes. In Australia when I was a kid there was Empire Day (or Cracker Night) to celebrate the British Commonwealth. The night was celebrated with burning of bonfires and setting off large amounts of fireworks by locals. Naturally it was banned some years ago after the usual media campaign about safety etc. Now the only fireworks 'allowed' are organised displays by the government as part of New Years Eve. But of course none of this has stopped huge amounts of fireworks set off during Eid celebrations - all illegally of course. Naturally the police have never taken action to stop it despite the usual blustering. And certainly never appear to have charged the suppliers of these fireworks. Don't let them do the same to Britain. Even if you let off only one firework - just to demonstrate contempt for "them" and their censorius ways.
My council is Dudley, this year they announced that the bonfire will not be taking place this year(and every year to come) citing lack of new pallets to burn!! The fireworks are still being set off and it is a brilliant display, they also said the fire disrupts the grassed area although the huge fairground rides and food Van's also RIP the place to bits. Some councillors are quoting the smoke is detrimental to health. As a 69 year old I feel that my youngest grandkids will not experience the once a year event like I did. What I have always thought is fireworks displays are the way to go and just ban the sale to general public because of the lunatics in society where I live be it Diwali, Eid, Palestinian demonstrators, birthdays the list goes on.
My mother always said penny for the guy was begging and she wouldn’t allow us to do it. All our guys had political faces on them before the street bonfire was lit.
My sister Pamela and I would make a Guy. My mother didn't want us going around asking "penny for the Guy". As she said it was begging for money. We would put the "Guy" into an old pram/buggy and take our "Guy" for a walk. After our walk on arriving home somehow or other the old pram seemed to have produced a tremendous amount of coins. People threw coins in the old pram as we passed by 😊.
Another great video Simon. Have you seen any clips of the new Sky "History" channel show: ""Gunpowder Siege"?? I never knew Robert Catesby was of African descent. Every day is a school day.
It doesn't stop Khan setting of thousands of pounds worth of fireworks on New Years Eve with the significant introduction of the notification thanks to his worthy self.
We were taught in our Catholic school in the 1960s, that Guy Fawkes night 5th Nov was an anti Catholic celebration. But it did not stop me and my mates celebrating. Collecting wood and old furniture and building a huge bonfire was the highlight of the year. Besides my old man told me Bonfire nite was originally a Celtic festival, celebrated on 1st of Nov. My Clan were/are Celts. We still build bonfires.
@@jimsimpson1006 That's the trouble these days: people are too risk-averse. “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”
Given that here in West London there are about two weeks of firework for Diwali, presumably these are being curtailed and banned as well…. Ahh thought not!
It's not the fireworks they're afraid of, it's the history behind the day. If Labour or the Tories have their way in 300 years the 7/7 tube attacks will become a national holiday.
Many places now mandate the usage of e-fireworks, which don't use explosives: they have proximity sensors so they wont deploy until people are 7m away. Then they accelerate slowly and produce synthesised son et lumière effects

Diwali is celebrated for days and days around the same time as Guy Fawkes night. No doubt that when the ban is implemented, we will still be accused of defying the ban even though it will be people celebrating Diwali.
We need a new Guy Fawkes to deal with this despicable government now.
I am pissed off with the way we are losing our history, traditions, and identity. Make no mistake, we are slowly being erased from our own country. We must fight for what we believe in and put the great back in Britain, and get our country back.
oh, calm down dear. Get a grip. Go and have a lie down. However would we manage to survive without fireworks.
Minority status, in our ancestral homeland, is now hurtling toward us. You're in denial.
You are exactly right. We must stand up for what we believe in.
I can still remember the tv advert Light up the sky with standards fireworks but the way things are going we may have more than just fireworks lighting up the sky.
The rate that Starmer is going forget Guy Fawkes night, try full-blown uprisings.
Every bit of British culture and history is being dismantled slowly but surely, can't anyone else see that 🤬
Oy vey.
Yes I can and it sickens me
You’re breaking the law if you notice or think it.
You are still - so far - not outlawed from making our own fireworks *per se* - although no doubt certain legislation used for going after people like Guy Fawkes (but with more peculiar names) will be used to suppress such things!
Agree totally, schools don't cover our history good or bad. UK education history is dire.

Well, Nigel Farage just went there. I don't think he's blotted his copybook yet.

The British hating catholic terrorist, you mean.
I mean, he was a religious sectarian terrorist but, ok.
Like many things, when we were children we did not know about the political message behind Guy Fawkes night. We just had a good community get together, and an excuse to have fireworks in the garden and eat seasonal food such as baked potatoes (cooked in the bonfire) and toffee apples. I can remember the excitement of the build up to it and the excitement on the night. It was basically just a late autumn festival for us. Why can't children today just enjoy this very English festival without the political background as we did. What is wrong with that?
When asked when Britain's national holiday was, I would always give Guy Fawkes Night as the answer: "Remember, remember the 5th of November, / Gunpowder, treason and plot; / For there is no reason / Why gunpowder and treason / Should ever be forgot."
COME BACK GUY FAWKES, ALL IS FORGIVEN!
The last man to enter that building with honourable intentions
Some of us never condemned him in the first place.
Not that I am condoning the usage of vuolence, his reasons for doing away with the govt were weaker then than Catesby et al would see them nowadays.
We need this man badly
We need Guy Fawkes to create 400+ by-elections next week.
YES, HE WAS AT LEAST ONE IMMIGRANT WE WELCOMED
I am reminded of H.L. Mencken's definition of Puritanism as "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere might be happy".

Those in power are afraid of what is coming to them.
Because traitors should always be afraid.

Im sick of the americanisation of Halloween. Its worse than ever this year. Ghouls all over the place. Lets get back to our own history and culture, its precious.
My Daughter revived Samhain (Sow-wen) two years ago. I'm making a shrine for my ancestors today, (old pictures, their trinkets, and food drink and candles) to celebrate it late tonite.
Halloween is American.
All that plastic rubbish making the CCP more wealthy.
@@andyhulme2274 It's Irish and has been Americanised.
Andyhulme2274: Halloween is not American; it's the name given to a much older Celtic festival, Samhain, by the Christian church. Samhain was a fire festival that lasted throughout the darkest time of the year. It began at the first full moon AFTER the first frosts of winter, and was a time when the British Celts remembered and honoured their ancestors. Some of these traditions are still with us in the lighting of bonfires (believed to be a "boon" or boost for the dying sun) and Remembrance Sunday. What we associate now with Halloween, dressing up and carving pumpkins, is all based on this much older tradition and really has nothing to do with the Americans, except that they saw an opportunity to commercialise the Eve of All Hallows. You can read more about Samhain if you're interested, online.

Luckily most people don't live in London and we don't give a toss what happens there.

I do wonder how we all arrived at our advanced age, after all our parents keep cleaning products and washing powder under the sink in unlocked cupboards, we had playgrounds without rubber matting, climbed trees, made dens, walked to school even through the haze of 6th of Nov, and the 300 kids in my catholic primary, looked forward to Guy Fawkes, like every kid and manged not to develop a chip on our shoulders, what weird creatures we must have been. How great that the elites can show us how wrong we were.
I hope the elites get smart.they are putting themselves in a bad situation.

@@candy-le4nh Would you like to come sit on top of our bonfire this year ?

Ditto. In the 1960s, we Catholic kids were rather proud of Guy Fawlks, even tho it was supposed to be an anti Catholic Celebration. Mind you I do recall a few children getting hands burnt, and worse. Couple of deaths I recall reading about.

Guy fawkes is quickly becoming relevant, just as Sir Enoch is.
Can't agree. Enoch was always relevant. He just wasn't prepared to lie or compromise his beliefs to appease the gutless, self-serving politicians of the time.
Enoch was right.
I'm glad the popish plot failed!!
Can't help feeling politicians don't want any references suggesting a dissatisfaction with the government.
Or Guy Fawkes that are effigies of Keir Starmer.
There’s ALWAYS funding for pretty much EVERYTHING other than TRUE British History, particularly if it involves anything to do with the INDIGENOUS people of Britain
Though surely the government should approve of the Guy Fawkes night celebrations. They commemorate a group that was dissatisfied with the government getting caught before causing any damage... and then not enjoying their last few days alive very much.
However, despite successfully thwarting of the Catholic menace, only 44 years later the political situation had deteriorated anyway... to a point when the country was ungovernable.
I can think of a PM and a mayor I would happily exchange for the guy!
The point of Guy Fawkes night is that the disattisfaction isn't suggested, or hinted at. It's completely in your face, exactly as it should be! We were always taught that this is a celebration of Democracy. Some people might celebrate Guy Fawkes failure to bring down Parliament; others might celebrate the fact that he tried.
I am a Catholic and not one bit offended by firework night and I don't know any Catholic that is.
There are fireworks all the time here in Peterborough because every time a South Asian Muslim wedding takes place they let the bloody things off.
What about the loyalist bonfires in Northern Ireland ?
From 30'000 years ago until the late Victorian age. However did we keep warm and cook.

We shall be having a very large bonfire and low noise fireworks in our garden for the family this weekend and we will all thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

I suspect there won't be any objections to fireworks in association to Diwali, though. Assuming such a thing happens in the UK.
listening to greatest hits radio today every now and then we heard happy diwali, last week end they did a special to celebrate black history month, they must come first it seems

"What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries?... In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?

Interesting history - the aunt was a teacher to and great friend of the Chairman - on her grave in China it is so written.
The saying "where is Guy Fawkes now that we need him?" has never been more apt.
Your audio could sound like an old radio but it remains one of THE best sounds you can hear in 2024
In Oldham, I can tell you the large Asian community has fireworks every night, and often into the early hours of the morning!
I loved bonfire night when I was a kid lots of excitement leading up to it as well.
Instead of putting Guy Fawkes on the bonfire I think we need to put this government on instead.
I've already made my Guy, he's wearing heavy rimmed NHS style glasses, has grey Brylcreemed hair and sports a very expensive suit.
Ahh yes. In Australia when I was a kid there was Empire Day (or Cracker Night) to celebrate the British Commonwealth. The night was celebrated with burning of bonfires and setting off large amounts of fireworks by locals. Naturally it was banned some years ago after the usual media campaign about safety etc. Now the only fireworks 'allowed' are organised displays by the government as part of New Years Eve. But of course none of this has stopped huge amounts of fireworks set off during Eid celebrations - all illegally of course. Naturally the police have never taken action to stop it despite the usual blustering. And certainly never appear to have charged the suppliers of these fireworks. Don't let them do the same to Britain. Even if you let off only one firework - just to demonstrate contempt for "them" and their censorius ways.
Well said.
My council is Dudley, this year they announced that the bonfire will not be taking place this year(and every year to come) citing lack of new pallets to burn!! The fireworks are still being set off and it is a brilliant display, they also said the fire disrupts the grassed area although the huge fairground rides and food Van's also RIP the place to bits. Some councillors are quoting the smoke is detrimental to health. As a 69 year old I feel that my youngest grandkids will not experience the once a year event like I did. What I have always thought is fireworks displays are the way to go and just ban the sale to general public because of the lunatics in society where I live be it Diwali, Eid, Palestinian demonstrators, birthdays the list goes on.
councils ok with funfairs and food vans the btrds get a cut kerching
We need him now more than ever !
My hearing isn't too good but I've never had problems listening to History Debunked, must be the eloclution lessons Simon had as a child!

My mother always said penny for the guy was begging and she wouldn’t allow us to do it. All our guys had political faces on them before the street bonfire was lit.
When I grew up it wasn't seen as begging but people donating money for fireworks lol.

My sister Pamela and I would make a Guy. My mother didn't want us going around asking "penny for the Guy". As she said it was begging for money. We would put the "Guy" into an old pram/buggy and take our "Guy" for a walk. After our walk on arriving home somehow or other the old pram seemed to have produced a tremendous amount of coins. People threw coins in the old pram as we passed by 😊.
Down with the insurrgents and the rebels. We will have no dissent in this land. Government is supreme. Obey your lord and master Sir Keir!

We were taught in our Catholic school in the 1960s, that Guy Fawkes night 5th Nov was an anti Catholic celebration. But it did not stop me and my mates celebrating. Collecting wood and old furniture and building a huge bonfire was the highlight of the year. Besides my old man told me Bonfire nite was originally a Celtic festival, celebrated on 1st of Nov. My Clan were/are Celts. We still build bonfires.
Guy Fawkes still celebrated in New Zealand

It's not the fireworks they're afraid of, it's the history behind the day. If Labour or the Tories have their way in 300 years the 7/7 tube attacks will become a national holiday.
Ohhh Dear! Surely not?
And the weddings.
Many places now mandate the usage of e-fireworks, which don't use explosives: they have proximity sensors so they wont deploy until people are 7m away. Then they accelerate slowly and produce synthesised son et lumière effects
Good morning! The sound is always fine.
Good morning! It's just that many comments and even some emails, have said that the audio is poor and getting worse.
Mics are probably fine and its the acoustics of the room that aren't. Wont sound bad to people actually in the room cos everyonrs brain nulls it out.
I believe Mr. Fawkes left an example as to how to answer your government on this point.
November 5 was my first wedding anniversary (you’d think I’d have recognized a bad omen, but I was very young). …I see no reason why that treason should ever be forgot!
