The November 5th Campaign
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
Guy Fawkes & the Gunpowder Plot
Words of "Remember Remember" refer to Guy Fawkes with origins in 17th century English history. On the 5th November 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the government. He was tried by Judge Popham who came to London specifically for the trial from his country manor Littlecote House in Hungerford, Gloucestershire. Fawkes was sentenced to death and the form of the execution was one of the most horrendous ever practised (hung ,drawn and quartered) which reflected the serious nature of the crime of treason.
Fitting in with the traditions of the country we thought we would run a November the 5th Campaign
- We need as many people as possible to report treason to their local police stations on November 5th.
- We need as many of Her Majesty’s subjects overseas to report treason to your nearest Embassy on November 5th and ask them to forward your allegations to the Metropolitan Police in London.
- We need as many of the armed forces to report the treason evidenced to the Royal Military Police or your service equivalent on November 5th.
As well as the campaign above we also have some letters that have been circulating the UK all ready to be delivered to the Queen, guess when yes November 5th. The first is a letter to the Queen form Albert. The second is a letter we need everybody to sign endorsing Albert’s original letter.
If you would like to add to the letter then please do so.
We are printing out copies of Albert’s letter to go with the signed letters of others. We wish to collate as many letters as possible, so if you do have chance to print out your own letter or address and sign the template (if you can’t print out just let us know and we will aim to get some to you). Also can people get spouses to sign a separate one and any relatives, friends etc - we need as many as possible for max impact. Could you please send them to:
PO Box 1080
Digby
Lincoln
LN4 3NE
We aim to send a sackful of letters to Buckingham Palace on the 5th November.
Help the campaign by publishing it on websites if you can.Come on there should be thousands willing to help.
Bring the Traitors to Justice!
