Citizens Repent!
Nov. 3rd, 2005 09:02 amCitizens. This year is the 400th anniversary of Mr. Fawkes rather splendid plan to flatten parliment.
I regret to inform you that under the new terrorist legislation before parliment, fireworks at this time of year will be considered 'glorifying terrorism'.
I would urge you all to go and turn yourselves in, for your 90 day sojourn with neither charge nor trial. Clearly any thoughts of such a celebration are ungood thinking, and must be corrected.
(And I'm only half joking. I wonder if half the country showed up at the nearest police station to 'turn themselves in' for glorifying terrorism, that might make the point)
Edit: Another thought just crossed my mind. Would a 'war of independance' count as an 'act of terrorism'?
