The Fifth of November

"The Fifth of November" refers to Guy Fawkes Day, observed in the UK on November 5th. It commemorates the thwarted Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament to protest against the government. The event is remembered with bonfires, fireworks, and effigies of Fawkes. Over time, it has become a cultural tradition symbolizing the failure of rebellion and interference with government. The phrase is also famously associated with the poem "Remember, remember, the Fifth of November," which emphasizes vigilance against tyranny.
