Million Mask March protesters in Guy Fawkes masks clash with police outside Parliament on Bonfire Night

@Forgetmeknot i will never understand why people support a catholic fundamentalist as a figurehead for protests like this

@PinkPunk Apparently "operation vendetta" is an anti government, anti establishment, protest I'm guessing inspired by the film "V for Vendetta" This year it was anarchists and anti-vaxers.

Guy Fawkes tried to blow up parliament, I guess he's an inspiration for anyone who feels similar, and Catholicism doesn't have anything to do with it anymore.

Also it's a cool mask 💁

When I was kid I could never work out if we were celebrating whether he tried to blow up parliament or whether we were celebrating that he failed - I still don't know for sure 😂
