Well, it was so inept it's difficult to know what to describe it as, but I expect if one tried to re-enact it these days it'd be the Prevention of Terrorism Acts they'd bang you up under. And quite a number of the people associated with the plot did go on to get involved with Fawkes's lot.

And as I said, Patrick's a 15 year-old boy who's led a remarkably secluded (I won't say sheltered) life whereas AF's Will has knocked around a fair bit, including fighting in the Low Countries. It's always possible that when Ronnie gets back from Ulster (if he does) he might have a few useful points to make to Patrick about the dangers of unnuanced historical views, for a similar reason.
