This web site definitely has all of the information I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
I also grew up hearing the Tunnels and Terrorists version of the tale that you’re currently debunking.
Only…I’m not seeing why it sounds so silly by the last panel?
I thought, “Well maybe the House of Lords didn’t exist back then?” But Wikipedia tells me they did and, moreover, met in the same building they meet today (Westminster Palace), just in a different room.
I accept the tunneling story is false, but can you help me see why it’s also silly? I mean, it still seems at least a plausible version of the tale to me.
Well, someone digging a large enough tunnel all the way from a nearby house to under the House of Lords without getting noticed seems pretty silly to me.
I’m starting to think this comic may have gone on hiatus…
