Very true. I've been reading a book on the Fire of London (1666). Back then the people were blaming the Dutch, the French, and the Catholics (Papists) for starting the fire. They even hung a man, Robert Hubert, a French Catholic for it, although his guilt has been discredited as the man was severely mentally and physically disabled. The fire actually started in Pudding Lane, in the bakery of Thomas Farriner. He was never charged or punished for it, but Farriner and his wife were signatories on the Court Bill brought against Hubert.
