    With the ethnocentrism of a failed Empire, an aged monarch who stood by and let the country tear itself apart, Brexit, and the S**t show that is the current British Parliament and government, Guy Fawkes shouldn't be burned in effigy, he should be considered the greatest hero England ever had.

      Utter rubbish lol Still one of the best countries in the world, infact the biggest problem now is trying to control the number of people trying to get here through any means necessary. Predictably Brexit had little impact, the world is far too interconnected nowadays. With numerous wars going on across the world, one at the other end of Europe, the UK is showing its ability to offer assistance. You should be embarrassed by this comment talking about celebrating mass slaughter, you should consider what morals you think you have.

      I used to cynically joke that Guy Fawkes was 'the only man ever to enter parliament with honest intentions...' because, of course, his intention was to blow the place to smithereens! But the truth is he was working for the Roman Catholic Church, and as such was really anti-democratic and pro-tyranny (i.e. theocracy). And, of course, a traitor to his own country.

      Even as a teen I thought we were celebrating him. It just seemed fitting the common peasantry would celebrate an attempt to blow up parliament, and it just became a tradition. But no, the tradition is that time we cut a dude to pieces and sent him to numerous places so we could do stuff to the pieces of human, including burning.
