Guy Fawkes is supposed to be celebrated?

Guy Fawkes Day is a British Holiday, were they would burn Guy Fawkes in effigy and stuff like that. I don't think it is really that important of a holiday anymore, but some of our members from the UK might be able to correct me if I'm wrong.

Guy Fawkes Day - or 'Bonfire Night' as it seems to be increasingly better known as - still attracts large crowds to organised bonfire and firework displays. The dressing a guy up (aka 'penny for the guy') isn't that popular anymore.

I suppose the actual day still a popular event on the calendar - but doubt many people could actually tell the story of what the whole thing is about. It certainly isn't taught in history in schools - probably be offensive to those who like going around blowing things up
