some twonk wrote in a local rag "why celebrate a terrorist"(nov 5th),referring to guy fawkes as a terrorist of course-but the dippy bint does not realise we are celebrating the capture and execution of guy fawkes and his buddy's not the act they were trying to carry out.

Its celebrating the fact that there's fireworks available in sainsburys!  I've still got some fireworks left, looking for a nice night to go down the park and fire 'em off.

Is this still the case for the majority of Britons? Because I get the sense that he is also seen, by some, as a bit of a (anti-fascist) folk hero. Alan Moore didn't develop the "V" character out of whole cloth...

In the States, my peers thought of Guy Fawkes as a Brit anti-hero. Well before "V" was ever conceptualized.

Of course, we were going to take over change the world as well...
