    That’s because Guy Fawkes day actually celebrates the fact that he failed in his plot and the monarchy and establishment was allowed to continue. It commemorates the failed 17th-century plot by a group of English Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Somehow it’s been twisted backwards in recent years but make no mistake, the country that gave us Guy Fawkes day would burn the wrong ones.
