This is why at a Guy Fawkes celebration they burn him in effigy. Often, they burn an effigy of the pope as well. That's not a "commemoration" in the sense of a celebration. Guy Fawkes Day is a very Protestant, somewhat anti-Catholic, and very anti-terrorist kind of holiday.For some people, the only thing they know about Guy Fawkes is what they saw in the movie "V".

They accomplished 170-some years later what Guy Fawkes couldn't - an overthrow of the rule of the English monarchy.
Treason against tyranny is loyalty to liberty.
