Just ignore the nationality of this apparent intellectual giant (although I'm sure someone will make note of it) and explain to me just how schnockered you would have to get...

OK, OK I have a bigger question.

traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century

There is a holiday for basically a terrorist act? What am I missing here?

 

[Matt Greatorex]

A) It isn't a holiday
B) It's a celebration of the fact that he failed and was killed in a particularly gruesome manner. Hence effigies of him are burned.

It's when we celebrate the capture and defeat of one of those new fangled terrorist type people. Can you imagine how the Americans would celebrate if they caught Bin Liner?
It's not important enough to have a holiday by the way

Interesting: For 400 years, bonfires have burned
on November 5th to mark the failed Gunpowder Plot.
