Can you explain to me the significance of this holiday?

I know who Guy Fawkes is and what he did, I'm just not sure why you are celebrating.

It says a lot about a country that can celebrate someone they beheaded for trying to blow up parliment.

Kind of like if the USA had John Hinckley Jr. day or something.

Oh, it's pretty much the same as your presidents day. We celebrate the life of a man who dressed in gay clothes and had a gay haircut who was a criminal.

Beheaded!! We aren't savages like the colonies…we simply executed him by the old "hung, drawn and quartered" method

John Hinckly Jr. is not a good comparison, Timothy McVie would be more accurate.

I wonder if they'll celebrate "George Dubya Day" In Iraq in years to come. He failed in his efforts to blow the place up too.
