Here in the UK we have just celebrated Guy Fawkes night where fireworks and Bonfires are lit throughout the UK.  For the members who don't know why we celebrate this I will try and give you a little History lesson. In 16 09 Gut Fawkes was caught with 50 barrels of Gunpowder in the Cellars under the Houses of Parliament not only would of he killed the King of England James 1st but would have wiped out the entire Royal Family the Entire Government. The name Gunpowder  Treason and Plot was true and was led by a man called Robert Catesby he formulated the plot and planned it. Guy Fawkes was only brought in because he knew how to use Gunpowder History says the night before the Houses of Parliament were to open Fawkes was discovered ready to light the fuse. This plot was Concieved and planned by Catesby who was a Staunch Catholic and he wanted the Monarchy to change from Protestant to Catholicism. This would have changed England 's history if it was Successful. In the Tower of London even today the written statement is on view with 2 signatures one before Fawkes was Tortured to implicate the plotters and 1 before his Death. where most of the plotters were Hung drawn and quarted with there heads put on display outside The houses of Parliament to act as a deterrent to others.

Guy Fawkes was a psyop, GF and the plotters were setup to fail
and the UK celebrates the fact he was caught, not the attempt
that is why we burn (kill) the guy on the bonfire
they made a huge public display of what will happen to you
if you try to go against the Top Dog and the government

The mere fact that he was trying to murder the king and many others is irrelevant to the topic then.

The Reason for lighting the bonfire was for every town, village City was to celebrate the failing of the plot. One of the relatives of 1 of the plotters. was tipped off by a letter to warn him not to attend the opening of Parliament. If this letter was not written and passed on History would have changed. That's how close they came to changing the History of England hours.
