It was Guy Fawkes who was burned every year, he is not celebrated but despised

It’s weird looking from a British perspective on a video targeted at Americans. It’s so strange to see people not aware of who Guy Fawkes is

It’s weird because this was Popes day. Guy F was a radical Roman Catholic terrorist who wanted to destroy the Protestant Christian’s effort to have an English translation of the bible called the King James Bible.

There is no celebration of Guy Fawkes as a rebel. You are incorrect.

When I was young and growing up in England I thought every country celebrated BONFIRE NIGHT 🔥🔥🔥

And in my days, in North America.....No one in England celebrated Halloween...as they do in Canada and the US. Welcome to the "Americanization of Britain"....so very sad.

Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu of Boughton, my ancestor, was the person that called for Bon Fire Night to be made a holiday.

Loved doing penny for the Guy as a kid

Bonfire Night is NOT about celebrating Guy Fawkes. It IS about celebrating that his catholic-motivated terror plot was foiled.

Technically it's about whatever you want it to be. It's original purpose and reason is different to today's, especially since it became illegal to celebrate terrorism. Nowadays it's an excuse to entertain kids and big kids by legalised arson, ignition of assorted chemicals in cardboard tubes and to listen to music with added loud explosions.

@@personal4528 you need to reread your comment, and look for the contradiction. Celebrating terrorism could be celebrating one specific event, of many. 5/11 is about celebrating 1 act of terrorism. You tried to be pedantic, instead you proved my point more than your own. Furthermore it doesn't matter what it once stood for, it's no longer a celebration of anything, it's an excuse to have some drinks, have an outdoor party, burn some junk and lights some chemicals to create loud explosions and bright coloured sparks.

It is a shame that you didn't mention 'Penny for the Guy' either because this was pretty well explained. If my history is correct, King James actually became a better king because of this event (my memory of school might be a little distorted after twenty years lol).

Interesting! Thanks

I’m British and we celebrate this every year in England but guy Fawkes night does NOT celebrate guy Fawkes, it celebrates the fact his plot failed and the King and Parliament survived, for any Americans or other foreigners watching this please turn it off it is completely wrong!

Bonfire night can be a celebration of either the failure or the attempt. It all depends on your personal opinion of it. A vast majority of my family spend bonfire night cracking jokes about how its a shame he didn't succeed. (And no, we are not catholics, or even religious.) The way you celebrate bonfire night is not the way others do. Bonfire night doesn't really have a true meaning anymore, it can be whatever you want

Yeah - they got the opposite of their original intentions. But I understand the appeal of Fawkes, willing to give his life for the beliefs that were once legally enforceable during his own youth. And he still got the last one over the "protestant or die" King and country by killing HIMSELF on the actual scaffold - depriving them of the "satisfaction" of the gruesome 3 part death penalty they were planning.

Wasn't it the case that despite Guy's plot failing. Parliament did become better afterwards? I am Dutch, so my history might be a bit crooked, it's simply what I do remember from a very boring history teacher nearly 20 years ago. Lmao

Almost right....Guy Fawkes was not the man who made the plot. He was the first to get caught. He was in the group because of his knowledge of gun powder which he got when helping the Dutch fight.

Born June 19 1566 in Edinburgh Castle which makes him Scottish. He was know in Scotland as James IV but when Eliz 1st died he became King James 1st of England He was the first Stuart King of England. He did not know his mother (Mary Queen of Scotts) as she spent 19 years in Jail......Elizabeth put her in Jail. So he was saying to James go back to Scotland. The whole thing was all to do about Catholic and Protestants

Harry and Meghan even took away Bon Fire Night 😂
