as an american, i'm not intimately familiar with the celebration of Guy Fawkes Day, but i know the story of the gunpowder plot & all that.
just curious as to whether Guy Fawkes is still considered by most brits to be a traitor, or if people are more sympathetic to him now (i.e. the other side of the story being that he wasn't the ringleader but merely had the sh*t luck to be the one caught with the match in his hand). does anyone actually admire him nowadays, seeing as how people have become much less patriotic/loyal than in the old days?
