Its an celebration of a pretty evil empire really - Guy Fawkes was a left-wing terrorist in times when people had cause to really bitch about the state.

first off, depending on which account you believe he was either like adam said OR guy fawkes was the idiot who got too pissed and got caught and got the entire blame for the gunpowder plot, his role was supposed to be very insgnificant and the rest of the people involved got away. I have no idea of the truth.
second, there are displays everywhere and some families have do's in their back gardens etc but to be honest the fireworks are available for ages before and all the kids just let them off willy nilly for weeks before and its like a fucking war zone round our way for ages.
