Guy Fawkes was tortured and executed for plotting against leaders who disregarded the will and the welfare of the people.

Now council leaders are planning to celebrate this event with a display of grossly loud super-fireworks. Thus disregarding the will and the welfare of the people.

Come back, Guy Fawkes. We need you.
