I believe the UK celebration is to celebrate the plot's failure, especially as the perp's effigy is burned as part of the festivities. Thus, there is consistency: the celebration of a good outcome. I will not be celebrating this July 4th. de Tocqueville's admonitions have gone unheeded. The tipping point is upon us.

Of course, I just like pointing out the oddity of Guy Fawkes’ Day by phrasing it that way.
