yeah, the Brits don’t like Catholics. Oliver Cromwell and his round heads killed most of them in Briton and Ireland. Old animosities die hard.

Whereas many Scots and Irish claim that Guy Fawkes was "the only man who ever entered the Houses of Parliament with honourable intentions" (chuckle).

Much like the "American Revolution" (or was it "The Presbyterian Rebellion", as the event was called in England?), I suppose it depends on your perspective.
