Guy Fawkes was a papist terrorist prick who got what was coming to him.
The irony with V for Vendetta is that in order to make the timeline work, you need to have the Labour Party win the election, and dismantle nuclear weapons in UK. IRL, the Conservative Party won, and they kept "the bomb". (You also need to have Ted Kennedy as POTUS.) Which means that, unintentionally, V for Vendetta tells why it's good to have Conservatives.
Also, V is based on The Shadow, who is a much more awesome character.
