Anyonne see V for Vendetta?
Near future Britain run by a totalitarian fascist party, a sort of latter day Oswald Mosley version of Britain meets 1984.
The world has gone to pot through enviromental crisis and America has collapsed into civil war, possibly due to biological weapons developed by the facist Norsfire Party which has taken control of Britain and made it into one of the richest and most powerful countries in the world.
Civil liberties and freedoms of all sorts repressed unless your a member of the new party. All sorts of bigotted propaganda being broadcasted on state media. No blacks, muslims, homosexuals or any other ethnic minorities in this version of Britain, and the Irish are once again repressed.
All sorts of themes and analogies, and many more noted by its many critics, while the hero is an odd but well spoken Erol Flynn type who wears a black cape and a Guy Fawkes mask.
