The Government: Enjoy the next seventeen years while you can, because 2027 sounds like it’s going to be a real stinker. Setting their Alan Moore adaptation in the year of choice for cinematic doom-mongers, the Wachowski brothers present a Britain governed by totalitarian crazies Norsefire.
As well as imposing the usual fascist nastiness (ethnic minorities, lefties and homosexuals placed in concentration camps, constant propaganda churned out through state-owned telly etc.) they’ve also set up an extensive and invasive CCTV network to keep a beady eye on any potential troublemakers. Unhappily for them, they soon come up against one troublemaker who quite enjoys the attention…
Better than Labour? No. For all their faults, Labour have at least managed to keep the Houses of Parliament in one piece.

Erm...Runnning Man anyone? That film was eerily accurate. An old t**t running a show who think he's god (anyone?). Women fantasising about rape, wrestling stars turning into actors, people obsessed with reality tv c**p, media altering things to control ordinary people. It's all happening.
