I couldn’t watch it on Nov 5th, as usual…

It’s amazing how this movie gets even more actual every time I watch it:

Fourteen years earlier, Sutler, Secretary of Defence at the time, launched a secret project at Larkhill, which resulted in the creation of the St. Mary's Virus. Peter Creedy, the current leader of the Norsefire Party, suggested releasing the virus onto Britain, albeit through water route to avoid a pandemic. Targeting St. Mary's School, a tube station and a water treatment plant, the virus killed more than 100,000 people and was blamed on a terrorist organisation. Norsefire used the fear and chaos to elevate Sutler to the office of High Chancellor, win an overwhelming majority in Parliament, and profit off the cure for the virus.

Familiar, innit?
