V for Vendetta in 2038 is eerily similar to what's happening right now. The UK is slowly turning into a surveillance state with all of the biometric scans and digital ID that the government is trying to organize. Oh, and don't forget those facial recognition cameras that are popping up in public places throughout England and Wales.

    Also they predicted conservatives would be the ones implementing this oppressive government while shouting about God and immigrants pretty well.

    Tbf, that's been a thing for a long time now. Still feel much freer living here than the US.

    But if we're giving it a generous timeline of accumulating effects, then yeah I'd say 2038 is probably accurate for when the other shoe finally drops lol

    Democracy in the UK is already kind of dying. At this point the UK government is just doing whatever they want (such as laws which weren't on the manifesto) and completely ignoring the people when they petition against it.
