'V for Vendetta' is one of my favorite movies but there is one little 
mistake in the file I always get a kick out of. Adam Sutler as High 
Chancellor is also the leader of the British ultra-nationalist party 
Norsefire. Their emblem is the  Cross of Lorraine, as displayed as a 
black flag and a red two-barred cross. The Cross of Lorraine has 
traditionally been an emblem of France. Give the thousand year rivalry 
between France and Britain it seems odd that an ultra-nationalist party 
would choose the Cross of Lorraine.
