This is changed from Moore's concept of the party flag being a blue 'N'
on a black field, and an 'N' or 'NF' being the only party symbols shown.
Not cinematic enough?

Sutler in the movie also keeps describing himself speaking as if he were
the leader only of England, which would be very peculiar even in a
fascist British politician, and even one who _is_ English and has scant
regard for the Welsh, Scots, and Irish.  (Creedy mentions to Finch a
devastating outbreak of the Norsefire engineered virus in Ireland.)

The much bigger problem:  The Wachowskis _really, really_ shouldn't be
allowed to write dialogue.  But yes, I like the film too, anyway.
