Just a passing thought...

gonzaiI finally just saw the first two episodes of 'Spooks'/'MI-5' season five. OK, so I'm more than a year behind, sue me. And I'm quite distraught about Colin. But point being...
Scary stuff. It really would be easy to turn a democracy into a dictatorship (and I'm not convinced 9-11 wasn't an attempt to do just that, on a smaller scale than the conspiracy in this show.) The other thought I had was regarding the film 'V For Vendetta'; if the conspiracy in Spooks had succeeded, 'Vendetta' would have been the inevitable result. Just trying to make everyone paranoid, mind.
