1812...

[edit]

1812 was the year Spencer Percival was assassinated, the only british prime minister to ever be assassinated. The use of the 1812 overture is, in part, a sly reference to assassination of the leader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.30.174 (talk) 00:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you get some third party source material for this? It doesn't seem to belong here anyway. It would be better suited for inclusion on the article on the V for Vendetta graphic novel. Also, Alan Moore has stated he chose the song simply because it sounded thematically "revolutionary." He does not mention any reference to the assassination. --Cast (talk) 16:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
