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
