    No Joke, I thought V for Vendetta took place in just slightly exaggerated UK.

      It did!

      Alan Moore wrote it as a rather pointed excoriation of Thatcher's Britain

      It's one of the reasons that Moore distanced himself from the film, because he believed that it made the story too broad to actually have a point

      I don't disagree with him on that
