* Channel4\\\'s game \\\'\\\'[[http://www.thecurfewgame.com/ The Curfew]]\\\'\\\' is meant to be a look at the oppressive checks and Orwellian surveillance instituted in a hypothetical UK in the year 2027 by the Shephard party, where most are legally bound to be in by 9PM, and immigrants have to earn \\\"citizen points\\\" before becoming citizens, or moving from citizen Class B to the privileged Class A. The player\\\'s job is to listen to and play through the stories of the four people they\\\'re stuck in a hostel with so they can figure out which to give information that might topple the ruling regime. While the question of what human and civil rights are and should be is an interesting one, the event that propelled the party into power was a major, catastrophic nuclear attack on Great Britain, which had been preceded by a major economic depression. The titular Curfew is aimed at preventing another such attack.
It isn\\\'t much of a point when the measures taken don\\\'t help at all. The citizen tiering? How sit that supposed to do anything for security? Creating a caste system has nothing to do with making things more secure and everything to do with oppression. The best it does is cause any malevolent actors to spend more time undercover until they rise to Class A and decide now is a good time to plant another nuclear bomb.
The value of a curfew itself is questionable and it is the most legitimate part of it. Besides, when dealing with a nuclear bomb if a malevolent actor is at a check points then it is worthless because it is already too late given the very wide area of effect of nuclear weaponry.
