Orwell was right

[Andy @ Allerton]

In his predictions for 1984 - he was just 22 years too early.

 

I think we're nearly here now - the weekly stats of how well we're doing on the stock market against everyone else, the constant surveillance around the country, the introduction of ID Cards, the excessive control mechanisms that are being subtly put into place, the beginning on bans of free speech in public, the monitoring of private conversations - both telephonic and internet related, the reporting (And showing) of 'enemies of the state' killed as some kind of banner - and actually showing the dead persons face!

 

Read it again - compare it to where we are now - and it isn't too far away.

 

We just need a major war to affect homeland Britain to complete the story.

 

And when does 'hate hour' come in?
