It's a book by George Orwell. Carries strong parallels with modern western Britain. Worrying ones.

Oh, DUH. I've heard the same thing about this country. neutral I want to read that book now.

Seriously, do.

I cannot recommend it highly enough.

It's a great book, definitely one that should be read in your life time, at least. It carries such a profound message on what could happen. Has anyone read Brave New World too? *shivers* Our society is slowly falling into those rose tinted glasses... But to be unable to love? *shivers*

This is what Blair said in his first speach as Prime Minister:

Quote:

This generation will be the first generation to not know war.

Hypocrite! Mr. Blair, I hope your conscience is never quiet. Yes, chief of police Blair too.

Eurgh. War. Yes, I know there were reasons but I still don't like it. xp

Well, there are very good reasons for it, but not so much for Iraq. And no excuse for the outrageous incompetence of it all.

I think that there were good enough reasons for Iraq, but Blair seemed to overlook them and flag up some other unconvincing twaddle.
