I've watched with great alarm over the past 10 years as Britain has rocketed towards Orwell's 1984:(
He must have seen something authoritarian in the nature of the country all those years ago to have so accurately predicted what is happening even if he didn't quite get the technology right..although he almost did.
The reason this didn't happen many years ago is that we have never before allowed a socialist government to be in power for this long. Technology now allows for many new ways to opress and control the people, but the main principles have always been a part of authoritarian/control freak governments.
