UK Tax Serfs And The Orwellian State

There is debate about whether to erect a statue of Orwell outside the BBC but the latter has suggested apparently from an irony free zone that it would be too political.It would on the contrary be most appropriate.Orwell worked at the BBC and many think his novel 1984 was partly inspired by his time there.With its monstrous reach and omnipotent sway over the airwaves the BBC had and still does have more than an air of Big Brother about it.

Orwell of course was something of a prophet and both Left and Right lay claim to him with some justification on both sides but there is no doubt his predictions have been fully realised.UK tax serfs show alarming characteristics of Stockholme Syndrome -they love Big Brother.Snitching on one's neighbour to the State is standard practice and the Welfare Socialist State has produced an envy between people re taxation that the State encourages and benefits from.

As to the statue in question,Orwell himself an inveterate iconoclast would be smiling wryly at the thought of it but regarding location the BBC has to be the most suitable and it might give the employees of said Left wing behemoth pause as they enter the building to reflect about the need for intellectual honesty and integrity re their journalistic standards.
