Was Orwell secretly a reactionary snitch? How the author became an internet meme and target of the hard left

I went vegan in 2016, so here is a pro-tip for anyone doing veganuary this year.
Eat rice and beans together *in the same meal*.
Its the most satiating combo out there.
Good for your waistline, your digestion and your budget 👌
