From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."
Peroration from Robert Jenrick’s speech at the Roger Scruton conference today:

“In the words of George Orwell, ‘nothing ever stands still. We must add to our heritage, or lose it. We must grow greater or grow less. We must go forward or backward.’ I say, let’s go forward.”

The justice secretary has no good choices – but releasing IPP prisoners should be one. It would end the short term prison crisis & one of the most monumental & cruel injustices of the past half century

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Private equity reduces patient healthcare, enriches investors, US Senate report finds.

Cuts staffing/wages, profiteers, neglects investment, harms patients.

Yet UK handed, social care, GP surgeries, NHS to PE.

30%-40% of money vanishes in profits.

End the scam.

Agree, it also doesn't fit conventional / traditional models in terms of us defending it. Despite working in the Internet since 93 I'm coming hard down at serious regulation being the only answer. US gun laws stay in the US. We shouldn't have to accept US social media being used to damage us here.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR

Let him know he’s wrong by sharing this widely
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath
