The UK has been a living, breathing 1984 for a long time. Orwell is not turning in his grave - he is pissing himself laughing. I am now at the point where any day I fully expect the TV “licence” (read: BBC tax) to be used to make paid viewing mandatory always on 24/7, not unpaid viewing illegal. Full disclosure: I have avoided British Broadcasting Communism for many years with the same vigour as I avoid dodgy experimental gene serums.
