Orwell
Some say we live in Orwellian times – and they may not be wrong. I recently finished reading ‘1984’ and ‘Animal Farm’, George Orwell’s two dystopian classics, and while life is not quite so bleak (for most), some of his warnings against authoritarian rule clang like alarm bells today. Who can fail to recognise in incumbent political leadership the self-enriching behaviour of the dictatorial pig Napoleon and his subservient swine herd? Or the tactics of Big Brother in many governments and corporations, with their manipulation of the masses, fabrication of facts, thought police and doublespeak? Good governance is never guaranteed.
