Senate House in London which was Orwells inspiration for the ministry of truth in 1984.

The money for the building was provided by the Rockefeller foundation

Spent hundreds of hours in the library there when I was a student.

On GB News early this evening the presenter quoted George Orwell during a mention of the latest censorship of PG Wodehouse. Jacob Rhys Mogg spoke up against censorship and was repeatedly 'challenged' by some 'pro censorship' woman who sounded like a real pain ... it's so common to hear these discussions now, I suppose in a few years time some will know no different. 

 

They spoke of the N word. In my memory that's where all this BS started. Give them an inch ... as far as I can tell. 

 

I would imagine that this is part of what is making people ill. No expression, no creativity. 

 

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been re-written, every picture has been re-painted, every statue and street and building has been re-named, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped."

Correct. I used to work in an office and it was a bit like the premier league. Minnows (up from a division/office juniors) always were asked to make the coffee or photocopy a useless peace of paper.

 

Temps got it worse. Never invited to their Christmas parties or summer outings. There was bullying...wolf of wall street style. I constantly got called a "jock" because of my accent. 

 

I see parallels between those who climb to the top through lies and deceit and those who grin and bear it.

 

These sneaky barstewards are everywhere. Didn't do your tie properly, you're not goin  to be in our inner circle

 

Thank the Lord I quit that insurance company a month after 9/11 happened. Shame I didn't know a good lawyer to sue the you know what through mental health issues.

 

Orwell was right. 

Mate, you're with friends now👍 my friend's daughter in law is on the sick right now, due to office bullying, she already had a worrywart type disposition, and since going to work there six months ago she was picked on by the 'Catty crowd' because she was 'The Newbie'!
