Question

Uncle Joe: That was quite funny - double thumbs up plus good in fact.

I agree Jiillion sing but it wasn't the orange tree - now you have me thinking - what was the tree and why did Orwell choose it!

Answer 2

Lack of imagination. They are too lacking in the ability to come up with solutions - maybe cos they don't pay so well?
There's more money to be made out of misery - Thatcher taught that to every bleeding economist and none dared argue. Since then Labour have copied, copied, copied every damn blasted move the conservatives in their gross stupidity made. Don't ask me why the people in this country kept on voting for more of the old, old tyranny bordering on dictatorship approach to politics... so there you have your answer- BETRAYAL under the orange tree - there you sold me and I sold you... that's capitalism for you. And "new" labour are capitalists.
(There are a few exceptions EG. Tony Benn - he's a real sweetie).

They have to get us to the point where Airstrip One can be successfully completed by 16 yo volunteer national service workers, ready for Air Force One to land on.

Hard Labour are now even being advised by the Tories backroom boys who have inveigled their way into Big Brother Brown's good books.

Proles: Live for today. You'll never again have it so good.

Answer 4

You're right. Why don't they just take a ' risk assessment ' of babies in the womb according to their parents D.N.A make-up and then just order an abortion, thereby saving on prison space in the future.....oh dear! should i have said that?... it might be in their next manifesto!!
