Rasputin,
Is that an Orwellism?
Mike Freeman.

Dibble,
can you give any Orwellian examples? If no you should read Orwell!
Mike.

Dibble,
"Politically correct" that means you have to be polite to other people and not hurt their feelings. Not such a bad thing! What?
Mike Freeman.

Hi Robches,
Thatcher had a bee in her bonnet about pornography and saw it as the propaganda of the "permissive society" or the "enemy within." Graham Bright was chosen to introduce the Video Recordings Act 1984 through the backdoor of Parliament ,using the wheeze of unopposing a Private Members Bill that had not been debated on the floor of the House.

Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse invented the Video Recordings Act after I smashed the OPA (Obscene Publications Act 1984) at the Old Bailey in 1983 Acquitted,after defending myself, by the jury of producing an obscene film the Videx Video Show. This film was hardcore and should have legalised pornography for adults in this county as it was a test case. All this could be proven by examing Bright's Bill and its causality under the Freedom of Information Act.

However this is digressing from Orwellisms is it not?

Why should the weak and cowardly rule the brave and the strong?
Mike.

Hi Milly,

By researching the events and motivations of those who engineered this Private Members Bill through the backdoor of the House .Using the Freedom of Information Act to expose what happened. Private Members bills do not have much chance of becoming law and it is unheard of that an undebated bill should become law as the VRA did.

It was a massive conspiracy. The only reason we had licensed sexshops was to make it appear that the UK allowed freedom of expression. Instead we had the most draconian censorship where images of the human body and the sex act were : deemed inherently obscene . The BBFC enforced the Home Office GOIL rule "glimpse of inner labia"!

As a pornographer I was treated as a terrorist by the Thatcher regime.
Mike Freeman.

Hi Peter,

Yes the citizen could do without the protection of the state against terrorism. The Prevention of Terrorism Act" is a true Orwellism as it causes terrorism!
A good example Peter.
Mike.

Mike, are you jesting? Is this a test? Hey, let me tell ya', during my early years at The University Of Life I was an avid 'Orwellian'. Yes, '1984', 'Animal farm', 'The Road to Wigan Pier' they were all on my hot book list. Regarding specific Orwellianisms, I guess the main ones are -

'Thoughtcrime.'

'Doublethink.'

'Thoughtpolice.'

'Ignorance is strength'

'War is peace.'

And of course 'Newspeak', which was the official language of Oceania, whose purpose was not so much to express meanings as to destroy them. This was accomplished by drastically reducing the number of words in the English language in order to eliminate ideas that were deemed dangerous and, most importantly, seditious to the totalitarian dictator, Big Brother and the Party.

"Politically correct" that means you have to be polite to other people and not hurt their feelings. Not such a bad thing! What??

Yes, an ostensibly groovy idea, laced with progressive new age cosines, idealism and the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. But hold on a minute. What about all the stupid, ugly, feckless, scumbags? What about kiddy fiddlers and low IQ sociopathic murderers? What about wasters, chavs, neds, wild-eyed, Kalashnikov toting religious zealots and incompetent, psychotic, African despots? Hey, we don?t want to be polite to these fuckers, do we? Shit, we actively want to hurt their feelings (and maybe a little more). We certainly don?t want to encourage them and validate their useless, negative or otherwise repellent traits, now do we? T?fuck wiv ?em, I say! In a rational world the ?politically correct? thing to do would be to slag ?em off, big style. Make like uncomfortable for ?em. That way, folks in the wider community would endeavor not to be like them, because it would be a thoroughly uncomfortable position to be in.

I?d like to leave you with the words of Dr. George Gaetano, a communications professor at Hamline University. "This (political correctness) is a way of using words to disguise some harsh realities, to make us feel better about something we shouldn't necessarily feel better about."

UKIP are very depressing people generally...

Under the guise of waving the Union Jack and 'backing Britain'- ok so far- they would cut us off from all that is good, liberal and progressive in the rest of Europe. They would also- and they don't talk about this much- severely restrict or even abolish the Scottish and Welsh administrations.

It would be back to 1959 with them- with child abuse pushed under the carpet and hypocrisy run riot.
