Once I went to the BBFC it was in the same building in Soho Square, surrounded by illegal bookshops where you could buy the latest American hardcore films. I looked a the brass plate outside and I notice that it no longer said the British Board of Film Censorship but now said the British Board of Film Classification! As a filmaker whose favourite genre was porn I knew just how draconian the cutting crew were! If you wanted a certificate that was. They had an anacronym: goil which meant "glimpse of inner labia!" (goil was simply excised) Since every viewer except a few perverts wanted to see "goil" then it was rather difficult to earn a living, honestly without paying Old Bill!

The above experience illustrates an Orwellism. Orwell said that Big Brother changed the meaning of phrases and words into "double speak" when they became the opposite of what they originaly meant!

The Ministry of War became the Ministry of Defence a long time ago but I wonder if you have noticed any Orwelisms?

Okay everyone is ignoring this post which i think is very important so i will give you another example:
Standards trading officers were originally meant to ensure that the public gets what they want. Now they do the opposite by sending off a cheque for an unclassified film. This is used against the distributor as evidence of breach of the VRA 1984. Thus ensuring that a member of the public is prevented from getting what they ordered!!furious!

This is another example of the Big Brother authoritarian state that we are living in.

Other examples would be appreciated.

Few people are commenting, Mike, because (apart from it being too hot to type) we know all this. You?re just stating the obvious. If you want to do something about it you?ve got to start saying 'Fuck off New Labour, fuck off public sector, and generally fuck off dour, earnest, middleclass intellectuals. Yes, middleclass intellectuals. You know, all those handwringin' knobs who imbue themselves with a divine righteousness and moral superiority and then, with the unabashed zeal of the loony, seek to impose their middleclass morality on everyone else - particularly the ?misguided? lower orders, to whom they (unconsciously) feel well superior.

So, if you want to do anything about the people who are infringing your liberty, Mike, you?ve got to start telling ?em to naff off, at every opportunity, and furthermore, get everyone else to do the same.

You've reminded me, Mike.

In 1984, all of my favourite horror films suddenly became illegal, due to a twat of an MP named Graham Bright (Liberal, I believe - how ironic is that?).

Thankfully, I was eventually able to acquire copies of every movie on the banned list. Some of them I don't even like, but I had to get the lot just to stick two fingers up, so to speak.

"The above experience illustrates an Orwellism. Orwell said that Big Brother changed the meaning of phrases and words into "double speak" when they became the opposite of what they originaly meant!"

Mike, 'political correctness' is the new 'double speak'. Once again, if you want to halt the abandonment of the rational and real you firstly need to seek out the exponents of PC (there?s always a generous concentration in most Town Halls and council offices). Then, once you?ve cornered one, grab the afor mentioned PC person by the windpipe and say, in a menacing voice - "Listen here, you earnest lower middleclass tosser. I don't want to hear anymore of your PC pap or y'll get some more of this!" Then proceed to lace him round the lughole with a rolled up copy of The Guardian.


Officer Dibble - he's a 'pro-active' PC

Graham Bright was a rather stupid Conservative MP whose nickname was "Dim", and who was fond of his teddy bear (honestly). For some reason he became Thatcher's PPS, and Alan Clark wrote that when Heseltine was standing against her, he was worried that she was not working to gather support from Tory MPs. He went round to have a word with Bright, and found him asleep in his office. I don't know if teddy was having a nap too. I think that Piers Fletcher-Dervish, Alan B'Stard's useless flabby sidekick, might well have been modelled on Dim.

How the fuck do we let these lamebrains rule us? We must be as stupid as they are!

How can we undo Graham Brights nasty work?

What about the "prevention of terrorism act"? It should be called the "creation of terrorism act"!!
