Kathy’s pick of the week outside the top ten is Kevin Donnelly’s ‘1984 is nearly here’, which forensically highlights how Orwell’s satire is coming horribly true. He writes: ‘Drawing on events in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany, Orwell depicts an oppressive and terrifying world where freedom of thought, expression, religion and the inherent right to life and liberty are crushed . . . the violence and mindless groupthink epitomised by the actions of BLM activists’ politically correct ideology now rampant across society’s institutions are similarly instrumental in enforcing cultural-Left ideology and language control.’ As one commenter wrote: ‘Orwell meant 1984 to be a warning. The Left are using it as an instruction manual.’
Margaret’s pick is Marianne Locke’s ‘My granny outclassed the woke-class pseuds’ which in a few well-chosen words distills the essence of ‘class’.
