"All Animals Are Equal. But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others."

George Orwell: Animal Farm.

Apply where necessary. For example: David Blunkett's theory on asylum seekers. George Bush and Tony Blair's attitude towards innocent Iraqis. The Lord Chamberlain's attitude towards everyone. American foreign policy towards the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Interestingly Animal Farm is often misread as an attack on communism. Orwell himself held staunch socialist values (see the Road to Wigan Pier). Animal Farm was in fact an attack on any form of totalitarianism. And if you were ever in any doubt about the state in which we're currently living here in the West, then I've no doubt that last week's Peace Marches and the subsequent 'Ignorance' of the people that they were aimed at should give you some indication of where the general public actually stand. It's just difficult working out which one is 'Napoleon the Pig' that's all. Probably Bush as he's still learning to walk upright.

Other News and Michael Jackson today hit back against Martin Bashir, the Channel 4 News Reporter that made the documentary, "Living with a Retard." "The programme was unfair," Jackson squeaked. "We now have video footage shot from a different angle showing the man on the grassy knoll how Bashir wormed his way into my confidence by pretending to be my friend and then made me say and do stuff that reflected badly on me." Yeah, yeah, yeah...who gives a shit? It's Friday night and it's been a long week. Now you know how all those little boys that you keep shagging feel, Jackson, the only difference being that, unlike them, it's only your ego that's been ripped to shreds and not your arsehole.
