Good one Gwil. I know of the artist but will let other people comment first. Big brother is definitely watching at Eric Blairs house. Do you think he was related to Tony? Thanks Gwil.
Snowden confirmed it - big brother is now watching everybody who uses the Internet. In fact as we now know there are many big brothers in different countries. Does your phone have a back door? Is your computer watching you? Or your TV? Or is your car spying on you? Did you pay by credit card for shopping? Or for something at the pharmacy? It's endless. And increasing.
I am afraid I dont understand. His best books were Road to Wigan Pier and Keep the Aspidistra Flying, my favourite. He was a strange man and definitely not working class Dave. He lived a lot of his life in Southwold.
I would add Burmese Days. He was a tall man and how he managed to walk through low coal mine tunnels . . . gives me back ache just to think about it. He's buried on the isle of Jura miles from anywhere. I'm a great admirer of him.
I have read many of them. I think it is pertinent that what one is doing at the time when reading. I will put to read his biography at the top of my list.
Russia’s international tv channel is no longer available to watch on my tv. The last ticker item I seem to recall reading on RT said Putin was sending a plane with medical supplies to Washington. And that Trump had said that that was nice.
Ah now I know why. EU edict - protecting EU from Russan disinformation has become a major challenge. Well I never! Where did I read this - on EU observer website of course. It was tucked away at the end of the piece on 31 March edict banning April Fool jokes by EU by news outlets. What's happened to our sense of humour? I used enjoy being caught by the absurd - yeti footprint found on moon? and other such nonsense one day a year! Official now. Since Jean Claude Juncker retired a sense of humour is 'unerwunsched'.

DeleteIs your government planning to roll out Chinese G5? If yes, are you happy with that?

ReplyDeleteThere's at least a dozen spying on you every day.
