Orwell Online

Posted by Jack Stephens | August 8th, 2008 | Crossposted from The Blog and the Bullet

Snowball, a British socialist blogger, writes:

If only Orwell were still around to see that certain things seem to run in the family of the British Union of Fascist leader…

Anyway, instead, we will have to make do with the fact that Orwell’s old diaries will be serialised online starting from tomorrow, day by day, here. Orwell I think would not only have approved of the blogosphere, he is a very much needed new presence in it given the kind of idiocy which currently dominates it, not least from those who claim to stand in his legacy yet cheer on imperialist war.
