big brother is watching you

Like most people, I read Orwells 1984 at Eton, I re-read it in my early twenties and I have just read it again for the third time.

Damned good foresight if you ask me. For we are now living in an Orwellian prediction. I am filmed by god knows how many cameras each day, I am told I am being filmed when I travel, shop, walk, eat and everything else I do.

Whenever I hear "CCTV is being used for your safety" I hear "Big Brother is Watching You" instead

All wars are good and interchangeable, enemies become friends become enemies, the media is feeding us trivia to placate the masses and we are constantly being told to be vigilante and to beware of terrorists.

Some days I feel that we are in the society that Kafka, Orwell & Huxley predicted.

And why is nobody protesting? And why does nobody care? And really, do we want to know that Cheryl celeb is changing her name?

I am in Oxford, the animal rights activists will be out today, being filmed by the police and the security guards...

Time for a drink, Im meeting Baxter at one of the union clubs later.
