Every day we get closer to an Orwellian society. The United Kingdom may already be one.

Not even close to the horrors of an Orwellian society and saying it is is an insult to the characters in those books. It isn't great though, and it's heading in a troubling direction

Oh no! Wouldn't want to insult those fictional characters

I think the characters in the book will forgive as that's a work of fiction and they are not real. That's like saying I insulted Bugs Bunny for having big teeth. We'll get through this calamity. ✌🏻

I'm the guy that gets offended on behalf of what ever I want.

I'd say it's heading in an orwellian direction...
