... some are more equal then others.

If we are to believe what we read, the outgoing Director General of the BBC turned down the idea of a statue of George Orwell outside Broadcasting House on the basis that he was "too left-wing".  Well, he was certainly a committed socialist, but the author of "1984" and "Animal Farm" - two of the most savage criticisms of totalitarianism and communism - too left-wing??  I don't think so!!
